    GumRoad account suspended for no reason

    That seems to be the missing link then! I will make sure to focus more on social media sharing. Thanks a lot.

    GumRoad account suspended for no reason

    Guess I'm close to that. I've got 4 minutes of average read time in the last week (with 541 users) and a bounce rate of 4.20%. I guess that's a con. One of my weak points* is lack of views, but I believe I will increase them in a matter of months by publishing quality content and improving my...

    GumRoad account suspended for no reason

    Do you have any suggestion? I've heard of eJunkie but I've got no idea how reliant it is.

    GumRoad account suspended for no reason

    Yeah, luckily everything got solved now. I promised the customer I'll send him a free copy of my next release to excuse myself for the inconvenience he experienced.

    GumRoad account suspended for no reason

    I tried contacting them. I contacted them this morning and they replied to me with a text that looked like a template. I contacted them again a hour ago, no reply yet.

    Does anyone know how to deal with all this?

    GumRoad account suspended for no reason

    Okay, now that's funny. Quick update on the whole situation. Basically the customer didn't chargeback because the product sucked, but because HE DIDN'T RECEIVE THE PRODUCT in the first place. And that was a GumRoad's problem and not mine. I can't f*cking believe this! And they also banned my...

    GumRoad account suspended for no reason

    Thanks for the wake up call. The point is my content is about psychology and self improvement and what scares me is that as MJ said in tmf, I'm polarising a small group of people: the ones who are truly looking to improve themselves (and so benefit from my content) and those who are just...

    GumRoad account suspended for no reason

    That might be. The reasons for the lack of sales might be several. Weak copy, weak marketing on my blog and things that have nothing to do with the product itself, but with its presentation. Or maybe the e-book is priced too high? Honestly, I can't tell. I believe the e-book has value in it...

    GumRoad account suspended for no reason

    I released an e-book (priced 19.49$) on Gumroad a few months ago. Mind you, I only made 2 sales so far. Tonight, someone bought the product and guess what, chargeback after 20 minutes. And not only that, apparently my account was suspended, too. Without any explanation. I used GumRoad as a...

    Is Data Science A Fastlane Skill?

    Thank you, I highly appreciate the advice. I'll check out the books! Unfortunately, I'm in uni mainly to "please" my parents and have a back-up plan for the future (whose value is clearly dubious). Luckily, I'm not making it the focus of my life and I'm still learning every day things on my own.

    There's a difference between dreaming and only dreaming, and dreaming but also taking action.

    Can Copy and Marketing Look "Too Scammy"?

    MARKETING 
    Wow. Thank you very much. Truly resonates with me.. I somehow got to believe that aggressive copy and marketing always means the product is low quality, as @Fox Said, "try hard". And as a result, I feel like using them would be "guilty", as you said. I suppose most of my competitors use...

    Can Copy and Marketing Look "Too Scammy"?

    MARKETING 
    Yeah, I guess it's another form of targetting certain people (mostly kids, teenagers or people unexperienced with the internet).

    Can Copy and Marketing Look "Too Scammy"?

    MARKETING 
    In my past, I've fallen for these bro-marketing strategies MJ talks in his books. The ones who look promising and where Each Word Starts With A Capital Letter. In my niche (blogging) it looks like many competitors follow this strategy. I can't tell whether their products are high quality or...

    Is Data Science A Fastlane Skill?

    I'm studying in University for a 3 year degree in Economics and Data Science. I know this forum is called thefastlaneforum and not theslowlaneforum. Indeed, my life goal is owning a profitable fastlane business before the age of 25 (I just got 20). I know the scripted shit about university...

    Better Late than Never!!

    INTRO 
    Welcome! Just a tip: focus on only one thing and give your best at that thing. Just pick a decision and stay loyal to it. Also, find something that people need. Everyone can create apps, but how many of these are truly useful for the average user?

    How do i rank my Blog?

    MARKETING 
    I'd say OP should focus on quality over quantity. 10 well written posts are better than 100 mediocre ones.

    Ended Up in University: I Regret it Already

    RANT 
    So a few months ago, right after high school, my parents kind of "persuaded" me to go to University (crabs in a bucket mentality, once again). So it's been 3 months now and I feel like my life SUCKS. It feels like I'm wasting my time. I believed I could both study and run a side-hustle. I was...
