💡 Business Tip - Check out PayHip (Issue #68)
A nice alternative to Gumroad, Podia, Teachable, etc.
A friend recently reminded me of Payhip, so I’m exploring it for my new courses vs. using Gumroad.
Payhip is an all-in-one e-commerce platform that enables you to sell directly to your fans and followers. It provides all the tools you need to get up and running, including your own unique storefront where you can showcase your products — ebooks, software, clothing, art, music, etc.
Why am I considering the switch? Well, for one, the fee difference is pretty astounding.
Gumroad charges a 10% fee on every sale.
Payhip only charges a 5% fee.
Also, Payhip provides a full-blown course development tool vs. Gumroad’s pretty meager options for uploading docs and videos to manually create a course.
With Payhip you can create a customizable storefront to sell:
Digital products and downloads (e.g., ebooks, software, design assets, templates, video, audio, music).
Online courses with features such as videos, digital files, quizzes, and assignments. You can also publish drip courses and provide completion certificates.
Coaching sessions with online meetings using integrations with Zoom, Calendly and more.
Memberships that allow your customers to pay you on a recurring basis to access your digital downloads or membership group.
You can even sell and manage inventory for physical products.
Check out Payhip today and see if it might work for your solopreneur business!
