I just sold a copy of my first info product!
Actually, I'm not sure if info product is the right name, because it's a raw dataset. Anyway, I collected the data about Shopify apps for my own purpose. For example, I wanted to check what are some popular apps with bad reviews, so I could build a better version. 😁
Also, just out of curiosity, I checked what are the most expensive Shopify apps, and published it here on IH. Encouraged by @yongfook, I decided to try to monetize the data. I was planning to create a report with valuable insights, but then I realized that I already have an MVP. I uploaded the dataset on gumroad:

I posted the link only in a comment to my previous post. Two days later... boom! First sale! Feels amazing. 😄
Yay! Second sale 😄

I was collecting this data daily for a month and then stopped because I thought there would be no good target customer 😬
Happy to find that you found a quick way to validate your idea 💪
In the end persistence wins!
Yeah, I've been also collecting the data by an automated script running daily for over 8 months now. I thought that I had to create a nice report with charts and insights to be able to monetize the data, but never found enough time to do so. It's only recently when I realized that a raw dataset may be also valuable.
Nice!

I used to gather data for the browser extensions. Is it worth to pack this data into a product in Gumroad?
Thank you! 🙂
It's worth trying.
You have taken right step to overcome from negative reviews of your product. You can also list it on apps site and always updating user friendly content.

What is your dataset about?
Okay, I think I can see it in your recent posts. Then I'm not sure if it will comply with Gumroad's terms of use
