Just reached 100 sales with my digital product, on my own platform! 🚀

I am extremely happy to share this with you all.

So I am working on Pocketsflow.com – a simple yet powerful platform to sell digital products online. We have about 700 people in the waitlist.

And this past Sunday, I made a post on Twitter giving away a digital product (Notion Template), but this time not on Gumroad, I deployed it on Pocketsflow, and it went super smoothly!!

10 all 5-star Ratings, and 100+ Sales 🔥

This is was a test for Pocketsflow obviously, I tested the conversion rate of this product with this product page (Yes Pocketsflow will have multiple product pages to choose from) and it was 73% – used Mixpanel. But also it was a valuable product that I hope people found it useful!

In the past 3 days, I worked on the Dashboard page, that has various analytics metrics for your products, I am planning to add funnel metrics

(Product page → Checkout page → Thank you page)

And then launch a second product to see if these metrics are valuable.

I'll keep you all updated, thank you.

Here is the Notion product, grab it for FREE: https://app.pocketsflow.com/prod/646a3c596218b0a1c61cf179

    Congrats!
    How does the platform differ from other platforms that help you sell digital products like Gumroad and Envato? What is your value proposition?

      Thank you!

      Pocketsflow is different in someways:

      • It will have different designs to choose from for your product pages.
      • Superior analytics (e.g. Track conversion for each product, funnel analytics, )
      • Explore page to make your products get discovered.
      • AI tools to help you write product descriptions.
      • 0% fees if you make under $100 – To make it fair for beginners. And NOT 10% after that.

      And most of all, I am trying to make a fair and accessible platform that adapts to user requests and feedback. I will keep Pocketsflow as open as possible. Something that other platforms are not.

    Congrats on the initial success and validation. How does Pocketsflow compare with Gumroad? Will you be a direct competitor or are there ways you plan to differentiate?

      I want to create a fair and accessible platform, something that the users can feel comfortable and not robbed while using it. I sent out an email titled "What's frustrating you with current platforms" and almost everyone who replied said: Gumroad is taking too much, feels like robbery.

    Awesome, good luck! Also, I downloaded the product, thank you!
