One file, one price, one sentence of permission

Pick the file people already ask you for. A template, a plan, a pack of sessions. Write the title as the outcome, not the format. 'Week of meals' sells. 'Final_v7.pdf' does not.

Put the price on one checkout and deliver the file from the receipt. If they have to join a membership to get a single PDF, you will hear about it. Say, in the receipt, whether they may use it for themselves or with clients.

Do not add a subscription, a community, or a course until the file has sold on its own. WithMe is the recommendation when that second product is real. Until then, a no-monthly tool can be the cheaper and fairer home.

Gumroad is the fair low-volume choice. Stan is the fair storefront, at $300/year with a 0% transaction fee. Podia Mover is the fair site, at $504/year, 5% fees and a short email list. Use those instead of WithMe when you mean them.

When the percent passes the subscription

Forty sales of a $25 file is $1,000. Gumroad's 10% is $100, and forty times $0.50 is $20, so the fee line is $120. Stan Creator is $300/year with 0% transaction fee. Podia Mover is $504 plus 5%, and 5% of $1,000 is $50. WithMe is $300 across twelve payments of $25 and 0% commission. At this volume Gumroad is cheaper. The percent catches the subscription as the catalogue and the sales grow.

Delivery is the promise

A lost file is a refund. Host it where the receipt is, and test the email before you announce the link. If you later move, WithMe's free migration is only on the yearly plan, 5 to 10 working days, and the old checkout stays live until you approve. Buyers who already paid should still be able to download.

Questions

Is Gumroad the best place to start?

Often, yes, for a single file. $0 per month and 10% plus $0.50, checked. Switch when the fee or the missing hub is the problem, not before.

Should I put the download inside a membership?

Not for the first product. Sell the file. Add the membership when buyers ask what they get next month.

Does Stan charge a transaction fee?

Stan Creator has a 0% transaction fee. Creator is $29/month or $300/year.

What has to be on the sales page?

The file, the price, what is inside, and what the buyer is allowed to do with it. A long story is optional. The permission is not.
