Does Gumroad's marketplace feature give it a competitive edge for attracting creators compared to other platforms?

Guest: I don't think so. I don't think it's as big of a difference. I made a couple of thousand bucks in sales. I think that's a nice bonus. I think to me, Gumroad has the digital creator in mind where Shopify has the physical creator in mind. That's what I feel is the difference. 

When I look at Shopify, which I think is a great company, one of the best companies out there today. They have a lot of really great features, templates, web design, a lot of plugins, which are really nice.

I know I'm kind of beating a dead horse when I say this, but like what's most important to me is getting started. And when I go and look at Shopify, I think about having to build a website and then getting a bunch of plugins with me. I just want to upload my course. I want to hit save, and I want to share the link to people because to me, speed is the most important.
