To which creator economy platforms do beginner creators on Gumroad usually switch to if they prefer a fixed monthly fee economics model?

Guest: They will switch to Kajabi, Podia, Teachable, Thinkific. Generally we see people switching from selling a digital download, to selling a larger product, like a course or a membership. And that's why they switched to platforms like that.

However, if they're just looking to continue selling digital downloads, often they'll also look at Squarespace. Squarespace has their own checkout integration. If you're just selling some eBooks or some downloads, that's a very compelling proposition for a lot of creators to switch from Gumroad, which is taking a large percentage of their fees to a self-hosted platform. 

Of course there are other headaches that come along with that, but many creators find that it's the economics are better and it's worth the headache.

Wix has their own checkout. Also, WordPress, there are a lot of WordPress plug-ins. That'll handle checkout for you. Now, many of them will take some sort of transaction fee, but what many creators end up doing if their business is simple and they're selling one or two products is they'll just hook Stripe or PayPal directly into their website and they end up paying a lot less money.
