3 Pre-sales for my community platform

So its embarrassing to say this but I used Gumroad to set up a pre-sale process. I had not realized my first sale was over a month ago and was feeling those founder blues not realizing this. I was never notified by Gumroad. I found out on twitter that someone tagged me and advised me that they purchased. This was a bout a week ago. This got lost in my twitter feed @svc2_ I just today signed into my Gumroad account and there were 3 sales. Im excited but stressed that I was never able to get a follow up email out them in a reasonable time at least thanking them.

Let me know if you want to know what I did.

    Nice! That is not too bad, Gumroad probably sent them something already so now it is good to share your personal note.
    Can you share your gumroad page? Interested too see :)

          I like the simplicity! Well done :)
          I would recommend to make the images with actual text instead of lorem ipsum, or like black bars over the text.
          For the Gumroad: did people already pay? Or have they signed up but not yet paid?

            Hi Ruben could you show me an example of the images with actual text? Maybe somewhere where you've seen this?

            People have paid yes. $5 dollars today to lock themselves in at $10/Premium for life. 17 left so far out of 20.

            I have 39 on a waitlist.

    Congrats! Nothing to be embarrassed about - awesome work. I'm sure that they will forgive you for the lack of follow up, and if you can get 3 sales I'm sure you can get 30 more.

      Thanks Louis! Cheers to that.
