Explain it simply

This seller sells digital products on Gumroad, a site for selling downloads, but hated filming herself to advertise them. Now she writes a short script and an AI video tool makes the video for her. She posts more often, and her screenshot shows 911 sales, though it doesn't show how long they took.

How it works

  1. Write a short script for each promo instead of filming yourself.
  2. Let an AI video tool turn the script into a faceless promo video.
  3. Post consistently (she uses Threads), pointing to your Gumroad products.
  4. Offer a pay-what-you-want product next to the paid ones. In her screenshot it brought in the most money.

How it went

The rows show 7 sales for $130.63, 93 sales for $450.26 and 811 pay-what-you-want sales for $1,434.43, adding up to 911 sales and $2,015.32. The pay-what-you-want product brought in the most money. It's an unaudited screenshot, and she only says her sales "this year reflect that shift," with no before-and-after numbers.

Prompt

PromptWritten by our editors from the source
"Write a 30-second faceless promo video script for my Gumroad product
[name, what it does, who it's for, price]. Hook in the first 3 seconds,
3 short benefit lines, end with 'link in bio'. Give on-screen text and
voiceover separately."

Paste into your script-to-video tool, check the video, post 3 to 5 times a
week, and note which hooks lead to sales.

Our version; the post doesn't share her scripts or tools.
