Earn by selling Digital Products | From Clueless to Creator
Two years ago, I didn’t even know what a digital product was — let alone how to sell one. I was living in Dhaka, spending hours scrolling through YouTube videos titled “How to Make Money Online” but never finding anything that felt real or possible for someone like me.
But today?
I’m proudly earning passive income every single month by selling digital products on Gumroad — and the best part? I did it all from Bangladesh… with zero experience.
This guide is exactly what I wish I had when I started. If you’re wondering how to sell on Gumroad from Bangladesh, keep reading — I’m breaking it all down, step by step.
🌱 My Beginner Story: The First $5 Felt Like $500
Back in 2023, I stumbled across a blog post about selling Canva templates online. I loved design, but I never imagined I could turn it into income — especially from Bangladesh.
At first, I had questions like:
- Is Gumroad available in Bangladesh?
- How do I get paid without PayPal?
- Do I need a website or company license?
But I took the leap.
Here’s what I did:
- Learned how to create simple Canva templates (like planners & social media kits)
- Opened a Gumroad account — yes, it works from Bangladesh
- Set up a Payoneer account to receive USD payments
- Uploaded my first product (a productivity planner!)
- Promoted it on Pinterest & Facebook groups
After 2 weeks — boom 💥 — my first sale. $5 from someone in the U.S. I couldn’t believe it.
Now I earn consistently each month, and I want to show you how to do it too.
