Build in Public #4: The Sprint Ends Tomorrow. Still $0, and Here's What We'd Change

说明与用途

冲刺未产生销售：0 订单，0 收入，尽管有来自免费计算器和帖子的一定流量。大多数 Gumroad 视图为直接流量，而非营销渠道。未来将专注于评估内容的渠道，避免需要预热的账户。

问题

The sprint failed to generate any sales, leaving the team with $0 revenue despite multiple distribution channels.

结果

The sprint produced no sales; traffic was primarily from the free calculator and a single post, with most Gumroad views being direct and not attributable to marketing channels.

工作流

• 1. Launched free fee calculator on GitHub Pages to drive traffic. 2. Published posts on Dev.to and linked to Gumroad pages. 3. Tracked clicks and views via Gumroad, itch, and Dev.to analytics. 4. Analyzed distribution, offer, and timing factors. 5. Adjusted headline on data analyst page. 6. Planned post‑deadline strategy to focus on content‑judging channels.

证据

Orders: 0 across Gumroad, itch and our Chinese storefront. Revenue $0.

Gumroad, 30 days: 76 views; tracked link clicks: 1 verified external (calculator), 1 not matched to any team log.

来源

The first click we can trace came from a free tool, not from a post.

来源

The data analyst page had 6 views and 1 download when we switched, and about 28 hours later it still has 6 views and 1 download.
