Gumroad creators,

This is Daniel from the Small Bets community. You may have heard on social media that Small Bets has joined the Gumroad family, and I’d like to tell you more about Small Bets and what this means for you.

Small Bets began in 2021 as a live course I hosted through Gumroad. It was designed to help aspiring entrepreneurs take the leap into self-employment and navigate the uncertainties of that journey.

The ideas resonated, and I ran this course 29 times. We also had a small group chat that I originally set up to share recordings and maybe answer any lingering questions after each session. But over time, this group chat took a life of its own. It became a tight-knit community of people trying to improve their lives through flexible work arrangements that revolve around their ideal lifestyles, rather than the other way around.

Today, the community is buzzing with activity. Every day we discuss ideas, get feedback, share wins, and help each other. We’re now 6,775 members strong, and honestly, I never imagined that this little project I started on a whim 3.5 years ago would grow into what it is today.

We also recently started a resident experts program, featuring 13 amazing practitioners with real-world experience, ready to roll up their sleeves and help you out. Imagine having a question about your next move and getting advice straight from someone who’s been there, done that. That’s exactly what our resident experts bring to the table. From coding to marketing to design to e-commerce, they’ve got you covered.

And we’re not stopping here. Now, with Gumroad’s involvement, we can bring you even more support on speed dial for just about every aspect of your entrepreneurial journey. It’s a work in progress, but what’s here is already pretty awesome.

Our community is a safe space where you’ll find help, information, and encouragement, without any of the negativity on social media. If you think this is something that interests you, I’m inviting you to join Small Bets. If you sign up today, you’ll get lifetime access with no recurring fees, ever.

Join Small Bets today!

I can’t wait to meet many of you inside!

P.S. If you’re curious about the acquisition details, you can read all about it in my post on X.
