​Gumroad to increase fees on sales to 10% plus processing fees​
​Gumroad CEO Sahil Lavingia announced (very casually) a flat increase in fees across the board to 10% for all creators starting January 31, 2023. Currently, fees are tiered—the lowest tier only paying 2.9% + processing fees.

Want an alternative? Try ConvertKit Commerce with a free ConvertKit starter account. CK only charges processing fees (3.5% + $0.30/transaction). That's it.

Thanks for making it to the end—I try and save some personal ramblings for this space.

Sunday is Christmas (Merry Christmas to you if you celebrate it!).

Publishing 100 weekly editions was the only goal I had when I started Growth Currency. I'm really proud of this milestone.

And I'm so honored and grateful to have you here along for the journey. I hope I've been able to help guide you in your newsletter journey.

So what happens after #100?
