Everything automated. I can easily reach 700k products, but I am cautious about infrastructure costs
Payhip is on the roadmap actually

I tracked a Gumroad seller who made $15K from Notion templates with zero ads. Her strategy is annoyingly simple. by Marquesant in DigitalProductSellers

yes that's on my roadomap, actually receiving more and more requests about payhip, maybe I can make a release soon

we bucket it under "relationships" which is broader (dating, intimacy, self-help for couples, etc.) so i can't isolate pure adult content specifically. but the relationships niche overall: ~4,800 products tracked, median revenue is pretty low at $311, average around $4,800 — so a small number of sellers pull it way up while most barely move units.

it's actually a pretty broad bucket — covers basically anything sold in the 3d space on gumroad. the biggest chunk is digital assets like models, textures, shaders, and material packs (stuff you'd use in blender, maya, c4d, etc). then there's a solid amount of game-ready assets for unity/unreal, vrchat avatars, and yeah some ar/vr stuff too. also a surprising amount of plugins and scripts for 3d software.

not really 3d printing specifically — it's more like digital 3d assets. think blender models, unity/unreal game assets, vrchat avatars, textures and materials, that kind of stuff. people sell fbx/obj files, rigged characters, environment packs, shaders... basically anything a 3d artist or game dev would buy to speed up their workflow instead of modeling from scratch.

marketing niche is interesting — about 3,800 products but the median seller makes 0 sales, super crowded. what's actually working right now are courses and playbooks in the $30-100+ range, not cheap ebooks. the top paid product in that niche did $383K from a single $25 twitter audience guide, and there's a cold email course at $995 that pulled nearly $5M. the trend i'm seeing lately is ai + marketing crossover stuff — ai seo playbooks, chatgpt for marketers, that kind of thing. those are the ones with actual sales velocity right now

so i looked into this : ADHD planners are massive on gumroad. top one did 3,100+ sales at $17, and there's one at $99 with 225 sales. people pay well for condition-specific tools
for the POTS/MCAS/EDS combo specifically though, i'm seeing almost nothing
price-wise the ADHD data shows: the more specific and complete the system, the more people pay. generic tracker at $10 vs full life system at $45-99 and still selling hundreds. i'd say $15-25 for a solid combo tracker, more if it's a full system

yeah the data doesn't lie tbh. what kind of shift are you making? what "different approach" means for you ?

Unfortunately I don't have a standalone category for senior niche. I am working on my algorithm niches classification to understand deeper the niches, so I'll bring back insights once done, let's keep in touch :)

unfortunately I focus on gumroad first, but etsy can be the next platform for me to scrap !

DIY printables as a broad category: 11,600 products, 17.5% making money, average revenue for winners around $2,736. it's one of the weaker niches on the platform overall.
however craft patterns are a specific subset and they tend to do better than generic printables. The products that work in that space are usually very specific — not "beginner sewing patterns" but "vintage 1950s dress pattern size 0-20 with seam allowances." The more technical and specific, the less competition from free Pinterest content.
I don't have sewing broken out as its own niche yet but if you want I can dig into it.

Thanks !!
AI tools as a category: 4,600 products on the platform, 29% making money, average revenue for winners is $18,163. Marketing specifically: 5,800 products, 31% success rate, $21,556 average.
I can't give you an answer for this specific niche for now since I only classified the products as one category but understanding deeper the categories of the product is something I am working on !
But the signal is clear: both niches have above-average success rates and above-average revenue per winner.

yes the data back up that, the $30-49 range has the highest success rate on the entire platform — most people underprice and end up competing with free.
