Gumroad isn't a good idea unless you only want to sell a PDF or something. It takes about a year to get visibility on Google so you lose out on the SEO if you use GR.

I'm speedy with WordPress so I quickly boot up a landing page using Elementor (page builder). I use Gravity (plugin) to build the form. I recently built a plugin (see my github at mayur.ca/github) to copy gravity emails to FluentCRM (mailchimp replacement) that also sits on my site. All of this takes me about 1 hour + tweaking going from registering the domain to having the site live and done.

I did this with one of my projects moodboards.ai and the site has 156 emails so far - 95% organic traffic - after 1 year.

It takes more time, but put in the effort to create email capture that sits on your own domain name.

From easy to difficult:

  1. Register domain, build a static page, add link to Google Forms
  2. Carrd.co - get Pro for custom domain - $19/year
  3. Mailchimp script + [whatever you want to use to build a static page]
  4. My WordPress suggestion above

There are tonnes of email list builder apps out there: ActiveCampaign, Beehiiv, Brevo, Buttondown, ConvertKit, EmailOctopus, GetResponse, Klaviyo, Mailchimp, MailerLite, SendFox, SendGrid, Sendy, FluentCRM. Use whichever you like.
