Why Most Digital Products Fail — And How a Free ROI Calculator Can Save Yours

Every day, thousands of creators launch digital products with big dreams — but most barely break even.

Why? Not because the product is bad, but because they never validate the idea with numbers.

The Harsh Reality
Here’s what often happens:

  • You get an idea.
  • You build it for 20, 50, or even 100 hours.
  • You slap on a $10 price and launch on Gumroad.
  • Then… silence.

Creators don’t fail from lack of effort — they fail from lack of strategy.

The Fix: Plan Profit Before You Build
The smartest way to approach product creation is to ask:

“Will this actually make money before I spend weeks building it?”

That’s why I built a free Digital Product ROI Calculator. It’s a simple spreadsheet that:

  • Helps you estimate how many sales you need to break even
  • Calculates your profit margin after Gumroad or Etsy fees
  • Shows different outcomes based on pricing and growth rate

What It Helps You Avoid
✅ Building a product no one wants
✅ Underpricing and losing profit
✅ Over-relying on gut feeling

How to Use It (Takes 2 Minutes):

  1. Enter your product price
  2. Add your estimated cost/time
  3. Input your expected monthly sales
  4. See your revenue, profit, and break-even point
