Well sales won't be coming on their own and if you think gumroad discovery program is going to help you, you're mistaken. Selling your ebook on gumroad all in all is bad idea as they're selling crap on there hence it has bad reputation when it comes to buyers, your book can easily get leaked, and after all you need to promote it yourself since no one will really find your ebook via discovery program. This is the biggest problem i see with sellers, they just put their ebooks on platforms and few forums and think sales will come on their own, use social media, paid ads, give out review copies, recommend it as a 3rd person and so on.

this is what I do. I offer free and paid products. I give a list of content for free. For example:
Tested and it actually works. But currently into other stuff.
I assume you are sending traffic but it's not converting.
Hope it helps.

then when they pay 0$ to download the ebook, i collect emails and send them emails later promoting my high-ticket product.Tested and it actually works. But currently into other stuff.

The gumroad marketplace is generally trash and doesn't have actual traffic (like say etsy would). The proper way to use Gumroad as a payment gateway and a way to digitally distribute your product. But you send traffic there from a website or other means you don't rely on their built-in traffic. They also offer an API you can integrate as well as licensing keys system which can come in real handy.

bro I already tried to sell all my ebooks and digital product on Gumroad using your recommendations like using social media, paid ads, give out review copies, the sales are very low. Social media even promoting in huge groups and to in my 4 facebook accounts with 5000 friends each , the people barely visit my products page and when they visited then rarery buy something.
Paid ads and giving out review copies doesn't work too because people seems curious about ads and some click but even people from Tier 1 countries are cheap asf, and they never buy and reviews copies only attract curious people not serious buyers!
It looks most people nowdays are cheap asf or poor asf...
What you recommend me to do nowdays? Any different recommendation in order to attract quality traffic? @sscaz

It seems like your audience is not warmed up enough to buy your products. Your funnel can lead to gumroad, but the visitors need to be coming to it from a community you have cultivated over time.
