As you know selling digital products online can be a lucrative business you can run from anywhere as long as you have a internet connection. It will take you time to figure out a way to securely receive payments and deliver the product. The process allow you to be not present without you having to be involved in the whole process.
In this article, you will learn the quickest and easiest way to do it.
If you love and have digital products that you’d like to sell on the web and not sure how to do this, this may include eBooks, templates, videos, WordPress themes and plugins, MP3 music and podcasts, PDFs, Photoshop brushes, software and apps, you’ll need a way to collect payment and a way to securely deliver the products to paying customers.
You will learn that there are in fact several sites on the internet that can help you do this, but I will show you one of the easiest and most reliable way to do this is to use Shopify.
With Shopify, you will get a secure payment and product delivery solution set up for you without the technical know how, as well as the ability to quickly create landing pages or websites for your products without having any graphic design degree or any coding skills. You will get access instant reports showing product sales, trends and other important information to keep on you on track.
You can also sell physical products as well as digital ones – this can be a big deal if you sell physical products that need to be shipped.
However, Like most of the good services on the internet, Shopify is not free. The basic rate is $29.95 a month, with a 2-3% transaction fee. This means if you aren’t making many sales per month, fees charged by Shopify may not be worth it.
One the other hand if you are selling things that people are buying, whether they be digital or physical items, Shopify might be the perfect fit for you. You can read more about Shopify at https://www.shopify.com/
Here is a short video which explains what Shopify is, and how to use it.
As you can see from the video, Shopify is a fairly robust system.
Shopify has a number of competitors and if you have a WordPress site, one of the best alternatives to Shopify is WooCommerce at https://woocommerce.com/. The short video below shows what WooCommerce is and how it works.
you see from the video both Shopify and WooCommerce can be good choices if you want to sell digital as well as physical products online. However you should be aware they both have advantages and disadvantages, and you do your research into each before making your decision.
On a personal note, I prefer to sell my own products (books) on Amazon kindle. Amazon make it easy to upload your book’s digital file and have it available for purchase almost instantly. Most importantly if your on budget with Amazon there is no start up costs or any monthly fees. They take the order, process the payment, and delivers the product to the customer. You get paid at the end of each month.
Now a days I am only selling digital products i.e my books, Amazon is working good for me. this means I don’t have to maintain a website, a landing page, a shopping cart or any of the issues when setting up a payment system. So i am free to do other things my to do list however i found the only problem with Amazon is at this time, they don’t make it easy to sell digital files other than books. But that may change in the future.
