10 Best Online Services to Sell Digital Products
Average Rating:

Nowadays, everyone can become a creator. Technology has simplified the creative process, and pretty much anyone can now sell creative products like photography, music, videos, ebooks, and even artwork, online.

But while online marketplaces will guarantee you a lot of visibility, there’s still a lot you have to give up in return, as some marketplaces take a significant cut on your sales, and you’re not in control of the look and branding of the site. At times, you don’t even have control over the pricing of your products!

This is where online sales services come into play. They connect you and your customers directly, and at the same time handle the sales and digital distribution, cutting out the hassle and letting you focus solely on the products. With these kind of services, you’re in complete control of your products’ pricing, as well as the branding on the site, not to mention the fact that these services won’t take a 70% cut of your sales. Here are 10 such services that you may just want to take a closer look at.

  1. Hi Johnny, thanks for including Selz in your list of top 10 services for selling digital downloads. The post doesn’t include the URL for Selz which is https://selz.com/

    I thought I’d mention that sellers on Selz can use an app to offer their customers the choice of using PayPal and credit cards within a streamlined checkout. The checkout has been designed with the minimal number of steps for customers to complete, and doesn’t transfer them away to an external site to complete the order.Plus there are now apps for a shopping cart, reviews, tax invoice, and integrations with Aweber and Mailchimp making building an email list very easy.
