Top 5 Platforms to Sell Your Digital Products on the Internet & Earn Money
If you have a product, start selling it.
Digital products have become a new norm. Every creator owns digital products, earning them $$$ every month. If you also want to be one of them and you are ready with your first digital products but are confused about where to sell them.
Here I'm going to tell you 5 platforms where you can start selling your digital products without investing $. All you have to do is set up your profile and your products on the platform.
They all take fees after you make the purchase, so it's worth taking the chance.
Let's begin.
1. Gumroad
You can sell digital products, ebooks, and guides on Gumroad. Creating and launching a product on Gumroad is very easy. You just have to create your profile, and you can start without investing a penny.
Gumroad takes flat 10% fees for every sale you make through the platform. It has a Gumroad Discover feature, which gives you organic traffic.
It comes with built-in features like email automation and cross-selling. If you want to sell your digital products in 2024, I suggest you definitely try Gumroad.
2. Creative Fabrica
Creative Fabrica is more of a platform for artists and Art lovers. You can find text and stickers there. If you also love art, then go for selling on Creative Fabrica. You can sell Notion templates and Canva templates there.
You have to go through an approval process before selling on Creative Fabrica. Creative Fabrica is a marketplace, so you have to pay attention to keywords and SEO while listing your products. They take a flat fee of 50% on each sale.
If you are someone who doesn't enjoy promoting your digital products on social media, Creative Fabrica can be your place.
3. Etsy
Etsy is one of the biggest marketplaces in the world. You have to set up your shop to sell on Etsy. The process of opening a shop on Etsy is easy. Regarding fees, they have listing fees of $0.20 for each sale.
If you want to sell on Etsy like crazy, you have to focus on SEO and good mockups. In the beginning, Etsy does not promote your shop much, but after getting some good ratings, they will boost your shop.
From my experience, I don't find Etsy easy at all. Although they have huge traffic, the platform's conversion is very low.
4. Payhip
It is just a platform like Gumroad. You have to upload your product and then bring traffic from social media. You can build a landing page for your products, and they take very low fees of 5% of each successful sale.
I'm yet to experience Payhip. However, many writers on Medium use Payhip to sell their ebooks, and they have had good results. So, if you don't prefer Gumroad, you can go for Payhip.
5. Ko-fi
Ko-fi is a kind of donation platform like Buy Me a Coffee, but you can set up your shop here. It is very easy to set up your shop here. And as Ko-fi is not a marketplace, you've got to bring traffic from different places. Pinterest works best with ko-fi.
My customers from ko-fi come from Pinterest. I've seen many creators earning well with this combination of Pinterest and ko-fi. So, if you just want an easy-to-use platform, you can go for ko-fi. The good thing about Ko-fi is that it doesn't charge any fees for donations.
So that’s it for today. Hope you find it helpful. If you want to be a Notion creator, here 91+ resources list you to help in starting.
