We are living in a digital age. Where everything, thanks to technology, has been made easier. If you're an artist or creative, have you thought about how I could sell my work? So in this post, I'd love to share the benefits of using your own store. Platforms called Gumroad and PayHip

1. The power of digital products

Digital products can be in the form of videos, audio, or images. Something you have created for commercial use. Personally, I use images for selling digital printables that I have designed using Adobe Illustrator and Sketchbook Pro. Whatever your skill, you can sell editable templates, making it easier for others. After all, that is what people are willing to pay for.

2 Use Gumroad for selling your digital products.

Gumroad is a self-hosted website that allows you to sell your digital products for free. It is perfect for digital creators. The website you create becomes your own store. They take a small percentage on each sale, which is a small price to pay. What's great about Gumroad is that it has an easy-to-use interface that anyone can use. It has built-in email marketing features. To get new people to subscribe or let your existing customers know when you release a new product or design.
 
Other features include its own analytics. Allowing you to see where you're getting visitors from. Like any business, you need a strategy in order to get customers to your store. When receiving payment for any sales of your digital products, you can easily connect to PayPal or your bank account.

3 Payhip is another way to sell your digital products.

Like Gumroad, Payhip is a platform where you can sell your digital products for free. Payhip may not have an email newsletter feature like Gumroad, but it does have some other built-in marketing features. It allows to run sales on products. Giving customers discounts making it a more attractive way to build your clientele. You can add a newsletter but through third party websites like MailChimp. In order to receive payment you can use your Bank account and PayPal.

4 Succeed in selling your digital products

  • Quality is paramount: Take the time to produce visually appealing and high-quality digital printables or products that appeal to your target market. Products that are distinctive and well-designed draw customers and promote repurchases.
  • Narrow your focus: Choose a certain market or niche for your digital product. As a result, you can serve a narrower clientele and establish yourself as an authority in that area.
  • Interact with your audience: Use social media to interact with your audience by releasing sneak peeks, making behind-the-scenes videos available, and giving away limited-time deals. Customer loyalty is increased when a community is created around your products.
  • Ongoing development: Keep up in the marketplace developments and consumer tastes in the area of digital printables and products. Refine and grow your product line frequently to keep up with changing consumer needs.
  • Improve product tags and descriptions: In your product names, descriptions, and tags, use descriptive language and pertinent keywords. By enhancing visibility and searchability, you increase the likelihood that people will find your products.
