Sell Digital Products Online

One increasingly popular and simple way to earn money online is by selling downloads. A digital good is simply a non-physical product that a user can download from a web site or from an attachment in their email.

Instant Gratification

What makes selling digital goods very big business on the Internet is the fact that a person can often have their product within minutes or even seconds after purchase.

The ebook is probably considered to be the most popular of all digital products. In addition to eBooks, people are also buying and selling products such as music, art, audio courses and much more.

Selling Ebooks And Including Hyperlinks For Free

Being that a huge part of the digital goods market is ebooks, a lot of people like to start there when creating a product for sale on the Internet.

The standard format for ebooks is PDF format. Your authoring software must be capable of creating a PDF file. The good news is that most of the software that enhances your authoring tool, giving it the ability to export to PDF, is free.

A lot of times in your ebook product you will want to include hyperlinks; or links to yours or other web sites. You will find that your free PDF creation software will not have this capability unless you pay for an upgrade. But there is a free way to do this.

There is a free suite of office applications available at OpenOffice.org. This business office suite mimics the Microsoft Office suite if that is what you are familiar with. In fact, you can use the free software to open and edit files created with MS Office. Another great feature of this software is the ability to export to PDF format and it will also allow you to include hyperlinks in your ebook, all for free.

Don't Have A Product To Sell? Sell Someone Else's

One simple way to get started in this business is to purchase other people's products, along with the rights to sell the products to others. You then can add the products to a digital marketplace for free and the digital marketplace will automatically deliver the product to your customer after purchase, while your PayPal account gets filled with cash. A perfect example of this is an audio course that I purchased for and resold over and over again for in the digital marketplace.
