3 things you should know before selling digital products on the internet

As the digital space continues to grow, the opportunities for selling products and services online are expanding.

As someone who has built 3 income streams selling digital products, it is a great way to make money from the comfort of your home.

Speaking from experience, here are 3 things you should know about selling digital products online:

1. Familiarize yourself with digital product platforms and marketplaces

Understanding the differences between multiple marketplaces can help you choose the best digital offering.

Why Udemy and not Skillshare?

Why Teachable and not Youtube?

Why Gumraod and not Sellfy?

You should also become familiar with the pricing models and payment methods used by each platform and marketplace, the customer service processes, and any associated fees.

2. Understand the taxes and fees associated with selling digital products

Depending on the country or state you are in, there may be different taxes you need to pay, such as sales tax or value-added tax, as well as any other taxes related to the digital products you are selling.

Additionally, you may need to pay fees for payment processing, such as transaction fees or merchant fees.

3. Make sure you have a secure payment gateway for customers to purchase your digital products

Ensuring that your customers can purchase digital products safely and securely is essential.

Make sure you have a secure payment gateway for customers to buy digital products.

This will include having a secure server for customers to make payments with, such as PayPal or Stripe.

Additionally, you will want to ensure that customers’ payment information is protected with encryption so that their data is safe and secure.

You could risk losing customers and their trust if you do not have a secure payment gateway.

But most important is taking the leap of faith and getting your products out there for the world to notice.
