Selling Digital Products From A WordPress Blog

Selling digital products directly from a wordpress blog is something I have only recently started working on. In the past I only put affiliate links. Selling my own products is something I am kind of new at focusing on, I have had a few attempts that I did not market very well in the past though.

The Thesis Theme has a nice no sidebar page template which lends itself nicely to sales pages. I like the no sidebar look for pages and find I can add really big videos like I did on the Free Stuff page.  I have a bunch of free marketing ebooks there and added some videos of Ana Free. That fits, to me, and she has a great voice.

So far I have a Products Page that I will be working on more and it has a subpage where I installed a salespage for my Find Profitable Niche Products ebook. That page can be refined some too. I tend to get things going first as best as I can with the time I have then refine it when I can apply more time.

I am researching the whole Sales Pages for WordPress idea and am finding various tools and themes and plugins that can be used in different ways. I only added a Google Checkout button for payments on the Profitable Niches ebook sales page. That will need to be upgraded probably though with Google Checkout people trust them and when I made the button there is a choice to say it is a digital download product and they ask for the download link so it looks like they will also handle fulfillment by sending a link to the download in the reciept email.

As cool as that sounds it is not really a secure and time constrained download. There is one plugin I have seen designed to protect product downloads, The WordPress Profit System Plugin. I am going to take a look at maybe using that one, it seems interesting.

There are a variety of themes and plugins available, almost too many, but I am better at research than I am at a lot of things so will be figuring out which are best. Subscribe to my blog if you want to follow developments as I will be making additional posts on this.

Trust me, You gotta see This WordPress Plugin that practically writes salesletters for you. Just click the link and take a look, that is all I ask. You have to be impressed by the intelligence here, even if all you do is see this and learn about something this brilliant.
