How to sell digital products on your website

Sell digital downloads on WordPress with Easy Digital Downloads

Easy Digital Downloads is perhaps the easiest way to transform your WordPress-powered blog or website into a fully-fledged online store or marketplace, where you can sell all kinds of digital products.

Ebooks, reports, music, photos, interviews, videos… There are countless ways how you can monetise your digital content and sell it to people online.

So if the technology is there, available practically for free, then what could possibly hold you back from using your blog to earn more money?

It’s all about the looks, baby

Most websites look like crap.

They’re atrociously designed, difficult to navigate on mobile, and hard to understand.

How would you enjoy shopping at a store that arranged shelves in a maze instead of straight lines? I bet you’d take your hard-earned money elsewhere, wouldn’t you?

It works exactly the same way online.

People are more likely to associate a smart looking, cleverly designed site with a reputable seller, meaning that they’re also likelier to trust you enough to hit the Buy Now button.

If you can’t afford to pay a professional web designer to do your website, then we got the next best thing for you. We rounded up the best WordPress themes that are compatible with online stores that use the Easy Digital Downloads plugin – download and activate for an instant makeover.
