Which type of digital product should I make?

Match the product to how buyers want to use your knowledge.

1. Templates and tools: buyers want to skip work
2. Guides and ebooks: buyers want to understand
3. Courses: buyers want step-by-step change
4. Assets (presets, music, fonts): buyers use them in their own work

How do I write licence terms?

State what buyers may and may not do, inside the file and on the page.

1. Personal use: for the buyer's own projects
2. Commercial use: in client or paid work, priced higher
3. No reselling or sharing the files
4. Credit requirements if any

How do I handle tax on digital products?

Charge tax where the buyer lives, or use a merchant-of-record platform.

1. EU consumers: VAT at their country's rate; non-EU sellers have no threshold (Your Europe)
2. US: rules vary by state (TaxJar)
3. Merchant-of-record platforms handle it for you (Gumroad)
4. Keep records of buyer locations

How do I deliver files securely?

Use checkout that sends a download link only after payment.

1. Upload final files or a ZIP
2. Test the full purchase
3. Put share links (Canva, Notion) inside a PDF
4. Include a "how to use" page

How do I market digital products?

Show the product being used and make the link easy to find.

1. Short videos of the product in action

4. Listings on a marketplace for discovery

How do I build a catalogue?

Add products from buyer questions and bundle them.

1. Track questions after purchase

4. Retire products that never sell

What digital products sell best?

Specific, time-saving products: templates, planners, presets, short guides and courses.

Where should I sell digital products?

On your own store, a marketplace, or both; compare fees and tax handling (see the fee comparison on our digital products page).

Do I need a business?

Rules vary; many start as individuals and register later.

Can I sell AI-made products?

Yes, with care: purely AI-generated material is not protected by US copyright (US Copyright Office).

How do I prevent piracy?

You cannot fully; deliver after payment, include licence terms, and offer updates and support.

Should I offer refunds?

A clear short refund window builds trust.
