Could someone EXPLAIN me how to sell my own product

14 replies
I have my own software which I would like to sell. The problem is not the SEO or The website itself , I just have no idea how to do the money-product transfer.

I mean , I have seen websites where the creator of the software sell his product, there are paypal button, but how the customer gets the copy of the product when he pay, and how to set the paypal button the exact price of the product which he sells? Its needed script or paid service of website/database moderator.

Is there a specific manual for this or specific CLEAR advice?

Thanks in advance!

    You can do this from within your paypal account.

    Go to the Merchant Services tab (I think you need a business account)
    Select "Buy Now Button"
    Fill in the appropriate information
    At the very bottom, you can tell it a url to redirect the buyer to once he has paid (It is in a pull down at the bottom of the screen)
    Put your download link on the url you specified above

    I suggest you somehow protect that url so everyone does not get your product for free or use something like DLGuard or Digital Product Delivery for security.

    Just go to clickbank and sign up as a vendor and they do all the money sh^t for you if you don't want to do that then you need to get a paypal acct, sign up for marketplace account, get the html code to put the order button on site then all your payments will go through paypal. You can even set up your clickbank through your paypal. Go check out both sites and see your options.

      Richie's right...let someone else (like clickbank) help you get payments & help you market your product.

      Remember, security for your new product is going to be paramount to your success! You don't want to just get rolling and then find out how easily your personal digital masterpiece can be acquired. Protect your investment...you owe it to yourself.

    Good advice above.

    A free way to get started, however, is to get an e-Junkie account. Coupled with a paypal or other payment processor account it solves your download, protection, list building and other needs all at once.

      I have this same question, too. I'm curious, are you saying an e-junkie account, or at least a basic one, is free? I've looked at their website and I thought the min was $5 for 10 products. Am I missing something?

    I use paypal, and handle the download etc with SmartDD hosted on my own site.

    If all of this is really beyond your grasp right now, then check out the Clickbank setup or this one
    DPD - Digital Product Delivery - Sell Downloads and Run Your Own Affiliate Program
    (I haven't used it, but had it bookmarked.)

    Edit:
    Oh, yeah, the e-Junkie is a good suggestion too.
    (I don't think that post was there when I started writing mine)

    There numerous ways to handle payment and delivery. For the best option you will need to take into account your budget, your experience with payment processors and security.

    Personally I use ejunkie as a great all in one solution. Its very simple and quick to set up although I pay about $15 a month and it has a good affiliate system.

    If you want cheap get the $7 secrets script although if your inexperienced you may need somebody to install it.

    If you want free just go to your Pay Pal and create a button although security may be an issue but you could manually deliver it to overcome this.

    DL Guard is an excellent option for a one off payment of about $127 approx I could be wrong on the price. Again you may need somebody to install it.

    warriorbg,

    Seems like you got the answer you want but if all else fails you could simply say to send the cost to your PayPal account and then email you with the Transaction ID so that you could email them the product.

    Kind Regards,
    Sid Poudyal

    I would recommend learning proper grammar "explain me " can be replaced by "help me understand how to" or "explain to me"

    Just my grammar sentence :p

      We get what he is asking anyway ... who cares about his grammar?

      To answer the OP question, if you can afford it, DLGuard is the perfect solution for payment and secure delivery. You can use it for as many products as you can make and it is well worth the money. For a monthly fee, you can also use ejunkie.com
