Best Site To Sell Ebooks/Digital Downloads With Affiliates?

Hello,

I've been reading this forum for a long time and finally have a reason to post. I am looking for the best way to sell and promote digital products. I need to collect payment.

Over the past few months I've created an e-book. It is about making websites, primarily with WordPress.

I don't have a huge audience yet, and I want to work with affiliate marketers to promote the book. First, I considered different ways to accept payment on my website. I looked at Gumroad, Selz, and Sellfy. I'm not the biggest fan of Easy digital downloads. Gumroad seemed like the best option due to the popup in-browser letting customers never need to leave my website to make a purchase.

Now, I am trying to figure out if there is a way to use Gumroad with affiliates. It seems I would need to make many different yet identical products on that site, and give each affiliate marketer their unique URL. I am looking at the WP Affiliate Platform plugin too for Gumroad.

Also, I'm considering ways to accept money using affiliate networks. Jvzoo is often suggested on this site. Clickbank is obviously popular.

Sendowl provides a way to collect payments and incorporates affiliates, and I hear mixed reviews about E-Junkie.

Any advice about which one I should use, or a direction to go?

Thanks,

-Ben

One you did not mention was Dealguardian. I would suggest checking them out. They have an affiliate program installed, have custom check out pages, and accept both credit cards and paypal.
      Is Dealguardian's return policy as insane as Clickbank's?

        DealGuardian allows you to set up your own refund period: 7 days, 14 days, 30 days or 60 days. Your choice.

    Hi Ben, congrats on completing your first ebook!

    I would say go where a large majority of Warriors go to manage all the back end (payments, affiliates, sales, delivery) Warrior+ or JVZoo.

    You can use either to list your book here for sale in the WSO section or host at either of those two sites or integrate their payment buttons on your own self hosted site.

    Hope that helps!

    Thanks, Shane

    Have you looked at Payloadz? They have an affiliate program.

      I used to be a big Payloadz supporter, but last time I tried to get up a sales page, about six months ago, I kept getting errors. To bad too, it's a great concept especially for new marketers.

    Sendowl is good also if you don't want to mess with delivery at all. They handle the storage and the protected delivery with expiring links for the downloads. Simple setup and you can also sign up affiliates for each of your products. Integrates with most autoresponders.
