Where do I store My Downloadable For Sale jpeg and PDF Content?

19 replies
I am producing some printable coloring puzzle book content for sale and wanted to promote it on on JVZoo or Worrior Plus, just wondering how I do that?
I do have affiliate accounts, but have just bought and not sold products.

My questions are:
Where can I store the product for download? Some are large files.
Do I use my own sales page website and autoresponder, or is that part of JVZ or WP product setup?
Is there anything else I need to know, or have set up before I start?
Does anyone know of any inexpensive storage space for my downloadable products?
I'm thinking cloud storage, but not sure how it works?

I have my websites with godaddy and hostgator but am unsure how much data I can download from there?

    Digital downloads can be stored in any number of places. Ease of use by the purchaser, security of the download, and download speed can be some the issues you'll have to be concerned with.

    You can store things on your web site with the proper set up, but IMO, there are other better strategies.

    Amazon AWS is one popular and fairly inexpensive alternative.

    pcCloud is another one I've been impressed with.

    JVZ and some of the other selling platforms have their own specific requirements that you should learn at their web sites. Many marketers use these popular alternatives but which is best for your own situation depends upon your own priorities.

    To find out what your download limits are at Hostgator, you should contact them directly - which is the same advice I would give anyone contemplating using an online vendor.

    Where can I store the product for download? Some are large files.
    On your own hosting account, on AmazonS3 (very cheap) or on another cloud based system (like Kajabi, Teachable or Udemy).

    Do I use my own sales page website and autoresponder, or is that part of JVZ or WP product setup?
    Your own, or something like Click Funnels (If you like buggy platforms).

    Is there anything else I need to know, or have set up before I start?
    Segment your email list into buyers and non buyers.

    Sorry to hear that dude.

    Why not just use your own hosting service to store your files?

    Thanks for the replies.
    I signed up for Amazon S3 .

    Is anyone using S3 for product downloads?

    S3 also has an extensive list of services, is anyone familiar with which ones I use?

    At this point I just want to store my product, and have it be downloadable from my autoresponder Email sent after purchase.
    Thanks.

    I will have to ask my hosting service what my download limit is.
    My products are graphics and fairly large; and I will be developing an online course; so was thinking I need somewhere to store and access the content for products I create.

    You can use the following ways to store your products/downloads:

    1) Your own website

    2) File upload site (ex: dropbox)

    3) Tradebit/Payloadz/ejunkie

    The list goes on and on. Call your webhosting service and ask them to walk you through step by step.

    Hi,

    I personally use cloud storages or Devianart's "stash". It's a site made for uploading art so it handles images well.

    I set up an account with Amazon S3.
    It works really well; you basically create buckets to store your information; within the buckets you create folders, and then upload your content to the folders, and get a link to that content, which you would put in your autoresponder email.

    Does anyone know how the pricing works for the different cloud storage mentioned in this thread?

    Amazon S3 is a great option.
    Simply be aware that once your file is "public" everyone who knows the path to it can download it.
    This shouldn't really stop you, but you should expect that.
    Just don't be bothered by it ...

      You do realize you can lock the bucket's

        I don't sell stuff through s3, so I never used s3 that way.
        I know I can manage permissions on any s3-hosted file, but I think what the OP needs is some encrypted key he can provide to his customer. Must be something easy to use and manage. But if it's too much of a headache, I'd just give the URL of a public resource he's selling, then change that URL from time too time. If it's too cumbersome to manage private access, that's not worth the time.

    I had the same problem. So I went out and bought a 2 TB Western Digital USB drive to store things on for about $75 at Best Buy.

    Is there a more secure download or cloud system, that has individual download links, instead of a public one?
    Thanks.

      Amazon S3 Is fine for what you want I would suggest if time allows go to You Tube and look up some info so you know how it all fits together the bonus is you will find it very easy to use

      There is a great bit of software to help uploading form puter/laptop called
      Cloud Berry

    If it's Wordpress, the Easy Digital Download plugin creates unique download URLs for each buyer.

    You can also set how many downloads are allowed per unique URL and time limits for the download URL to expire.

      Can you have storage with the plug in or just a fancy download page ?

    I will need my download area to be secure.
    I intend to sell product through FIVERR, JVZoo, Worrior plus etc, so would like to have individual download links for each customer, is that easily set up in S3 or some other storage system?
    My website will be wordpress, just not sure how all that works if selling through the affiliate programs I mentioned?
    Thanks.
