New Distribution Channels for Digital Products?

2 replies
Hi

There are plenty of warriors who have experience of creating digital products and selling them through Clickbank and other traditional online channels.

But nowadays, many new amazing channels are opening up for distributing ebooks, audio and other digital content. I think this is a great time for a discussion on this subject, as the possibilities are HUGE! For example, it is new pretty easy to convert your products and sell them as:
  1. Kindle ebooks on Amazon
  2. ePub ebooks on Apple iBooks (iPad, iPhone, etc)
  3. podcasts on iTunes

...and many other digital platforms. PLUS, the emergence of print-on-demand is now making it easy to create a digital product and sell it as a physical product. For example, listing a product on CreateSpace allows you to sell it as a print-on-demand physical product to:
  • The entire Amazon marketplace
  • libraries, bookstores and retailers
  • book wholesalers

This is a whole new world for marketers of digital information products. Would anyone like to share their successes/challenges/experiences in these new markets?

    I think people mainly sell through clickbank is because of it's huge army of affiliates ready to promote you for the commission, not because of it's 'distributing channel'.

    Promoting it any other method usually means you have to do all the marketing yourself.

      No, that's the point...you don't.

      Get a Kindle version of an ebook live on Amazon, and you are immediately marketing to millions of potential buyers in the Marketplace. Get a product live through CreateSpace Expanded Distribution, and you are not only selling to the huge Amazon market, you are also getting your product marketed to bookstores, wholesalers and libraries. For the right product, that's awesome!
