HOW TO LAUNCH A DIGITAL PRODUCT BUSINESS<br />

Then there are other systems like BlueSnap (www.blusnap.com -<br />

previously known as Plimus) but that company in particular charges<br />

obscene fees and is known for its poor cus<strong>to</strong>mer service – hence the<br />

change of name!<br />

Another option is <strong>to</strong> sell your <strong>product</strong> through an existing platform. If you<br />

have an ebook then you can upload it <strong>to</strong> Kindle Direct Publishing<br />

completely for free and start making money from Kindle sales. Alternatively<br />

you could sell an ebook through Amazon or even eBay. Apps meanwhile<br />

tend <strong>to</strong> sell directly through various app s<strong>to</strong>res such as the iTunes App<br />

S<strong>to</strong>re or the Google Play S<strong>to</strong>re. This way you'll get your <strong>product</strong> seen by<br />

millions of users and make it very easy for them <strong>to</strong> buy. The downside is<br />

that the items in these s<strong>to</strong>res don't sell for very much (an app will go for as<br />

little as $0.60!) and that there's a lot of competition.<br />

The good news though is that there's nothing <strong>to</strong> s<strong>to</strong>p you from adding your<br />

<strong>digital</strong> <strong>product</strong> <strong>to</strong> these s<strong>to</strong>res as well. As such, the best option is probably<br />

<strong>to</strong> sell your <strong>product</strong> in multiple s<strong>to</strong>res and <strong>to</strong> experiment with various types<br />

of sales and various types of <strong>product</strong>.<br />

This is for further down the line though. For now, the best place <strong>to</strong> start is<br />

with JVZoo which will make it as easy as possible <strong>to</strong> get set up and started<br />

and which will offer lots of great marketing opportunities going forward.<br />
