How do I sell a digital product?
Updated
The short answer
To sell a digital product, pick a problem you know how to fix. Make a simple file like a guide, template, or video. Upload your file to a selling platform, set a price, and get a payment link. Then, share that link with your audience on social media so people can buy it.
Step 1: Make something people want
Start with one clear problem your followers have. You do not need to make a huge course. A one-page checklist, an easy spreadsheet, or a short how-to guide is often better. Pick a topic you know well and solve that single problem from start to finish.
Save your work as a file anyone can open. PDF files work great for reading. MP4 files work well for short videos. ZIP folders work best if you bundle multiple files together. Test opening the file on your phone and computer before you sell it.
Step 2: Set up your store link
Once your file is ready, you need a way to collect money and deliver the download. Whop lets you sell digital files, courses, and communities. You can install an app from the Whop App Store called MKKT to upload your file, set a price, and get a store link that buyers can use without making a Whop account.
Making checkout easy matters. When buyers can pay quickly with a card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, or PayPal without filling out long signup forms, fewer people give up before finishing their purchase.
What to watch out for before selling
Watch the fees on every sale. Whop charges sellers a small fee plus payment processing for most products, though apps and some categories differ. Factor these costs into your price so you make a good profit on each sale.
Check your payout rules early. Payouts go straight to your bank account, but there is a minimum balance before you can withdraw your money. If you are not sure about the exact balance limit, check Whop's help center for the current number.
How to share your link and get sales
Do not wait for people to find your store on their own. Put your store link in your social media bio. Post short videos or tips that show how your product solves a problem, then tell viewers to click your link.
Our plain recommendation is to start small. Create one simple file, share it with your existing audience, and ask early buyers for feedback. You can always add bigger guides or memberships later once you see what sells best.
