Becoming more and more popular all the time as a method to make money online is by selling digital items. A digital good is simply a non-physical product that a user can download from a web site or from an attachment in their email.

Instant Gratification

The fact that a potential buyer can generally make their purchase and have the product on their computer within minutes makes selling digital products big business on the Internet.

The most popular digital product would likely be the infamous ebook. People are also buying and selling web site templates, full web sites, music, art, audio courses and much more.

Selling Ebooks And Including Hyperlinks For Free

Being that a huge part of the digital goods market is ebooks, a lot of people like to start there when creating a product for sale on the Internet.

PDF or Portable Document Format is the standard when creating ebooks. Your authoring software must be capable of creating a PDF file. There is plenty of software available to create PDF’s and most of them are free.

In a lot of cases, when creating your ebook, you will want to add links to web sites within it. Most, if not all, of the free PDF creation software does not include the ability to export to PDF. There is a free way to get the PDF export capability built into authoring software at no charge.

OpenOffice.org provides an office suite of authoring applications for free. It is similar to Microsoft’s office suite, which includes Microsoft Word, Excel and so on, if that’s what you are familiar with. This free software will also allow you to open and edit documents created with Microsoft’s product. Another great feature of this software is the ability to export to PDF format and it will also allow you to include hyperlinks in your ebook, all for free.

Don’t Have A Product To Sell? Sell Someone Else’s

You can get started in this business easily by purchasing other people’s digital products, along with re-sell rights and by selling them to others. You then can add the products to a digital marketplace for free and the digital marketplace will automatically deliver the product to your customer after purchase, while your PayPal account gets filled with cash. An example of this would be to purchase the rights to an audio course for $5 that you can re-sell in the marketplace for as much as $37 over and over again.
