One increasingly popular and simple way to earn money online is by selling downloadable items. A digital good is simply a product that can be downloaded from the Internet or from an email attachment.

Instant Gratification

What makes selling digital goods very big business on the Internet is the fact that a person can often have their product within minutes or even seconds after purchase.

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. But there is a free way to do this.

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. In fact, you can use the free software to open and edit files created with MS Office. 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.

You Can Sell Other People’s Stuff

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. A perfect example of this is an audio course that I purchased for $5 and resold over and over again for $37 in the digital marketplace.
