Myth: Digital Products Can’t Be Sold on Popular E-Commerce Platforms

Many people believe that digital products can’t be sold on major e-commerce platforms like Amazon or eBay.

While it’s true that platforms like Amazon and eBay are primarily known for selling physical products, there is still a significant market for digital products on these platforms. For instance, Amazon allows authors to sell e-books through its Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) platform, and software developers can sell digital tools through the Amazon Appstore. On platforms like Etsy, creators can sell printables, digital art, and other downloadable content. There are also dedicated marketplaces for digital products, such as Gumroad and Sellfy, where creators can easily upload and sell their products. Selling on these platforms can help you reach a larger audience and automate the selling process. The key to success is understanding the platform’s rules and optimizing your digital products for each marketplace. By utilizing multiple platforms, you can maximize your reach and sales potential.
