Money through blogging

One increasingly popular and simple way to earn money online is by selling digital products. 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. In addition to eBooks, people are also buying and selling products such as music, art, audio courses and much more.




Selling Ebooks And Including Hyperlinks For Free

A lot of people like to start by creating ebooks when getting into the digital good business, being that they are a huge part of the digital good marketplace.

PDF or Portable Document Format is the standard when creating ebooks. Your authoring software must be capable of creating a PDF file. The good news is that most of the software that enhances your authoring tool, giving it the ability to export to PDF, is free.

A lot of times in your ebook product you will want to include hyperlinks; or links to yours or other web sites. 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.

Selling Other People's Products

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. And to resell the product, you don't even need a web site, you can offer your products up for sale on a digital marketplace for free, and have your products auto-delivered to the customer on your behalf. A perfect example of this is an audio course that I purchased for and resold over and over again for in the digital marketplace.
