Selling digital downloads
Guides, e-books, spreadsheets, exclusive content
With Onliweb, you can easily create and sell digital downloads like eBooks, templates, guides, or any other downloadable content. Here's a step-by-step guide to set it up:
Create a New "Digital Download" Block
Go to your Onliweb account.
Click "Add Block" and select "Download" from the list of options.
Add a Title, Description, and Preview Images
Enter a compelling title for your product (e.g., "Social Media Strategy Template").
Write a description that highlights the value of your download. Include details about what it contains and how it benefits the buyer.
Example: "This editable Canva template includes 30 content ideas, a monthly calendar, and tips to optimize your social media strategy."
Upload preview images to showcase your product, like cover designs, screenshots, or sample pages.
Set the Price
Decide on a fixed price for your digital product, or offer it for free to build engagement or promote your brand.
Example:
"$25 for a Customizable Budget Tracker"
"Free 10-page Guide: How to Start a Side Hustle"
Upload Your Digital File
Upload the file you want to sell. Supported formats include PDFs, ZIP files, images, videos, and more.
Ensure the file is named appropriately and compressed if necessary to reduce size.
Select the Configurations of Your Block
On the review screen, choose the style of your block:
Minimal: A clean and professional design.
With Call-to-Action (CTA): Includes a button to encourage bookings.
Set Visibility Options:
Public visibility is great for widespread promotions.
A private link is ideal for exclusive clients or tailored sessions.
Select if require approval:
Enable if you would like to approve the request before it's confirmed. With approval enabled, you will have an option to accept or reject a request.
Keep it disabled for requests to be auto approved.
Connect Your Payout Method
If you haven't already, you'll be prompted to link your Stripe account to receive payments securely. This step is necessary for monetizing your digital downloads.
Share and Promote Your Digital Product
Once published, share your product using your Onliweb page or a direct link. Use your social media, email campaigns, or other marketing channels to promote your digital download and boost sales.
