How do I set up a Done-For-You Resource for selling?
3 min read
To set up a Done-For-You Resource for selling, you’ll need a way to sell digital products.
- A sales page (landing page) where you promote the resource, list what’s included, the price, and a Buy Now button. We include a pre-written sales page with every Done-For-You Resource so you can use this as-is or use it as a base to create your own landing page.
- A way to collect payment.
- A way to email the resource automatically to your customer after purchase.
Once this is all set up, you’ll have a completely automated process, allowing you to simply focus on promoting your resource and making sales. Yes, that’s right – you’ll even be able to make money while you sleep!
Below are some suggestions for how you can set up your Done-For-You Resource ready for selling. Note: We do not provide support for the tools listed below so if you do need help along the way, please contact the support team of the tool you need help with.
Your Website #
If you have a website where you have control over creating pages (such as Weebly, Wix, or WordPress), you could create a page on your website and use this as your landing page to sell the resource.
Weebly and Wix both allow you to sell digital products (click the links to learn how). If you have a WordPress website, see below.
WordPress Plugin #
