Re: How to sell downloads?
BTW
To update my experiences with this, I looked into several outfits like Payloadz. Nice to just turn it over to them and get checks, but I just can't see paying for this service. They require that your documents be stored on their site, then charge a progressive rate for how much stuff you store to download. Seems pointless.
I tried a couple of onsite shopping carts and was boggled by the learning curve: they all have the whistles and bells necessary for running a huge catalog operation.
I finally decided just to use PayPal buttons. (Duh)
One risk: if I'm checking my mail every 48 hours, I delay fulfillment, which is not good.
I'm looking into something a little more automated: I will be starting out slow with one product, and have a hard time imagining selling more than a dozen items.
You never know, though.
One thing I seem to keep forgetting about tech/internet stuff: you can almost always keep it simple.
