r/DigitalProductSellers

I’m selling digital products (Canva templates) and getting good traffic from Pinterest, but I can’t receive payments because PayPal, Stripe, Wise, and Payoneer don’t work for me in Somalia.

Right now I’m using Payhip, but I still don’t have a proper way to actually receive customer payments.

What do people in similar situations usually do? Are there any alternative payment methods, platforms, or setups that actually work long-term for digital product sellers?

If anyone from Somalia or a similar situation sees this, I’d really appreciate your experience too.

Thank u .

Hey! I'd love to get feedback on the pricing of my offers. I feel for the value that they provide, they are well priced, but in the last few weeks have seen a drop in sales.
Any advice would be appreciated.

I want to start selling digital products, but I'm a complete beginner and don't really know where to start. Is there anyone who could explain the basics to me and point me in the right direction?

I'd like to learn about creating digital products, choosing what to sell, where to sell them, and any tips for beginners.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hey everyone,

I've been hearing a lot about Pinterest as a traffic and sales driver for digital products — things like Canva templates, eBooks, courses, printables, Notion dashboards, etc.

But I'm genuinely curious whether it actually works in practice, because most of what I see online is either vague "it worked for me!" claims or outdated tutorials from 2019.

A few things I'd love to hear your experience on:

What kind of digital product were you promoting?

Did you get real traffic or sales from Pinterest, or mostly just saves/impressions with no conversions?

How long did it take before you saw any traction? (I know SEO-style platforms take time)

Organic vs. paid — which worked better for you?

What mistakes did you make early on that you wish someone told you?

I'm specifically trying to figure out if Pinterest is worth investing consistent time into, or if the effort is better spent elsewhere (SEO, Instagram, TikTok, etc.).

Would really appreciate honest answers over success stories — the good, the bad, and the "I wasted 3 months on this" takes are all welcome. 😅

Thanks in advance!

I recently made a mortgage simulation for my own personal usage. I figured I might as well share it and set up a Etsy shop. I looked at what seemed to work SEO/ visual wise and gave a nice spin to it. I never expected it to be bestselling homerun but I feel similar and lesser products seem to do better. Any words of advice for me? :)

Got 15 visitors in a month, no sales

When I first started, I wanted feedback from anyone willing to give it.

Someone told me to change the product.

Someone else said the niche was too competitive.

Another said the pricing was wrong.

Another told me to just keep going.

At first, I tried to listen to everyone.

Looking back, I think that just created more confusion.

The comments that actually helped were almost always from people who had either:

• tried the product,
• were the type of person I built it for, or
• could explain why they wouldn't buy.

Everything else was just opinions based on someone else's experience.

I'm starting to think building a product isn't just about collecting feedback.

It's about learning whose feedback actually matters.

How do you decide which advice to act on and which advice to ignore?

Hi guys! I made my first digital product (a dog care PDF) and have a small following to launch to, but I’ve never sold anything before. Trying to pick the smoothest and cheapest setup.
• Gumroad, Payhip or Lemon Squeezy for a total beginner?
• Worth creating my own site or overkill?
• Which has the lowest fees/any hidden costs?
• Anything you wish you’d known before your first launch?

Just looking for some advice, not promoting anything. Thanks.🙏🏼

i'm currently trying everything i can right now, i've tried large affiliate networks, cold out reach and or dming and now i'm considering launching a clipping campaign (not 100% certain tho)

- how have you found affiliates who were willing to promote your digitals?

- where did you find them?

- do you currently still run an affiliate program?

even if you have a different marketing tactic please feel free to let me know in the comments below.

I already created my store months ago with all the ebooks I chose to sell but i have no idea how to reach people, especially those who really have the potential to turn into a customer and are in the buying mindset.

So, I've tried Facebook groups, Instagram page, and Pinterest yet nothing seemed to work, I'm looking forward to try something new and I figured out i should seek some advice from you.

let's say i used a sanrio character to a product, will the company sue me or have me to take down my product?

Hey Reddit,

I've been working on something for a while now and it's finally ready.

I built a complete AI automation tutorial — the kind of content people are genuinely searching for right now. It's practical, beginner-friendly, and teaches real skills that save people hours every single week. No fluff. No theory. Just step by step execution that actually works.

The product is 100% done. Structured. Tested. Ready to sell.

Here's where you come in.

I'm not looking to do this alone. I'm looking for one serious partner who knows how to market and sell digital products. Someone who understands audiences, knows how to create buzz, and isn't afraid to put in the work.

The deal is simple:
You sell it. I support it. We split everything 50/50 — automatically, transparently, no awkward money conversations.

No upfront investment from you. No risk. Just skills and commitment.

I've already set up the payment system so splits happen automatically — nobody has to trust nobody with money. A partnership contract is included so we're both protected from day one.

This isn't a commission gig. This is a real partnership between two people who each bring something to the table.

If you've got an audience, run ads, or just know how to sell — and you've been looking for a product to get behind — this might be exactly what you've been waiting for.

One spot. Serious inquiries only. Drop a comment or DM me.

If you've got an audience, know how to run ads, or are active in AI/tech communities — let's talk.

Drop a comment or DM me if you're interested.

Is it better to rely on apps/websites or is it wiser to just make a website and post on social media about your products?

I'm genuinely unsure about the route I should take. I haven't posted anything yet because I'm waiting until I have enough products to sell consistently for a few weeks.
