I’ve been working on a few digital product ideas, things like templates, checklists, and short guides, but I’m stuck on the question of where to sell them.
There are so many options now, Gumroad, Etsy, Shopify, Payhip, even your own website, and I can’t figure out which one’s best for beginners.
So I wanted to ask those who’ve already done it:
- Which platforms are giving you the best visibility and sales right now?
- Does Etsy still work for digital items, or has it become too competitive?
- Is Gumroad still good for small creators, or should we build our own site for better control?
- Do you rely only on the platform’s traffic, or do you promote your store through SEO, Pinterest, or social media?
I’d love to hear real experiences from people selling digital products in 2025, what’s working, what’s not, and which platforms are actually worth the time.
