How to Sell Your Digital Resources Without KDP or a Website

Here’s how I stopped losing money by asking customers to direct message me to complete a sale

If you’re like me, you probably read a lot about ways to create passive income. And each read makes me feel hopeful. Encouraged. Delighted. And don’t get me wrong, I had questions many articles don’t answer.

I am interested in writing eBooks. And no one was talking about how to sell these books outside of Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing, other online publishing houses, or a personal website.

Some articles emphasize the need for social media presence to get ahead. Even the unavoidability of being social like Victoria Travieso’s Should Authors Be Forced To Build a Social Media Presence?. But, without a website asking for the sale is still very hard. Asking people to direct message you to arrange money transfers seems unprofessional. And it makes spending with you harder when you’re competing with people who get sales in a few clicks.

Even brands that have good check-out carts have partnered with buy now, pay later apps. The latest company to play in this arena is Apple. The company is working on adding a buy-now-pay-later feature to Apple Pay.

How can we as small creators compete? Where can you sell as an independent with more favorable transaction fees? If you’ve asked yourself these questions, keep reading for 6 websites that will improve your buyer’s experience.
