Sell a PDF

So you’ve written a book or a document that you published, you sold on Amazon…now what?

Let’s use my 90 day journals for example. These journals are available on Amazon: 90 Days of Planting Seeds, a Journal for Small Business Owners, The 90 Day Journal for Small Business Owners and 90 Days of Planting Seeds, a Journal for Online teachers. This is an easy way to create reoccurring income in a semi-passive way. I promote it while on Clubhouse or other audio aps and when I am posting on Facebook for example. I also use it to make fun posts on Tik Tok while promoting it at the same time. Have a look at this video to see exactly what I mean.

I also sell a PDF version of this journal. This way, people can print their own copy and put it in a binder. Now the PDF does not come with the colored cover, but it does have all 180 pages! That’s 90 days worth of content! People might prefer the PDF. Here are a few ways I sell PDF versions of my journal! First of all, I can add a plug in directly into this blog and sell it right here, like such! I get a notification that someone has purchased and I can send them their copy in an email: easy peasy. Although I have to do a bit of the work by sending the email, this only takes a couple of minutes of my time.

The other way I sell my PDF copies is through a site called “Teachers Pay Teachers”. In this case, I am only selling the Online Teacher version of this journal because it relates directly to teachers. Here is a link to my product on my Online Store. Teachers Pay Teachers keeps a percentage of the sales, but I don’t have to do a thing. Once my product is listed in my store, I can sit back and collect royalties.

Another way I sell my PDF version of my journals is with a Google Form. Creating a Google form is a fantastic way to give information while keeping track of people’s choices and orders. The best part about a Google form is that you can collect this information and with a click of a button, all of it is put into a google form with everyone’s answers in the right column! What a great feature! It is also very practical to pin to the top of a room in a Clubhouse room or simply share in an email. This is my form for people who would like to order a PDF version of my journal. Just click here to access the Google form.

The newest site where I sell my PDF’s and other digital assets is on a site called Payhip. If you visit my store on Payhip, you’ll see these same journals! What I love about Payhip is that they only keep 5% of the total amount and it costs nothing to join. So when I sell a $10 journal, it only costs me 50 cents. That is much more profitable than if I sell the hard copy on Amazon. Although some people might want a hard copy and I appreciate that I don’t need to hold inventory in my house, having the possibility to print your own by purchasing a PDF can be an option many people might enjoy! If you would like to sell on Payhip, here is my referral link! I would appreciate your support!

Where else could I sell this PDF? If you have any other ideas of free platforms where I could sell a PDF, please let me know in the comments! Thanks!
