Sell digital products direct.
Keep every dollar.
Any file — PDFs, videos, audio, ZIPs, templates, presets, code — sold from your own storefront with instant delivery. own customer list, no marketplace cut. The direct path from creator to buyer.
Digital product marketplaces make their margin off your work.
You built the template, wrote the guide, produced the video, designed the pack. The marketplace slapped it on their catalog and took 5-30% every time it sold. Worse — the buyer's email went to their database, not yours. When you launch product #2, you're back at square one, paying the same commission again. Direct means the customer relationship is yours from click one.
What direct selling actually saves you.
Same volume. Same product. Different platform economics. Here's what direct saves at each stage.
