How to Sell Digital Downloads on WordPress (Step-by-Step)

How to Sell Digital Downloads on WordPress (Step-by-Step)

You’ve already done the hard part. You’ve made the thing.

Maybe it’s an ebook you spent four months researching and writing. Maybe it’s a Lightroom preset pack you stayed up until 3:00 AM fine-tuning, or a video course you finally found the courage to record. 

But setting up a digital storefront? That’s something else entirely. 

Many traditional eCommerce plugins are bloated with shipping settings, inventory counters, and warehouse logistics you don’t need as a digital creator. Meanwhile, simpler alternatives are often so bare-bones that you end up giving up and manually emailing files to customers, one by one.

I’ve sold many different digital products across multiple sites over the years, and I’ve tried just about every plugin you can use to sell digital items. Today, I’m going to walk you through the exact combination I keep coming back to.

By the end of this tutorial, you’ll have a beautiful, live online store that’s designed specifically for promoting, selling, and securely delivering digital files. 

Your digital download is ready to sell. Let’s get your store up and running in less than an hour.

7 Best Internal Linking Plugins for WordPress (Compared)

Best Internal Linking Plugins for Wordpress (Compared)

What if you made it impossible for search engines to miss your content while keeping readers on your pages twice as long – all with just a few clicks? 

Internal linking is the ultimate SEO shortcut. It’s the simplest way to connect the dots for search engines like Google, showing exactly how your content is related and which pages deserve the most attention.

But here’s the catch: adding and managing internal links gets more and more difficult as your site grows.

That’s where a good internal linking plugin becomes a game-changer. Instead of spending hours hunting through your archives, the right tool does it all for you: finding orphaned pages that have no links, suggesting relevant internal URLs as you write, and even updating your entire site in bulk. 

To help you find the best solution, I’ve spent the last few weeks testing all the top-rated internal linking plugins. Below are the handful of plugins that I recommend, ranked by how well they handle the real-world tasks small business owners and bloggers face.

9 Best WordPress Conversion Tools (Skyrocket Sales & Signups)

Best WordPress Conversion Tools (Skyrocket Sales & Signups)

Let’s be honest: seeing your traffic numbers climb is exciting. But if those visitors leave without subscribing or buying, that traffic is just a vanity metric.

The real secret to a successful WordPress site isn’t just getting more visitors – it’s getting more value from the visitors you already have.

I’ve spent years teaching WordPress, and I’ve learned that the right conversion tool often drives more revenue than a massive SEO campaign. At WP101, we rely on optimization plugins like OptinMonster to capture leads and MonsterInsights to see exactly what’s working, and we’ve seen amazing results.

For this guide, I did the heavy lifting for you. I personally tested dozens of conversion optimization plugins to separate the hype from the helpers. Whether you need to grow your email list, boost sales, or simply understand your audience better, these are the tools that’ll help you stop losing leads, and start seeing real growth.
