What are E-goods?

e-books, e-photo collections, e-music, e-clip art, e-sounds, cartoons/art/illustrations, database products/software, etc.

The 7 Steps to SELLING E-goods?

1) Develop your own site in the niche that you know and love.

2) Fill that site with high-value content.

3) Use that content to attract your own niche-targeted traffic.

4) Build a following through your own e-zine.

5) Use your e-zine and site content to PREsell your targeted visitors. And finally...

6) Convert that PREsold, warm, willing-to-buy traffic into sales of your e-product.

7) Diversify your revenue plan to include other models (ex., AdSense, affiliate income, services, etc.), all related to your theme.

Looking to Sell E-GOODS With SBI?

Services that process the sale of e-goods generally fall into one of two categories... 

1. They simply process the credit card transaction, and leave you to fulfill the product (i.e., you have to upload the e-good and provide your customers with a way to access it. This can be easily accomplished with SBI!'s HTML Editor Compatibility module). 

 2. They process the credit card transaction, as well as fulfilling the order through some sort of digital delivery system (i.e., you upload your e-good to their servers, and they deliver it securely to your customer after the transaction has been completed).

Therefore we've presented the services BELOW on the basis of their functionality. If you want total and complete automation of the sales process, choose a service that processes credit cards and delivers your e-good via a digital delivery system. If you are comfortable with fulfilling your own products, save yourself a few bucks, and stick with pure credit card processing.
