While much of our lives have been digitized, diaries and planners are still one thing where many people prefer the analog version. For the most part, digital diaries and planners just don’t have the same charm as their physical counterparts. 

Life is Mess and Brilliant bridges this gap by offering various assets and templates to customize your planner. This gives you all the benefits of a digital planner or diary, while still letting you personalize it the way you like. 

Selling Your Own Digital Products on Shopify

If you have your own digital products to sell, there’s a few things to consider. 

Even though digital goods like music, photos, etc. don’t need to be shipped, you still need a way to get them to your customers. 

While you might be attempted to just email them after someone has paid, this is not scalable and doesn’t inspire confidence in your customers. Especially when people expect to be able to start downloading their purchases straight away. 

Thankfully there’s plenty of Shopify apps that make automatically delivering your digital goods easy.  These apps allow you to prevent abuse of your digital goods with features like limited downloads and license keys in addition to offering digital delivery. 

One of the most popular digital downloads apps is Sky Pilot. The app has a 4.9 average rating on the Shopify app store and also offers a free plan. 

SendOwl is another popular general purpose delivery app in the Shopify app store for digital goods. If you’re looking for a digital downloads app specific for selling music, Single Music is another great app to check out. 

Shopify also has their own app for managing digital downloads. In addition to being built by Shopify themselves, the app is also a great option as it’s completely free. 

If Shopify isn’t for you, there are plenty of other platforms where you can start selling digital goods. Such as the TemplateMonster Marketplace where you can sell Shopify themes. 

The advantage of these kinds of sites over Shopify is that there are already many customers on them, so you don’t have to do all the hard work of marketing and attracting customers to your store.
