Wondering how to sell a PDF with ConvertKit?
In this ConvertKit tutorial for beginners, you'll learn how to make money online
and how to sell digital products online with the ConvertKit products feature.
So let's get right into this ConvertKit review on how to sell a product with ConvertKit.
First off, if you don't have a ConvertKit account yet,
just click on the link in the description box below to sign up for free.
Once you've logged into your ConvertKit account, click on 'products' from the menu up top.
If you've already created ConvertKit products, those will appear here. You can sort your
ConvertKit Products alphabetically, by newest, oldest, purchases or price. You can also toggle
whether you wish to view your ConvertKit products as blocks or as a list. The best part is that you
can sell digital products and subscriptions with ConvertKit products even on their free plan.
To create a new ConvertKit product, click on the '+ new product' button on the top,
right-hand side. Add in your ConvertKit product details, including your product name,
pricing method, which can either be standard, where customers pay a one-time fee, and you can
enter what that price is, subscription, where customers are charged on a recurring basis,
and you can enter what that price is, and its frequency, either monthly, quarterly or yearly,
and add another pricing plan if you so wish, or pay what you want, where customers choose a price,
and you can enter the minimum price. You can always change these later.
Since we plan on selling a PDF with ConvertKit, let's fill out this product details section with
regard to that. For our ConvertKit product name let's write PDF, for pricing method
let's select standard, and for price let's add $27. Once you're done filling out
the product details for your ConvertKit product, click on 'next' to access the fulfillment section.
Under this fulfillment section, select what kind of product you'll be selling using ConvertKit
products. This can be a digital download, such as a digital product or ebook,
a newsletter for members only, or something else, such as coaching or services.
Since we're selling a PDF with ConvertKit,
let's select 'digital download', and click on the 'upload a file' box to locate and open the
PDF from our documents to sell with ConvertKit products. If you made a mistake and selected the
wrong document, click on the trash can next to the uploaded document and then upload a new one.
After your PDF has uploaded, click on 'next' at the bottom to access the domain name section.
I only have one custom domain added to my ConvertKit account,
so that's what the custom domain will be. However, feel free to customize the
ConvertKit product page URL to whatever you wish, and then click on 'create product' at the bottom.
Once your ConvertKit product has been created, it's time to customize the different pages,
including the sales page, checkout page, confirmation and receipt email.
You can edit the sales pages general styles, including the headings, body, background, card
color, card corners, input label, input color, input background, input border, and help text,
as well as click on any of the page elements, including the image, price, title, content,
and purchase button to edit the individual styles of each. You can also replace the blank image to
an image of the actual PDF you're selling, as well as any piece of text to whatever you wish.
To edit the other pages and emails of your ConvertKit product,
just click on them from the menu up top, such as the checkout page. Just as before,
you can edit the checkout page's general styles, as well as click on any of the page elements
to edit the individual styles of each. The same goes for the confirmation and receipt emails.
You can click on 'settings' from the top, right-hand side
to edit your ConvertKit product settings, including the product details,
including the name and price, though you're unable to change the pricing method, but if
you’d like to change how you sell this product or service, you can always create a new product,
fulfillment, where you can change the type of ConvertKit product you're selling,
discount codes, where you can add a discount code, including the code to be used, discount amount
or percentage, and limit, as well as the domain name.
Once you're happy with the ConvertKit product you created, and are ready to sell a PDF with
ConvertKit, click on 'save' and then on 'publish' on the top, right-hand side to
make your ConvertKit product active. ConvertKit will provide you both with a share link which
will link directly to your product by sharing this url on social media or in your website and emails,
in addition to an embed code which allows you to embed your product onto your site with one line
of JavaScript. Simply place this code where you want the button to display on your site.
If you created a discount code, you can also toggle this button to include the discount
code in your sales page once you share the link or embed the code. To make changes to your ConvertKit
product after it has been published, click on 'products' from the menu up top in your ConvertKit
account, and then click on the three little dots next the the PDF you're selling with ConvertKit.
You can either click to edit it, and be redirected to the page where you can edit
your ConvertKit product's sales page, checkout page, confirmation, receipt email and settings,
or click to delete it. A popup will appear asking if you're sure you want to delete this product.
This will cause broken links if you've shared or embedded the product anywhere.
To return without making changes, click on 'cancel'. If you're sure you want to delete
this ConvertKit product, click on 'delete product'.
