Depending on the nature of your community, your software can get better reception if it corresponds to your site’s theme. For example, sites that revolve around digital art will definitely benefit from products that feature visual artwork, such as photography, digital drawings and even animated content. Show off your talent and make money!
Are you perhaps a programmer and want to monetize your geeky brilliance? We feel you. A community created for techies and people who are interested in software can be perfect for this type of monetization.
How about profiting from your writings? Depending on your topic/genre, you can have a corresponding community for your readers, and you can sell them your work in the form of ebooks.
Are you a musician? Create a community of fans around your store and provide everything for them in one place. A dedicated fandom is incredibly important for audio artists, and having both a community and store in one place is the way to go.
Your downloads can have the visual representation of your choosing, most commonly in the form of a featured image and description. Your files are prepared in the WordPress editor, so you can insert more images, documentation, and even videos. You can even outline Download Instructions in the special block available in the editor. Make the most of the highly customizable options in the Download section of EDD for the best possible impact on your audience.
For better visibility, you can assign categories and tags to different digital products. You can also turn your featured products into widgets and show them off within your community, aside from having the designated menu for your store in site navigation.
