Someone had sent in an email about what shopping cart I use. I found a WordPress Plugin called estore that stops people from sharing the download link. The customer never receives the actual link to the file (its encrypted). You can use it create packages, it accepts coupons for paypal, and if you need to give special instructions to your customers. If you are using amazon S3 to host your files it works with that. They make adding a shopping cart SO EASY by adding snippets of code to your website. You don’t need to have a reference guide to remember the codes, you click on a box and select what type of button you are adding (subscription, buy now, add to cart) It’s very, very easy. Best of all (as we all know scripts don’t always do what they are supposed to do) there is great support, and a big community. Best of all there is a one time fee of $49 and there is nobody else involved with the sale of your digital goods, just you and paypal (no monthly fees).
Dave has cracked the door of marketingmusican.com and he created a video for youtube to help explain why YOU should be managing your website (and the fact that you can do it for around $10 a month).
