00:00In today's fast-paced digital age, there's one thing that we all desire, passive income.
00:05And guess what?
00:06The easiest way to achieve it is by creating an e-commerce website to sell digital products
00:10such as e-books, pdfs, online courses, etc.
00:13Whether you're an entrepreneur or just starting out, selling digital products has numerous
00:18advantages over physical ones.
00:20First, creating a digital product website is very easy and there's no need for any technical
00:25skills.
00:26Second, the cost is remarkably low since there's no need to invest in materials or inventory.
00:30That's not all, with digital product websites, you can easily reach a wider audience and
00:35customers can directly download the products from your site and enjoy instant delivery
00:39without shipping or waiting times.
00:41The best part?
00:42There's no limit for the number of products that you can sell.
00:45You're basically selling the same product again and again and earning a profit.
00:49So if you're ready to tap into the immense potential of e-commerce for digital products,
00:53stay tuned because in this video, I'll guide you through the entire process step by step.
00:58I'm Bryan from Upstake Learners and let's get started.
01:05To make a digital product website, we're going to do 4 parts.
01:08The first part is to launch your website.
01:10So this is where you get a new website live on the internet.
01:13So to launch your website, we're going to use a platform called MakeAWP.
01:16So go ahead and just click the link below this video, then scroll down and here you'll
01:23find the digital product website.
01:24Now to see how it looks, just click demo.
01:28And here you can see the complete digital product website that we are going to launch.
01:33So this will be our homepage.
01:35And you can see we have a search bar where visitors can search for any product they want.
01:39And if you scroll down, you can see the list of newly added products.
01:44Now if you see here, we have an all products page where you can find all the products.
01:52To view any product, just click view details.
01:58And here the visitors can see the details of the product and purchase it from here.
02:03Okay, so to get this website, just click launch site, then enter your details, click next,
02:18then fill up these details, scroll down, and then here, enter your payment details
02:31and click sign up now.
02:34And now we have successfully purchased the website.
02:36To launch the site, just scroll down, click launch new site, and it'll take you to this
02:43page.
02:44Now here, enter the website address that you want.
02:48I'm going to enter musicstrom.
02:50Once you have entered the URL, you can see that our digital products website has already
02:55been selected.
02:58So let's click launch new website.
03:02And your website will be launched.
03:04Now if you click visit, you can see that we have successfully launched our website.
03:11Okay, this is just a temporary link for your site.
03:15You can easily change this to your own dot com domain.
03:17We'll see how you can do that later in this video.
03:20Okay, so once you've launched your site, we can now go to the second part of this video,
03:24where we will see how you can add digital products to your website.
03:28Now if we go to our site, then go to all products, you can see that we have a sample products
03:35here.
03:36Now instead of these sample products, how do you add your own products?
03:40To add your own products, we are going to do three steps.
03:43The first step is to log into the admin area of our website.
03:47So to log in, all you have to do is just go back to make it WP and click admin.
03:56As you can see, we're logged into WordPress.
03:59This is the place where you can control your entire website.
04:02Okay, once you've logged in, next, let's go to the second step, which is to delete the
04:07sample products.
04:09So to delete them, go to products.
04:13And here you can see all the sample products that we have on our site.
04:16So to delete them, just click here to select all, then click here and select boot to trash.
04:26If you click apply, you can see that we have deleted all the sample products.
04:34Now if you go back to your site and click refresh, you can see our product page is empty.
04:43So this means you can now add your own product.
04:47Once you have deleted all the sample products, let's go to the final step, which is to add
04:51your products.
04:52So to add your own products, just go back to this tab, click add new.
05:01Then here you can add your products.
05:04The products that you add will be downloadable.
05:06So you can add any digital product you want, like an ebook, audio file or anything.
05:11I'm going to add a music file.
05:13So just enter the name of the song here and add a description.
05:20Now if you don't have any idea of what description to add, you can easily get it from a tool
05:24called gravity write.
05:25So just click the link below this video, then click on start writing for free.
05:32And here create your account on gravity write.
05:39Then you will go to the gravity write dashboard.
05:41Now go to ecommerce, then click on product description.
05:48Then enter exactly what you want to have in the description.
05:51Since I'm going to add a music file, I'm going to enter the music name, its genre, etc.
05:57Once you have done that, click on create content.
06:03And you can see how quickly we have got the description.
06:07You can go through the content and you can choose the one you like.
06:10So I'm going to choose this one.
06:12So let's copy it.
06:17Then go back to our dashboard and paste it here.
06:24Okay.
06:27So now we have added the title and description.
06:29Next let's enter the price of the product here.
06:34Then click here and select the format of your product.
06:39Since my product is a music file, let's select audio.
06:45Now scroll down and enter the product file name here.
06:50I'm going to enter VR1.
06:53Then click here and drag and drop your audio file.
07:00Click set.
07:03And the file link will be added.
07:05Now if you want to add a preview of the music, just click upload file.
07:11Then drag and drop your audio here and click set file.
07:16Then enter your audio format here.
07:18I'm going to enter MP3.
07:21Then you can add the other details about your product.
07:24Okay.
07:25Once you've entered all the details, next let's add an image for this audio product.
07:30Just click here.
07:34Then drag and drop the image from your computer and click on set download image.
07:41As you can see, the image has been added.
07:44Once you're done, scroll up and click publish.
07:48Now if we go back to our site and click refresh.
07:58You can see that we have got the product that we just added.
08:02In the same way, you can add multiple products to your website.
08:05Okay.
08:06Now if we click on it, you can see the details of the product.
08:11And if we click play, you can hear the preview of this music.
08:26Next let's try to order this product.
08:27So let's click purchase.
08:30Now if we scroll down, you can see that to allow customers to make payments and purchase
08:34the product on your site, we need to set up a payment gateway.
08:37So next let's see how to set up a payment gateway on your website.
08:41Once you set up a payment method, you will be able to receive payments directly to your
08:45bank account.
08:46So we're going to use Stripe as the payment method.
08:48To set up Stripe, first we need to select Stripe as the payment gateway.
08:52And to do that, let's go to our dashboard, then go to products, click settings.
09:01Now go to payment tab, select Stripe, click this dropdown and set Stripe as the default
09:13payment gateway.
09:15Then select the payment method icons you want on your website.
09:18I'm going to choose these and click save changes.
09:27Once you're done, next we need to connect our website with Stripe.
09:32To do that, let's click connect with Stripe and here it will take you to this page.
09:38Now here enter your email id, then click continue, enter a password and click login.
09:52Then enter your phone number, click send and enter a code which you have received on your

10:03And you will get this page.
10:04Okay.
10:05Now to get started, choose your business location and business type.
10:12Then click continue.
10:16Now here fill in your personal details.
10:21Once you're done, again click continue.
10:26Now here you need to select from where you want to receive the payment.
10:29So let's select website, then enter your website's URL and add a description.
10:41Then click continue.
10:44Next let's add the bank details where you want to receive your payment.
10:47So let's click here, enter your bank account details, click save and click continue.
11:02Now here we need to enter this information.
11:04So let's click edit, then click this dropdown and choose your industry type.
11:19Once you have done that, click save, then scroll down and click submit.
11:27Then it'll take you back to your WordPress dashboard.
11:30Now click sale changes and done.
11:34So now we have successfully connected the Stripe account with our website.
11:38Now if we go back to our site and click refresh, you can see that the payment method has been
11:48added.
11:49So let's continue to purchase this product.
11:51So let's fill in these details and click purchase.
12:01And you can see that we have successfully purchased the product and you can download
12:05the file by clicking here.
12:08Okay, once the customer purchases the product from our site, if we go to our inbox, you
12:15can see that we have received an email.
12:18Now if we open it, you can see the payment details of the order.
12:25The customer will also receive an email with the details of the order.
12:32Okay, so this is how your customer can order a product from your website.
12:36Next let's go to the third part of this video, which is to edit the content of your website.
12:41So let's say you want to edit the homepage.
12:43So just click edit with elementor and it'll take you to this editing section where you
12:49can edit any part of this page.
12:51If you want to change the heading content of this website, just select it, then enter
12:55your own text.
12:57But if you're unsure about what to add and want to add a catchy headline, you can easily
13:01get it from gravity right.
13:02So let's go there, then go to website content, click on create homepage and enter these details.
13:11Next let's enter the name of our product, then enter a short description about the product.
13:16Finally enter a few lines about who your ideal customer is and click on create content.
13:27As you can see, we have got the content.
13:29So let's copy this heading, go back to our homepage and paste it here.
13:37In the same way, we can change the remaining content.
13:40Now if you want to change the background image for this section, just go to the section and

14:04you want to add them, then go here and click the plus icon.
14:10Now select a structure to display the products.
14:12I'm going to choose this one.
14:15Now click here, search for meiosis featured grid and drag and drop this element here.
14:24Now give a title for this section.
14:27I'm going to give featured products.
14:30You can now add the number of featured products you want to display here.
14:33I'm going to choose three and as you can see, our featured products have been added
14:38here.
14:39Just click update to save the changes.
14:43And now if we go back to our site and click refresh, you can see that all our changes
14:48have been applied.
14:49Okay, so now we have changed the background image, the content and added a few featured
14:53products.
14:54Next, let's see how we can change this logo.
14:56To change it, click customize, go to header and click logo.
15:04Now here we can change our logo.
15:07So just click remove, then click on select image, drag and drop your logo here.
15:16Click select.
15:19And as you can see, the logo has been added.
15:22So if you scroll down, you can see the sticky header logo is the same as the default logo.
15:28So let's change it to our logo.
15:30Like we did before, just click remove and click select image.
15:37Then drag and drop your logo here.
15:41Click select.
15:45And the sticky header logo will be added.
15:46Once you're done, click publish.
15:51And now if we go back to our site and click refresh, you can see that both our logo and
15:59the sticky header logo have been changed.
16:01Okay, so now we have successfully edited the content of our website.
16:04Now here you can see that our website address ends with makeitwp.com.
16:08Now instead of this, you definitely want your website to have a simple address like yoursitename.com
16:14because it looks more professional.
16:16You can do that by getting your own domain name for your website.
16:19So next, let's go to the final part of the video, where we see how you can get your own
16:24domain name.
16:25If you need any help finding the perfect domain name for your website, you can find one from
16:29gravity right.
16:30So let's go there.
16:31Then go to idea generation and click domain name ideas.
16:37Now describe in a few lines about your website.
16:42Then enter .com as an extension for the site.
16:45And if you click create content, you can see we have got 100 unique domain names for
16:51our website.
16:53Once you've got the domain names, next we will check whether these domain names are
16:56available or not.
16:58To check them, let's click here to copy all these domain names.
17:07Then go to the video you're watching right now.
17:11Then click the link below this video and it'll take you to webspace kit.
17:16Now let's paste the domain names here and click check.
17:24And you can see the available domain names here.
17:25So just take a look and select the one you want.
17:28I'm going to choose this one.
17:30So let's click buy now and click on select and continue.
17:37Now here you can see that we're getting this domain for one year.
17:41And after one year, you can renew the domain to keep using it.
17:44So scroll down, enter your details here, then enter your payment details.
17:55Click on this checkbox and click order now.
18:01And you can see that we have successfully made our payment.
18:04Now if we click here, you can see we have got our domain.
18:10Okay.
18:11So once you've got your domain, let's see how you can connect this domain to your website.
18:14So to connect it, we are going to do two steps.
18:17The first step is to add this domain to your website.
18:20So to add a domain to your website, let's go to make it wb.com, go to domains.
18:28And here you need to enter the domain name, which you have purchased.
18:34And once you're done, let's go to the final step, which is to add this IP address to your
18:38domain.
18:39To do that, let's go to this tab, click on domains.
18:46Now select the domain, which you purchased and click manage DNS.
18:52Then click here.
18:56Next to the A record, we need to add the IP address, which is shown here.
18:59So let's remove this, then go to this page, copy this IP address, then come back to webspace
19:11kit, paste it here and click save changes.
19:21Okay.
19:22Once you're done, go back to make it wb.com and click connect domain.
19:32And you can see that we've successfully connected our new domain name to our website.
19:36So let's check it.
19:38If you open a new tab and type in a domain name and press enter, you can see that we've
19:46got a digital products website, which we just created.
19:49And if we scroll down, you can see the products, which we added to our website.
19:54Okay.
19:55So this is how you can get your own domain name for your website.
19:58And your visitors can just go to your domain name to access your website.
20:01Okay.
20:02So now we have completed making a digital product website.
20:04Now you can use this website without updating the theme for as long as you want.

20:31So just enter your details, then click here, enter your payment details
20:47and click pay.
20:50As you can see, we have successfully purchased the theme.
20:53Once you've got your theme, how will you know that you have got an update?
20:56To see the latest updates for your theme, you need to install a plugin called Envato

21:35As you can see, the plugin is now active on our site.
21:38So once you've installed the plugin, let's check if any updates are there.
21:41So to check for the updates, just click Envato market and it'll take you to this page.
21:49Now here it'll ask you to enter the token to get the updates for your theme.
