How to Sell Digital Products from Your Link in Bio

A step-by-step guide to turning your audience into customers by selling digital products directly from your bio page -no separate storefront needed.

Digital products are the fastest-growing revenue stream for creators. Unlike physical goods, they cost nothing to produce after the initial creation, require no shipping, and can be sold to unlimited buyers. And with AstroLink’s built-in creator store, you can sell them directly from the same page your audience already visits -your link in bio.

This guide covers everything you need to know: what to sell, how to set up your store, pricing strategies, and tips for growing your digital product sales.

What Are Digital Products and Why Sell Them?

Digital products are files, content, or resources delivered electronically -no physical inventory, no shipping, no production limits. Once you create a digital product, you can sell it infinitely with zero marginal cost.

Why Digital Products Work for Creators

High profit margins: After the initial time investment of creation, every sale is nearly pure profit. There’s no manufacturing cost, no warehouse, and no packaging.

Passive income potential: Unlike services or coaching, digital products sell while you sleep. A well-positioned product linked from your bio page generates revenue 24/7.

Scalability: Selling to 10 people costs the same as selling to 10,000. Your costs don’t increase with volume, so every additional sale adds directly to your bottom line.

Audience monetisation: Your followers already trust your expertise. Digital products let you package that expertise into something they can buy and use immediately.

Types of Digital Products You Can Sell

Online Courses and Tutorials

Video lessons, screen recordings, and structured educational content. Courses command higher prices because they promise a transformation -taking the buyer from where they are to where they want to be.

Examples: Photography masterclass, coding bootcamp, fitness programme, cooking tutorials, music production course.

Typical price range: £20–£200+

Ebooks and Guides

Written content in PDF format. These are relatively quick to create and position you as an authority in your niche.

Examples: Nutrition guide, social media strategy playbook, travel planning guide, business startup checklist, investment fundamentals.

Typical price range: £5–£30

Templates

Ready-made frameworks that save buyers time. Templates are consistently popular because they solve an immediate problem.

Examples: Notion workspace templates, Canva social media templates, Figma UI kits, budget spreadsheets, content calendars, resume templates.

Typical price range: £5–£50

Presets and Filters

Visual processing tools for photo and video editors. These sell well to audiences who follow you for your visual style.

Examples: Lightroom presets, Photoshop actions, LUTs for video editing, Instagram filter packs, colour grading profiles.

Typical price range: £10–£40

Music and Audio

Sound files, beats, and audio content. The music creator community has a strong digital product culture.

Examples: Sample packs, beat kits, sound effects, meditation audio, podcast intros, royalty-free music.

Typical price range: £10–£50

Digital Art and Graphics

Visual assets for personal or commercial use.

Examples: Illustrations, wallpaper packs, icon sets, fonts, logo templates, social media graphics, sticker packs.

Typical price range: £5–£30

How AstroLink’s Creator Store Works

AstroLink’s built-in store lets you sell digital products directly from your bio page. Here’s the step-by-step process.

Step 1: Upgrade to Pro

The creator store is available on the AstroLink Pro plan at £5/month or £49/year. This also includes unlimited links, embedded video, background images, theme marketplace access, profile messaging, and branding removal.

Step 2: Apply for Store Access

Once you’re on the Pro plan, apply for store access. We verify accounts to keep the marketplace safe and trustworthy for buyers.

Step 3: Connect Stripe

Link your Stripe account (or create a new one) to receive payments. Stripe Connect supports GBP, USD, and EUR, so you can sell to an international audience.

Step 4: Upload Your Products

Add your digital files (up to 100MB per product), write product descriptions, set your price, and optionally add custom checkout fields. Your products appear directly on your bio page alongside your links.

Step 5: Customise the Experience

Add custom checkout fields if needed -Discord usernames, email addresses, shipping information for physical bonuses, or any data relevant to your product. Set up webhooks to automate order processing, community access, or follow-up emails.

Step 6: Start Selling

Share your AstroLink URL across Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Twitter, and email. When buyers purchase, they receive branded email receipts and secure download links (5 downloads per file, 7-day expiry). You get instant order notifications and can track everything from your seller dashboard.

Pricing Your Digital Products

Pricing is one of the most common challenges for new sellers. Here are practical strategies.

Cost-Based Pricing

Calculate the time you spent creating the product, multiply by your hourly rate, then divide by the number of sales you expect in the first year. This gives you a minimum viable price.

Example: If you spent 20 hours creating a course and value your time at £25/hour, that’s £500 in creation cost. If you expect 50 sales in the first year, your minimum price is £10 per sale.

Value-Based Pricing

Price based on the value your product delivers to the buyer, not the cost to create it. A template that saves someone 10 hours of work is worth more than the 2 hours you spent creating it.

Example: A Notion template that replaces a £20/month project management tool can reasonably be priced at £15–£30 as a one-time purchase.

Competitive Pricing

Research similar products in your niche. You don’t need to be the cheapest, but your price should reflect the quality and uniqueness of what you’re offering.

Psychological Pricing

Prices ending in 7 or 9 (£17, £29, £49) tend to convert better than round numbers. Starting with a lower price and raising it as you get reviews and testimonials is a proven strategy.

Start Low, Raise Later

If you’re launching your first digital product, starting at a lower price reduces the buyer’s risk and helps you build reviews and social proof. You can always increase the price later as demand grows.

Tips for Growing Digital Product Sales

1. Create Content That Demonstrates Your Expertise

The best marketing for digital products is free content that showcases your knowledge. If you sell Lightroom presets, post before-and-after transformations. If you sell a course, share free tips that hint at the deeper content available in the paid product.

2. Use Your Bio Page Strategically

Place your digital products prominently on your AstroLink page. Use clear, benefit-driven labels like “Get My Complete Notion System – £19” rather than generic text like “Shop.”

3. Leverage Social Proof

Share customer testimonials, screenshots of positive feedback, or usage numbers. Social proof reduces purchase anxiety and increases conversion rates.

4. Create Urgency When Appropriate

Limited-time pricing, launch discounts, or seasonal promotions can drive purchases. But use urgency authentically -false scarcity damages trust.

5. Build an Email List

Use a free lead magnet (a simpler version of your paid product) to capture email addresses. Email marketing is one of the highest-converting channels for digital product sales.

6. Update and Improve

Regularly update your products based on customer feedback. Buyers who see continued improvements become repeat customers and recommend you to others.

7. Bundle Products

If you have multiple digital products, offer a bundle at a discounted price. Bundles increase average order value and help buyers discover products they might not have found individually.
