Setting Your Price

You are in control of your pricing when you sell digital products on Craftdas. Here is how to think about pricing:

Consider Your Product's Value

Price your product based on the value it provides. If it saves someone hours of work, it is worth more.

Research Competitors

Research what others charge for similar products. Set a competitive price that reflects your product's quality.

Start with a Lower Price

If you are new, consider starting with a lower price. Build reviews and credibility. Then raise your prices.

Offer Tiered Pricing

Consider offering tiered pricing. A basic version, a premium version, and a deluxe version. This gives buyers options and increases your revenue.

One of the unique features when you sell digital products on Craftdas is the affiliate commission setup.

Set Your Own Commission Rate

You can set your own commission rate for affiliates who promote your products. You decide how much to pay affiliates.

My Personal Digital Product Story

Personal digital product story on Craftdas

I started my journey in 2017. I had no plan, no niche, no name. I applied for AdSense more times than I want to admit — never approved, not once. So I found another way: I started charging artists to feature their songs on my site. It taught me the first real lesson — if one door won't open, you build another one.

Then in 2018, my phone was stolen. I walked away for years.

I came back in 2025. Built a new site from nothing. Then from April 2025 to July 2026, my new posts simply would not index. Fourteen months of publishing into what felt like a void.

I kept going. Then Google indexed 580 pages of my site at once. That single event is why Craftdas exists — so other creators wouldn't have to guess their way through the same struggles I did.

Now I sell digital products on Craftdas. I sell eBooks, templates, and courses. I earn passive income from products I created once. And the best part? I keep 98% of my earnings at my current tier.

That is why I am sharing this guide. Because I know you can sell digital products on Craftdas and build a sustainable income stream.
