Selling digital products online sounds exciting—but if you’re using Blogger, you might be wondering, “Can I really make money from this free platform?” The short answer? Absolutely.
I’ve helped a lot of people figure this out, and I’ll walk you through everything you need to know—from picking the right product to setting up payments and delivering your downloads.
Blogger might not be as flashy as some of the newer platforms, but it’s solid, reliable, and totally free. That means lower costs and more room to grow your side hustle (or full-time gig).
And the best part? You don’t need any fancy tech skills. If you can write a blog post, you can sell digital products. Let’s break it down.
What Counts As a Digital Product?
Before we get into how to sell, let’s make sure we’re on the same page about what you can sell.
A digital product is anything you can sell online and deliver electronically—no shipping needed. Some popular examples:
Ebooks and guides (PDFs work great)
Templates (for Notion, Canva, resumes, etc.)
Online courses
Stock photos or graphics
Printables (planners, journals, stickers)
Audio files (music, sound effects, meditations)
Software or plugins
If it can be downloaded or accessed online, you can sell it.
Why Blogger Is Still a Great Platform in 2025
I get it—Blogger isn’t as popular as it was 10 years ago. But it still has some huge perks for anyone just starting out:
It’s free. No hosting fees. No premium plans.
It’s run by Google, so your blog can rank well in search.
It’s simple to use—perfect if you’re not tech-savvy.
You can customize it with themes and widgets.
And yes, you can connect it to tools that let people buy and download your digital products right from your blog.
How Do I Sell Digital Products on Blogger?
Here’s the part you’re here for. I’ll keep it simple and walk you through the whole process.
1. Choose a Product That Solves a Real Problem
This is the most important step. Think about:
What your audience already asks you for
What you’ve created for yourself that others might need
What kind of content gets the most views on your blog
For example:
If you blog about budgeting, create a printable monthly budget.
If you teach photography, sell Lightroom presets or an ebook on camera settings.
Tip: Use free tools like AnswerThePublic or Google Trends to see what people are searching for.
2. Create the Product (Don’t Overthink It)
You don’t need fancy tools. Here’s what I use:
Canva – for ebooks, printables, templates
Google Docs or Slides – for guides or planners
Audacity – for recording audio files
Notion – for digital planners or workspaces
Export your product in a downloadable format (PDF, MP3, PNG, ZIP, etc.). Make sure it looks clean and is easy to use.
3. Upload Your Product to a File Hosting Service
Since Blogger doesn’t host files directly, you’ll need to upload your product somewhere else and share the link with buyers after they pay.
Here are a few good options:
Gumroad – free and super easy to use
Payhip – great for selling ebooks and courses
SendOwl – more advanced, but powerful
Google Drive – free, but less secure
I recommend Gumroad or Payhip for beginners. They let you set a price, handle payments, and automatically deliver the file after purchase.
4. Add the Product to Your Blogger Blog
Once your product is ready and you have the purchase link, here’s what to do:
Option 1: Add a Buy Button to a Blog Post
Write a blog post about your product
Insert a “Buy Now” button or link from Gumroad or Payhip
Add screenshots, explain what buyers get, and include testimonials (if you have them)
Option 2: Create a Static Sales Page
Go to Pages > New Page in Blogger
Design a clean landing page just for the product
Use clear headlines, bullet points, and call-to-action buttons
Make it easy to say yes.
5. Promote It (Without Being Pushy)
Once your product is live, don’t wait for traffic to magically appear. Here’s how I promote mine:
Add a call-to-action at the end of blog posts
Share on Pinterest (great for visual products)
Use email marketing (Mailchimp or ConvertKit are good free tools)
Post on Instagram, Facebook, or Threads
Write guest posts for blogs in your niche
Consistency is key. It’s okay if it takes a little time to pick up sales.
FAQs – Quick Answers You Might Be Looking For
Can I use Blogger to sell without a website or shop?
Yes. Blogger is your website. With a good layout and a few product pages, you can absolutely run a small digital shop from it.
How do I get paid?
Platforms like Gumroad or Payhip connect to PayPal or Stripe, and payments go straight to your account.
What if I don’t have a big audience?
Start anyway. Focus on creating useful content and products. Over time, people will find your blog through search or social media.
Is it safe to sell digital products this way?
Yes, but make sure your files are stored securely (e.g., on Gumroad with buyer-only access), and always test the download link yourself before sharing.
Wrap-Up
Selling digital products on Blogger isn’t hard. It just takes a clear plan and the right tools.
You don’t need to spend money on fancy platforms or get caught up in tech stuff. Start with what you know, create something helpful, and build from there.
