Selling raw PDFs vs a store with recurring income
Every platform above can sell a PDF once. The difference for a creator’s income is what happens after the sale: a one-off sale stops when you stop posting. Zyentora pairs ready-made products with its own apps, and pays resellers a recurring commission on every app subscription their link brings in (50% of the first month, then 20% on Free; 70% then 40% on Pro and Pro+), for as long as the subscriber stays. Each product’s receipt also points the buyer to the app that fits it, with the reseller’s link.
Which one fits
- You have your own product and want buyers worldwide: Gumroad.
- You sell your own products, courses and coaching and sell enough to cover a monthly fee: Stan Store.
- You sell your own products to Indian buyers in rupees: Instamojo or SuperProfile.
- You don’t have a product yet, or want recurring income on top: Zyentora.
