Not too long ago I was contacted by someone who wanted to sell Excel spreadsheets and accompanying documents online. They were advanced spreadsheets for personal budgeting and were quite unique. He wanted to offer them up in zip packages and sell different sets online using PayPal. This was actually a pretty common way of doing business except he was currently emailing them out by hand one at a time! We suggested using BitBuffet and freed up his time to focus on marketing and customer support.

Using BitBuffet to Sell Excel Spreadsheets

A lot of questions we get are about how difficult it is to get set up and going with BitBuffet. It's actually a quite simple process to get up and running. Below, I'll list the steps to get from zero to hero.

1. Sign up for a PayPal Premier or Business account (it's free!)
2. Sign up for a BitBuffet.com account.
3. Follow our easy setup directions after you activate your account.
4. Zip up your Excel files and other documents (using free software like WinZip or right-click->Send-to compressed folder (zipped) in Vista or Windows 7).
5. Add your Product and set your title and price and upload your zip file.
6. Copy the button code onto your website.
7. Watch the money roll in!

It's useful to note that once you complete these steps the rest of the work is hands-free! You never have to send out emails or create download links manually again. We take care of it automatically. If a customer purchases your Excel sheet at 4:35 am on a Sunday morning, they'll get an email with a download link dispatched from the BitBuffet servers at 4:36am.

Commission Free Sales!

The glorious thing about selling with BitBuffet is that you never get hit with extra costs. You pay a flat monthly fee and keep every penny. Your money doesn't even get routed through us! You customer pays into your PayPal account and we send the link on your behalf. Never get gouged by other sellers again.
