Adding a preview did not sell more: what the data says
Listings with a preview asset convert at 0.21%. Listings without convert at 0.25%. The lesson is not that previews do not work - it is that a link nobody notices does nothing.
Article
Two categories, same effort, 22 times the attention
Poster templates get 83 buyer views per listing. E-books get 3.7. The work to publish either is identical, and almost nobody checks before choosing.
Article

Article
The average PDF sold here is 33 pages. What that tells you about the market.

Article

Refunds run at 3.3% of completed orders here, and four in five are approved. What sits behind that rate, and the two sentences that prevent most of it.
Article

Across every completed Getly order, the busiest hour is 15:00 UTC, followed by 07:00 and 18:00. What a real purchase clock changes about when you publish.
Article
Free products get downloaded 17 times more often. That is not the win it looks like.
89 free listings on Getly average 1.7 downloads each; 4,308 paid listings average 0.1. What the gap actually tells you about pricing a digital product.
Article

Two thirds of stores never publish a product. The gap between creating a store and publishing the first one is measurably the hardest step in selling digital goods.
Article
What does not separate sellers who sell from sellers who do not
Sellers who have sold write 1,323-character descriptions and upload 2.0 images. Sellers who have not write 1,244 and upload 2.0. The advice everyone gives is measurably not the difference.

Buyers pay more than sellers list. Here is the gap, in dollars.
The median digital product listed on Getly costs $6.51. The median one that sold cost $9.99. Measured across 693 completed orders and 4,316 live listings.
Article
How many products does it take to make a first sale? We counted.
