I have a digital product that I sell it's a PHP script.

I can see the advantages of using you guys to manage the download and payment process.

But the twitter thing confuses me, my only twitter followers are customers anyway and I don't have many. If I was sending out a tweet I'd prefer them to go to my landing page anyway.

So if I were you guys I'd tone down the twitter thing and make the mesasge more about managing digital downloads.

"A simple way to sell your digital products on Twitter"

becomes

"A simple way to sell your digital products"

But maybe this is targeted at people with lots of followers and lots of digital products.

Definitely a valid point, we are currently working on a feature that allows you to sell outside of Twitter, like on your blog and website etc. Thanks for the comment, really appreciated!
Stick with your niche, social networks and the ability to sell on them should be your unique selling point.

There are many other service providers for selling digital goods via your blog or website.

Having it as an option or integrating with one of these providers might be a good idea.

Other than that, maybe for Facebook/new social networks I would recommend partnering with a landing page software provider.

Great idea, keep up the good work.

thanks for the great feedback!
