Start a Digital Downloads Shop while you keep creating

You do not run the day to day of this business, Actionist does. Here is how it works on any business idea, applied to a digital downloads shop: you bring the creative assets, the agent plans the whole operation and works through it in the background.

1. 01

   You share your product and your goals

   You describe what you make: Lightroom presets, Procreate brushes, sound packs or templates. You set your prices, the platforms you want to sell on, and how much time you can give each week. That one-time brief is all Actionist needs.

   →A clear product brief the agent plans against.
2. 02

   Actionist maps every task and subtask

   Actionist breaks the whole shop into a plan: set up the storefront, write each listing, build the email list, set up social posts, handle customer queries. You see the full scope in one place from the first setup task to the hundredth sale.

   →A complete task plan for the shop.
3. 03

   It schedules the work and works through it

   Actionist schedules the tasks and works through them while you are creating your next pack. It lists products, schedules social posts, sends emails and handles support without needing you to drive each step.

   →Steady shop momentum without you managing it.
4. 04

   It assigns you the tasks only you can do

   Some tasks only you can do: create the actual files, take the creative call on a pack brief, or open the payout account. Actionist assigns those to you with everything you need to act on them quickly, then carries on with the rest.

   →A short, clear list of only the tasks that need you.
5. 05

   It asks before anything reaches a buyer

   Before a listing goes live, an email goes out or a social post is published, Actionist pauses and asks you to approve. You choose per task how hands-on to be, from signing off on every caption to letting routine support replies go automatically.

   →You stay in control of everything buyer-facing.
6. 06

   You keep creating while the shop runs

   You spend your time making the next pack, not managing the store. Check in over Telegram or Slack when it suits you, approve what is waiting and message Actionist to change anything. The shop keeps moving between your check-ins.

   →A store that grows around your creative schedule.

This is the plan Actionist builds to launch your digital downloads shop: every stage, task and subtask. The work is split across your Actionist agents, from setting up the store to handling buyer queries. Only a handful of tasks and approvals are left to you.

An example plan Actionist builds for this business. Yours adapts to your product type, your platform and your pace.

Here is what a week looks like once the shop is running. Your agents keep the listings, marketing and support moving every day. You step in for a handful of moments, the ones that need your taste or your decision, and the rest of your week stays free to create.

Your products, your accounts and your buyers are yours. Actionist operates your tools the way you would and pauses before publishing anything or contacting a buyer.
