To sell Lightroom presets in Ghana, zip your preset files with a short install guide, upload them as a digital product, and share one link. On Paylead, buyers pay by MoMo or card and get the download link the moment the payment goes through. It is free to start and costs 4% + GH₵ 1 per sale.
What to prepare
- The files. Export desktop presets (XMP) and mobile presets (DNG) for people who edit on their phone. Put them in one ZIP.
- A short install guide. A one-page PDF: how to import on Lightroom Mobile and on desktop. It cuts support questions to almost nothing.
- Before-and-after images. Three to six pairs on real Ghanaian skin tones and light: indoor, golden hour, overcast. This is what sells presets.
Step by step
- Create your free Paylead account.
- Click Create product and choose Digital Product: sell a digital download.
- Name the pack after the look, for example "Accra Golden Hour: 10 presets".
- Add your before-and-after images and a description of who it suits.
- Set the price: fixed, pay what you want with a minimum, or free in exchange for an email.
- Under Digital Delivery, choose File Download and upload the ZIP and the install guide.
- Optional: set a download limit per buyer or make links expire, so one purchase is not passed around a whole group chat.
- Click Create product and share the link.
What it costs
There is no monthly fee on the Starter plan. A GH₵ 80 sale costs 4% + GH₵ 1 = GH₵ 4.20, so GH₵ 75.80 reaches your wallet. Turn on Customer pays transaction charges to pass the fee to the buyer. Withdrawals to MoMo or bank cost a flat GH₵ 5 and arrive the next working day.

Frequently asked questions
Do buyers need an account to download?
No. The download link is on their receipt and in their confirmation email, and they can find it later in My purchases.
Can someone just share my presets after buying?
You can't stop it completely, but you can make it harder: a download limit per buyer, links that expire, and a password on the file.
Can I sell presets from Instagram without a website?
Yes. Put your product link in your bio and stories. Every product gets its own page with a Buy button.
Can buyers outside Ghana pay?
Buyers can pay by Visa or Mastercard as well as mobile money. Prices are in Ghana cedis.
