  I would like to have my audio book for sale on my website. Is this possible? I tried and got the message the file size was too big.

  How large of a file is the audiobook?

  If you aren’t able to upload it to your WordPress.com account due to size limitations, there are other work arounds such as redirecting a user to a different site/service to download the book after they have completed their purchase.

  Once we have an idea of how large the file is, that will help determine which options will be available to you.

  It is 124 MB, bit rate 116 kbps, length 2:29:53. I have read that sometimes this can be uploaded to my server using FTP program?

  Could you let us know what the URL of the site you’re working on is? I can see two sites connected to your account.

  Hello there,

  Many thanks for reaching back out.

  It looks like http://www.mindfuljourney.ca is a self-hosted WordPress site, which is a bit different to a site hosted on WordPress.com. You can read about these differences here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  You would need to reach out to the hosting provider with regards to upload limits and site storage.

  I hope this helps.
