Can You Stop Sharing When You Sell Information Online In Ebooks?
Is there any way to protect your ebooks from being shared when you sell information online? Using ClickBank is a potential solution. By accepting payment with Clickbank, it gives you some security.
How does it limit access? After creating a sales page to describe the product you link to Clickbank. There is a buy it now button that you can add through Clickbank that will capture the credit card information that the customer puts in. Upon entering valid information and having the necessary funds available, the link to download the product is provided to the customer. This is the only way the download link can be accessed. This provides some protection for you.
What happens after the customer pays for the ebook and downloads it to their computer? There is nothing that prevents that customer from sharing your ebook with everyone because the PDF document can be easily shared.
One possible solution when you sell information online is to use a password protection membership website to control distribution of the ebook. Instead of placing the information in a PDF, you keep it on one of these websites. When someone accesses a product that I have on one of these websites, they need to enter their user name and password and if there is a problem with payment they cannot see the information. I have a main course that costs $700 and has a $97 monthly subscription. That is not something I want being distributed for free. On the other hand, I might not care as much for a $27 ebook.
With most products, especially in niches where the buyer tends to be more honest, sharing is not a major issue. One technique to limit sharing is to use the honor system by reminding your readers at the beginning of the ebook that it is not free and giving them a way to report violators who choose to share the ebook without permission. Many people who read such a statement will abide by it. They do not want to be considered thieves and will abide by your request.
The only way to protect your information from being shared is using a password or a PDF protection application as other methods are not fool proof and your information can still be shared when you sell information online.
