Can You Stop Sharing When You Sell Information Online In Ebooks?When you sell information online in ebook format, can you stop people from sharing it? You can limit sharing using Clickbank as a payment option. Clickbank provides some measure of protection.How does it work? The first step is to create a sales page for your product. A customer clicks on the buy link and Clickbank allows them to enter their credit card information. If the information is valid, Clickbank sends the customer your download page. If the payment is not valid, Clickbank will not send the customer your download page. As a result, a customer can only access your page if they provide a valid form of payment. However, once a customer has that link, he or she can download your product and share it with everyone. How do you protect yourself even after payment has been received? If you are looking for a way to protect your products when you sell information online, one way to do so is by using a membership website with a password. What you do is place the information you want to offer on a webpage instead of in ebook format. For example, on my website, they have to use their user name and password and their account is linked to their payment information. When you sell a $700 course with a $97 per month membership subscription, protecting your information is important. You do not want that type of information being shared. I do not care as much if I am selling 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. Simply put, unless you protect the information itself and not just at the point of payment, customers can share your information with anyone that they want to share it with when you sell information online. _________________________ Copyright Stephen Beck, 2009 You have permission to reprint this article as long as you don't make any changes and include the bio below.
