Should You Protect Your Ebooks With Security Software When You Sell Information?Previously, I explained about the various options at your disposal to protect your products when you sell information. Using a membership website that requires password authentication is one way to do this. You also have the option to use PDF software protection. The choice is yours.To find pdf protection software, do a search for either pdf protection or ebook protection to find different options. I personally believe that investing in this type of software is a wasted investment. The reason why is because your money and time is better invested in finding ways to sell more copies of your ebook than stopping people from trying to download your ebook for free. The money you spend on that type of software can be better spent on directing traffic to your website. Creating new products is a better way to spend your business building time. A membership site is a much better way to protect your information. In my business model I start out by offering a $27 ebook to get the customer to do business with me. Those that buy the ebook are then introduced to my monthly audio program, for which I charge $19.97 a month. Doing this gives me control as to the quality of prospect that sees my monthly program because only paying customers are learning about it. In addition to that, I also have a gold membership that I offer for more money. This gold membership gives me the revenues that I need to cover the cost of my membership site application, known as AMember. AMember allows me to control who gets access to my website. Trying to stop people from sharing a $27 ebook is a waste of my time and effort. Besides I can stop most of the people for free. All I do is tell them in the ebook that the product is not free and that if they receive it for free they should do the right thing and delete it and that works well for me. As for my monthly audio website program, my AMember software does the job. Having access to this type of program for a membership site or a physical or digital product is a great form of protection because everyone has to have account information in order to use it. This is why I go with this option as opposed to going with an ebook protector. _____________________________ 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.
