How to sell your eBook online as a PDF and have it protected

[@starrweaver]

Thanks, as an author I want to make sure that I'm not losing sales. I put a lot of work into writing my stories, just like a lot of others and I want to get paid. When I'm wealthy maybe it won't feel so bad, but right now I need more income.

[@EranBucai]

I understand. have you started with systeme io?

[@nikhilchauhan2290]

VALUABLE CONTENT.... I'm from India and i love the way you delivered your content ....you explained exactly what we wanted ❤

Thank you so much! happy to be able to serve you

@@EranBucai hello, teach us also the whole process from the beginning on how to set it and release to customers, and also the best means of preserving different password for multiple pdf products. Also i want to know how i can protect someone from taking screenshort of image i upload on my website

[@EranBucai]

@@shadrackdeogratius6760 I don't know how to protect from someone taking a screenshot. Different password, you can save this info on lastpass or 1password. Setting up a course area in systeme is what I teach on my channel.

Thank you so much for this. A lot of work goes into creating e books or guides and it's not fair that 1 person downloads it and shares it with thousands of other people who didn't pay for it 😢

[@EranBucai]

I agree

[@dmmchugh3714]

@@Anamillio I believe that it a copyright violation, no ? Something to this effect should be added on the last page of your ebook I should think.

[@Anamillio]

@@dmmchugh3714 yes it is, but copyright laws are not strict at all in most other countries. My content is geared towards an international audience so I can't do much about it

[@Inner-CircleCollective]

Good information. I just wish you covered how to connect the payment vehicle so you are able to sell it.

[@EranBucai]

I do cover it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pWWZfmill8yHj8U

[@sarahthestrategist4560]

Thanks very much, it will be helpful for my books

[@EranBucai]

wonderful! are you going to use Simple Booklet or something else?

[@JakeWilkinsAU]

I have a fillable PDF that I'm cautious of selling digitally (I already sell the physical workbook and ship to the customer). But I keep getting nervous because once someone successfully downloads the PDF (assuming they paid for it and they are a genuine customer) they can put it on their own store and sell it themselves. Any thoughts to help ease my nerves? I agree with the Robert Kiyosaki quote that it's all brand awareness, but for me I'm a very small player wanting to make a few extra sales by selling it digitally not just physically. It's a workbook too, so it needs to be fillable if selling as a PDF.

[@EranBucai]

I totally get it. The truth is if someone wants to copy you, they can. If someone wants to download your videos of an online course, you can. Your best protection is your brand. That's the sad truth, but also the very reassuring truth - because no one can truly copy your brand and your audience loyalty can't be bought or copied. The cost of not taking action and selling is much greater than the cost of taking action and maybe getting copied or stolen from, if that makes sense?

[@VivekKumar-iu3mt]

Hi great share. I have a question though. Let say I embedd the code to my website. Now someone who has access to it , logs in. Can he get the code by inspecting the browser. If so then can they use the same code to embedd in their own website. I understand that their is the domain restriction. Still I was wandering if that's possible somehow??

[@EranBucai]

Great question. Because of the domain protection feature, they can’t just steal your content. That’s what I have with my beginners guide to email marketing and book. eran.link/emailguide

[@PowerOfAIandMotivation]

Thank you🙏🏻

[@EranBucai]

You’re welcome

[@nextinstitute7824]

Hi! Thank you! I have a report that I sell to companies. It;s easy for them to buy it and share it with all their employees. That's fine, but I would want to have a higher fee for that. I don't want to raise the price too much, to cover that. I like your second option, but I am a little afraid that clients wouldn't click on a link like that for fear of viruses or spyware. Do you have any experience with that?

[@EranBucai]

I've not had this issue, but you can avoid that by recording a short video on the thank you page explaining to them what to expect. Do you think that would solve it?

[@paulohenriquefarianunes814]

Good video.What do you think about PDF Unshare? Is it safe or protection can also be easily broken?

[@EranBucai]

I have no opinion about that tool as I am not familiar with it

[@EranBucai]

@@paulohenriquefarianunes814 very cool, thanks for sharing

[@charlieharper4975]

It seems what you have done is imbed the PDF file to your website.

[@EranBucai]

In some cases, that's correct. Not always though.

[@deeprelaxationguidedmedita5074]

Is it legal to sell PDF books online that I bought for mysèlf.

[@EranBucai]

I very much doubt that’s legal. Considering it’s someone else’s intellectual property. The only time this is legit is if you specifically purchased a PLR product (Private Label Rights)

[@natayquesodeleche380]

Is there any way to sell a book to download to your pc and with the feature that you can open it with at least 2 different ip address?

[@EranBucai]

I am not sure to be honest

[@jms6184]

Whats to prevent people from sharing the password?

[@EranBucai]

The trust that most people are good honest people

[@bervella5866]

My question is how to attach the pdf to the sales that is how i can make it that a customer selects buy and the link sends him the pdf

[@EranBucai]

What platform are you using to make the sale?

[@bervella5866]

@@EranBucai i didn t choose any platform yet. I was going to try with fcbk or instag but i don t know how to link the payment to the pdf so that when one pays, the pdf goes to the customer. I don t like how amazon works and ebay is not that popular anymore

[@robotech681]

Sell your ebook and give the dude your password he's gonna keep it online together with his password 😂 no way bro

[@EranBucai]

Thanks for checking out my video and leaving a comment.

[@chiflixmovies888]

No sound

[@EranBucai]

turn on your audio... there is definitely sound

[@alfredharveyelacion1102]

I have an idea. Have your pdf password protected. Then use the gmail account of your buyer to have it customized only for him/her to open the file. For sure he/she will not share his password (his/her gmail acct) for his info protection to anyone else? Does this idea make sense?hehe

[@EranBucai]

Thanks for sharing your idea

[@rucvv]

This sounds interesting. So for example, make the password as the customer’s name and mobile number? Obviously no problem if only used personally, but risk if the person wants to share the file. I guess still cannot stop sharing among the person’s close friends but could prevent mass online sharing

[@sagarflixofficial]

Suppose I've sold a pdf ebook. So, How can I make sure, the customer won't forward that pdf to anyone else?

[@EranBucai]

you can't know for sure. It's the risk of selling info products

[@robotech681]

Actually I found a way but I still do think desperate people can still get it, and share online for free, you can prevent it from being copied, can't also be shared online and prevents screenshot but the user Can still use screen recording so definitely a desperate person can still sell your product

[@sagarflixofficial]

@@robotech681 what is the way?
