Prior to this article, I wrote about how there are a couple of different options that you can use to protect your products as you sell information. Using a membership site and requiring each person to log in is one method. Installing and using an ebook protection application is another method. You decide which one is best.
If you decide to go the pdf or ebook protection route, you can find various applications by searching on Google for pdf protection or ebook protection. I do not use this option because I think it is a waste of money. It is my belief that your efforts are better spent selling more products as opposed to trying to stop the minority of people who want to steal your work. Your efforts would be better spent creating new products to sell to your customers. This gives you a bigger bang for your buck and will make you more money in the long run. If I have to choose between the two options, a membership site is the way to go.
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. - 30201
