selling ebooks

The DLGuard set of scripts allow anybody with their own web server to sell digital products over the internet through providing secure download links after administering the checkout and handling payment processing of sales. This DLGuard review principally highlights the products use in selling ebooks online, but the product can handle any digital file type that can be uploaded.

The product is a set of scripts that cover all the functionality required of a sales management tool. This includes inventory administration, providing on-site purchase links, interfacing with Paypal (and other payment processing companies), etc.

The majority of sales online fall into 3 categories, and DLGuard can handle each. At the simple end of the spectrum it supports individual product sales and multiple product sales. At the complex end, it can handle membership sales whereby customers are signing up to monthly membership costs to specific areas of your websites.

My own experience with the product started three years ago and the initial intention was to start selling ebooks online (both my own books and ebook reselling) and some sales of software applications (principally add-ons for larger applications).

Installing the product back in 2007 on a single server took about 20 minutes. The time consuming part was adding links and buttons on my sites where customers could buy my ebooks. A good recommendation is to start out with a single website and one or two ebooks you wish to sell so that you can fine tune the buttons, links and cart design.

More recently, I have been looking into using the membership sales management on the site for providing a forum on writing plug-in software along with members free software downloads.

In hindsight, I could have opted to use some of the large websites on-line for selling ebooks and software, but I was put off by a couple of factors. First was the commission that I’d have to pay and secondly there is the problem that it is not possible to compile a customer email database during the checkout stage (the third party vendor retains this information).

The sole problem with the product is the 2 domain license limit. In my situation the workaround was to run DLGuard on a single server to handle the checkout and sales from my 4 websites. This did mean the page design for the checkout stage had to be kept neutral rather than matching the color schemes of the 4 sites.

Using DLGuard has completely automated the sales and downloads for my digital products, freeing up my time for writing ebooks and plug-in applications. The sign of a great application like this is that it administers the sales without needing much intervention on my part and still has advanced features like membership site management that could broaden the appeal and potential of my websites.
