Ezine InformationSet up your Infoproduct as a transfer
to sell off you website
by:
Trevor Anderson
All but all over
you look on the Cyberspace there is proposal
on what to sell off your website. One of the most common recommendations is “Information."
Yes, Information! Infoproducts: eBooks, eZines, Newsletters, etc, etc. “How to write a better commerce eBook.” “Create your own Newsletter.” “Sell your own eBook off your website.” “People crave information.” Fantastic!
What no one ever explains is how you set up your Infoproduct as a download. As far as I am aware, you wish probably struggle to find out how to do this anyplace
on the web too.
The following information assumes you have a website up and running. If you are commerce off your site you wish need a “Merchant Account” which wish take fast
payment, which of course, is necessary before your consumer
is allowed to transfer
your product.
You wish need to coordinate access from your website (the place wherever
the consumer
decides and takes action to buy your download) to the transfer
link you have created.
This is wherever
your “Merchant Account” wish help. For example; PayPal has fantabulous tools for setting up your rating and shipping price and creating “Buy Now” buttons, which buyers click on to take them to the Credit Card/PayPal account holders payment page.
You wish be able to set up a link through PayPal’s “Merchant Tools” which brings the client to your transfer
link once payment has been approved.
Creating a Remove
One of the most efficient and cost effective route to deliver your Infoproduct is by “Download.” The process is not complicated. All you are doing once
you set up a transfer
is directive the client (after they have paid by electronic means) back to your web page with a transfer
link on it.
They click this “Download Now” link and they are invited to save or open the transfer
on their own computer. Your transfer
product is hold on
in a planned
file/folder on your own computer.
The better way to do this is to zip up the file to support it from taking up as more room and then save the zipped file to your web server (your website on the internet).
You can use WinZip (you may already have it) to accomplish this. 1st you need to transfer
(if you haven't already) a copy of the free (evaluation) version of WinZip. www.winzip.com There are different zip programs but WinZip is probably the most popular.
Before you install, the program wish ask you if you want the program to start with WinZip Wizard or WinZip Classic. Choose Classic.
After the programme has been with success
installed, follow these steps:
1. Start WinZip
2. From the menu, choose "File" and then choice "New Archive".
3. A window of your hard drive, showing all the contents of your computer, wish appear, and you are asked to give the zip file a name. Before you give it a name do sure you pay attention to wherever
(what folder) you are deed available to save this file in. You'll need to locate it later. I would-be use “Desktop,” but it could be anyplace
on your hard drive. Simply remember where.
This is the zipped file you are deed available to create wish contain all the files you want folk to be able to download. So it wish be the file that is saved to your web server(uploaded to the cyberspace via your site).
So; now navigate to the folder (the place on your hard drive, for example; desktop) wherever
you want the zip file to be saved and name it some you want.
Lets say, for example purposes, you have written an eBook so we can call the file ebook. WinZip wish attach .zip into the filename automatically, so it wish be called ebook.zip Click OK.
4. Next, the window of your hard driving wish appear again. At this point you want to locate the file or files you want to zip up and be placed inside the file you simply named in step 3.
This is wherever
you choose the file/s you want folk to download. Let’s say you have saved your eBook on your “Desktop” (but it could be anyplace
on your hard drive). Once you find it, choice it and click "Add". If you have more than one file to select, hold down the control key and choice all the files and then click Add.
5. You wish now be taken back to WinZip’s house window and you should see the file/s you want to zip up in the window.
6. Choice the file/s. If you have more than one, simply hold down control and click all the files, or, go to “File” and click “Select All.”
7. Once the file/s are selected, go to "Actions" and on the drop down menu click "Make .EXE file".
8. A pop-up menu wish move up thanking you and reminding you to register. Simply ignore registration request and click OK (you don't have to register).
9. Another pop-up window wish appear and ask; "Create a self-extracting zip file from" You wish see the name of the zip file that you created in Step 3.
10. Right below that you wish see a blank that says "Default 'Unzip To' Folder". This is the name of the folder that the files wish mechanically
extract (unzip) to once
folk transfer
the files from your site. If that folder makes not exist on the person's PC, WinZip wish create it for them. Don’t leave it blank, or it wish mechanically
go in their Worker
folder.
It is advisable
that you list thing
here. Try to give it a name similar to the filename so the person wish recognize it once
they look for the folder on their PC at several stage in the future.
In the example we use here of eBook you could call it “eBook ; followed by some you are writing about. ”So if your book is simply about growing roses, you could call it “eBook Complete Rose Grower.” Click OK.
11. Now the program wish ask you if you want to test the file which has simply been zipped up. Click "Yes" and WinZip wish run through the unzipping process. This is the same process the user that has simply downloaded your file/s wish see.
12. Next the pop-up box wish tell you wherever
the file is unzipping from. This wish be the same location you designated in step 3.
13. Choice "Unzip" and the program wish say; "1 file unzipped successfully" or if you had more than one file it wish tell you how many a were with success
unzipped.
On your hard drive, there should have been a folder created called "Complete Rose Grower" (or some name you chose in Step 10) and the files should be sitting there unzipped.
14. Now you're available to take the zipped file and transfer
it to your server so folk can download.
15. Go to Windows Human and locate the zip file that you created in step 3. So if you named it ebook, you should see a file called ebook.zip. This is the file that contains all of your files inside that folk wish download. If you want to test it again, simply double click on the zip file and WinZip should extract the files to the folder you given in step 10.
16. Now you need to transfer
this zip file to the internet. Forward you have a website from which to sell your eBook, you need to find an FTP program (File Remove Protocol) to do this.
There are many a to choose from. Simply do an Cyberspace search for “FTP Program.” Once
installed the program wish help you transfer
the file/s in effect, onto your site and therefore, the internet.
17. For the purposes of these examples let’s call your domain www.betterebooks.com (Please Note: This is not a real URL; at least it wasn’t at the time of writing!). After you've uploaded the file, you're available to point folk to the link so they can transfer
the zip file.
18. As an example, you uploaded ebook.zip to a folder called “ebooks” and your domain name is "www.betterebooks.com" then the link you wish use to point to the transfer
wish be thing
like;
“http://www.betterebooks.com/ebooks/ebook.zip” The WinZip program creates this link automatically.
When buyers click on this link it wish at once start the transfer
process.
19. After they transfer
it the unzipping program wish unfasten
the file to the folder that you given in step 11 on their hard drive.
So there you have it. Easy! Nice Luck and great success.
