Should You Protect Your Ebooks With Security Software When You Sell Information?

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 are looking for protection software, you can find it by searching Google for pdf protection or ebook protection. In my opinion, such software is very costly and not worth the expense. I believe a better approach is to simply sell as many copies of my ebook as I can rather than trying to figure out how I can stop the few people that will try and steal my products. My choice is to either focus my time on these thieves or focus my time on serving my customers. I believe that serving my customers is a better use of my time. Therefore, I believe the membership site option is the better approach.

The way I personally sell information is I start off with an ebook at a specific price point, like $27 and I then drive those people to my $19.97 website where I offer an audio monthly membership. Because I am only promoting the monthly membership to paying customers this gives me a better quality of prospect. I also have a higher level of membership, known as a gold membership. With the additional revenue I generate from this advanced level, I am able to purchase the software to manage my membership site. AMember is the application that I use to make sure only valid customers can access my resources.

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.

The way that I protect my audio membership website is with my aMember membership software. Since my program provides continuous revenue, or even if it was just a one-time fee for a physical or digital product, I have a form of protection by requiring username and password access. In my opinion, a membership website is a much better and more effective solution than a pdf protector.
