DLGuard Review: Checkout Software For Protecting Ebook Business Sales
DLGuard digital sales software has been helping web entrepreneurs sell on-line for several years. This DLGuard review focuses on using it to establish an ebook business where it is critical that the sales and distribution of ebook files are kept secure from misuse.
I had heard, over the past years, of independent webmasters using DLGuard to provide shopping cart & checkout pages on their websites. But it was only recently that I discovered its specialty is managing selling digital products. After writing some ebooks and looking to start my fledgling ebook business I installed DLGuard on my own web server.
The products scripts provide default checkout web pages which I direct hyper-links to from existing web pages. After initializing the inventory of PDF files (the ebooks) and configuring payment details (for dealing with Paypal/Clickbank/etc) the software is ready to handle sales.
After a customer’s payment is verified the product emails them a unique download link for the ebook. This all happens without my intervention. The best part is that the link is secured from misuse (being shared) by being time limited and also capped at a maximum usage limit. These configuration settings will halt your ebooks from being mass-downloaded once a link is publicly shared.
In terms of starting an ebook business, publishing PDFs is completely automated by the tool leaving you time to market your website. This is the main setback to this approach as your sales volumes are dictated by your website traffic volumes – using an online sales service that have huge international volumes may well result in more sales.
As entry level sales applications go, DLGuard is a fully functional product that automates a huge amount of work. If you have the technical coding skills to customize its default checkout web pages then it is possible to rapidly have your business operational. The key factor though, is that it secures your ebook download links from being shared which will safeguard you from a lot of missed sales.
