DLGuard Review: Checkout Software For Protecting Ebook Business Sales

Posted in Business on April 30th, 2010 by Jim – Comments Off

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.

It would be very interesting and you would not feel tired working out on this device. It’s called an air climber and it will certainly help you to shed those extra pounds if you regularly work on it.

What is the reason for gaining those extra pounds? What precautions will help us to stop gaining weight? Let’s read on. Your body is what you eat. If you take in more calories and don’t use that up then your body weight will be on the higher side. Nevertheless, if you burn all these calories amidst all your daily activities then you do not have to worry about the fat piling up. For example, if a person consumes about 3000 calories a day then he has to use up more calories so that there is no weight gain.

Some people are addicted to food and keep eating often without doing any physical activity. As time passes, it becomes difficult for them to move around and they start looking out for weight loss programs. If such programs are followed regularly, they will be able to achieve the desired results. Many exercises and devices can be used for these kinds of workouts. The air climber is one such device which when used regularly will help you shed the extra pounds.

With this you can do your workouts at your home. It is very easy to use and set it up too. And using it is much easier. You can carry it wherever you want for your workouts. It is not expensive also. The device has two steps that you need to fill with air as soon as you get the machine. It has two cables for you to hold while exercising. Though small, it can withstand any amount of weight. All you need to do is to step on the two steps and go up and down against the air pressure inside the steps. This device is said to be more effective for starters. Initially, it is better to have a 20 minute workout and then gradually increase the time as well as the resistance at your convenience. The cost of the machine is $99.
