Long time lurker here... I spent the last month creating my product, a 9-session audio learning series and an ebook workbook. I've created a web site for selling them. Now I'm just trying to figure out how to do that! Here's what my research seems to be showing me. PLEASE correct me on anything and offer any opinions: 1. I need to sign up for DigitalProductDelivery or EJunkie if I want someone else to host and deliver the files (about 100MB total download). If I want to host the files myself, I'd use DLGuard. Which would be best? 2. I need to sign up for Clickbank if I want to give affiliates the ability to sell my product. If I go with EJunkie for #1, I COULD use their affiliate program OR sync with Clickbank. Which would be better? 3. I need to sign up for a payment processor. I don't need a cart; I want a simple BUY NOW. I need to go with PayPal Business for that. Is that the best solution? Finally, my host for years has been 1and1.com. I pay $5/month. I've read a lot of good things about HostGator. Might that be worth the switch? If so, why? I appreciate any help anyone can offer.
1. I need to sign up for DigitalProductDelivery or EJunkie if I want someone else to host and deliver the files (about 100MB total download). If I want to host the files myself, I'd use DLGuard. Which would be best? The second option seem more favor if you looking to sell it long term. 2. I need to sign up for Clickbank if I want to give affiliates the ability to sell my product. If I go with EJunkie for #1, I COULD use their affiliate program OR sync with Clickbank. Which would be better? Go for click bank coz its more people use it. 3. I need to sign up for a payment processor. I don't need a cart; I want a simple BUY NOW. I need to go with PayPal Business for that. Is that the best solution? Yes,but i do advise you not using paypal coz there will involve many charge back when selling digital product. Finally, my host for years has been 1and1.com. I pay $5/month. I've read a lot of good things about HostGator. Might that be worth the switch? If so, why? This totally up to you coz using which host is same since both of them also US based.
Thank you for the response. You're the first person I've heard say that. Can you expound on that a bit? Would it be better then to go to 2Checkout or Google Checkout then? I was avoiding those to start out because they're more expensive, but if they're worth it, I'd do it.
