    Hi guys,

    Wondered if I could have some advice.

    I've got an ebook that I would like to sell. I've got a domain name for it, and a sales page, and a download page, but not too sure how to deal with payment processing and sending out the product.
    At the moment I've got a pay by paypal button on the site, and when they pay they receive a link to the download page on the site, but I realise this isn't that secure...

    I'm also looking into the idea of getting it listed on Clickbank. I was wondering, do they deal with the whole sending out the ebook/receiving payment process? Or do I still need to send out the ebook and sort out the payment?


    Would really appreciate any advice.


    Thanks :)

    Clickbank is really good if you want them to handle all the money and security. They pay you every other week. They do not deliver the product for you though. You would have to have your own download page. They will send you some codes so that you can verify payment, collect customer e-mail address, etc. But you host everything.

    The biggest advantage of Clickbank is that they handle all the affiliate payments too. And there a lot of affiliates out there who will promote your product.

    If you want someone else to host your product for you and handle delivery, then I would recommend e-junkie. E-junkie doesn't do payment processing, they host the product and authorize delivery. The scenario here is using paypal to authorize the payments from the customer, then they hand it off to e-junkie upon an authorized payment, and e-junkie sends them the download link.

    Hope that helps.

    Why not using PayPal? The fee is low.

    I don't know why people suggest Plimus. They are scam company. Beware because your account can be suspended with all funds in it. They're worse than PayPal.

    I've been a satisfied ClickBank user for the last 10 years. They're solid, reliable and also a standard in the industry.
