Did you know that for every ebook copy you sell online, more than 40 copies are circulated for FREE. Yes more than 40.
All it takes is one person who legitimately purchases your ebook and then turns around and shares it with their friends, relatives, and co-workers. They, in turn, share it with their friends, relatives, and co-workers, and so on and so forth. The end result? Literally thousands of pirated, unpaid for copies of your ebook are being circulated around the Internet!
While piracy cannot be eliminated completely, there are measure that can reduce the rate of ebook piracy by up to 75%. Just like locking your room with a padlock or iron door does not prevent your room from being robbed, but it reduces the number of potential intruders. Those with the capacity to break iron doors my have somewhere better to rob.
Here is a tip on how you can reduce your ebook from being pirated by 75%.
>Format your ebook to have more pages.
(Add related images, increase font size and paragraph spacing)
>Make your ebooks non-editable. Create a secured read only format. No highlighting, no copying and no right click and no printing (prevents offline sharing)
>Convert your content completely into images so even if they reverse engineer it, coying will still be difficult.
How do you prevent sharing…
This is REVOLUTIONARY.
Use of Digital WaterMarking…
Attach a watermark on all the pages with the buyers information.
Eg, This eBook was sold to Mr Philip James 08012312312, No Xyz street, GRA Phase 2 LAG, phil@domainname.com, sex: male, DOB: Nov 5, 1971, Last 4 Digits of credit card: 3452. Add your copywright message and warning.
HOW IT WORKS.
Make sure you tie your products to a membership system.(For update, tools, and support). After purchase, your subscribers must sign up and have access to a membership area. (Add value to the members portal).
After payment, use their information to watermark the product before sending to them. Remember to put a line of warning against sharing and the potentials of their sensitive data being shared together.
Most people will not want to share an ebook that has their personal/sensitive information watermarked on ALL the pages. Also threaten to ban the client from the membership portal if they share – since its traceable.
It sounds like an herculean task. yes it is. But its worth it. Remember this will quadruple your sales. The entire process can be automated. You can integrate the watermarking process to your sales funnel.
ebook creation and security as well as advanced sales funnel setup and other topics will be covered in the Technical Section of my upcoming Info Marketing (A – Z) video course that will be launched very soon. That will definitely come after I have cleared my desk. By 17th December, my desk should be cleared (ALL pending projects and issues for 2013).
What other technical aspect would you like me to cover in the video. let me know now, so I can do justice to it. Just like every other product of mine, this video will be win ALL The BEST PRODUCT in 2014.
