Creating Downloadable Products

I've taken a brief break from the payment aspect of my business to look at how to convert the lessons in my  'How to Make Money Writing Books for Children' course to a downloadable format.

I had some pretty large files (over 30MB just for the front cover of 1 lesson!). With a little trial and error and experimentation, I have managed to reduce these down to less than 0.5MB for an entire lesson, including the front cover. I've also found a great tool to merge a number of PDF files together.

At the moment I'm working on a way to secure the downloadable lessons to block the free distribution of links to my products. After all, I don't want to give my products away after all this hard work! The secure links will integrate with PayPal. As soon as I've worked out how to set this up, I'll return to this Blog and provide a link to a demonstration where you'll be able to securely download a file from my BiziLizi website and read about how I developed the solution.

Thanks for following my Blog.
