FN-FORUM: selling an eBook on Wordpress

date posted 27th February 2008 08:15

Hi Everyone

First post.

I have a client who wants to sell an eBook via PayPal on his Wordpress
blog. I'm very new to this and would appreciate some general pointers
from anyone.
I can make the necessary changes to Wordpress PHP/HTML files - I've
got that far! I've checked out the PayPal Merchant account and I can
see that it is straightforward enough to get a PayPal "Buy" button on
the blog but then things start to get a bit hazy.

The general questions are:
1) Is there a striaghtforward/accepted way of doing this?
2) Is there a way of protecting the eBook from copying (i.e. from
person to person once downloaded, or as a minimum hiding the download
link or something basic like that)?

thanks
Simon
