Paypal will work, so will Clickbank.com (which gives you a few more options in terms of offering affiliates the ability to sell your product and earn a commission that you set). There are two ways to handle the download link...one is that you can put the link right on your "Thank you" page - another html webpage you create in Frontpage that your customer is redirected to after they complete the Paypal sale. In this case, you place your 12-page ebook in another directory on your webhost...say you call it "down123" and then upload your ebook into that directory using your webhost control panel or an FTP program. Then, on your html "thank you page" you have a link that sais "Download Your Ebook Here" which links directly to your ebook file - the link would look like: http://www.yoursite.com/down123/yourebookfile.pdf - as an example. The other option is to simply send them to a thank you page that indicates they will be getting an email with the download link minutes after the sale - both paypal and clickbank allow you to customize an email that is sent after successful order - you would customize the email to include the same download link as above. Hope that helps explain things...

The couse didn't teach me how to produce a website to sell information. If I produce a sales page with a button at the bottom (click here to download )how do i link that with PayPal to sell a 12 page ebook. Do I put the 12 page ebook on another webpage (on the same website )and link the sales page to it with paypal (or what). What are the practical steps to building such a website What are the practical steps Can you recommend a book or website or something else that might help. Are there websites that do it all for you JOHN D One year ago I did a course on MS Frontpage (a website design package ).I'm still not all that familiar with it and really need to do the course again to make myself more familar.
