Since I did this Mark Mason has come out with an excellent guide on the subject at http://www.firstebooknow.com/ If you use PayPal you just create a buy now button from within "merchant services" in your PayPal account. Before you generate the button there are some options and one is the return URL. That would be your download page. @ Tom – I do need to finish this up.

One question I have is what do you do so people can download from your website and how does that work with paypal so you get paid? Thanks Josh, I know it’s been a year since part 3, but have you considered doing a part 4?

One question I have is what do you do so people can download from your website and how does that work with paypal so you get paid?

Thanks

I need to finish this old series off. Thanks for the reminder. I do recommend adwords and PPC in general, but ONLY if you know what you're doing. PPC is a great way to make alot of money, but it's also a great way to lose alot of money! @ Michelle – You got me… I need to finish this old series off. Thanks for the reminder.

Hey Josh, where is Part 4???? I am hoping you will cover off whether you think Adwords is worth using to market an ebook. My keywords are super expensive so think no but then think what about some long tail low cost keywords, is it worth doing? I'd love to be able to say I've never paid for advertising to my product but without sales under my belt I wonder what other's do and what you'd advise. Cheers.

It took me about 10 minutes to download with 10.0 cable which is extremely slow :) @ Vern - No problem, I'm glad you like it. Ever since I started using OO I don't touch Word. @ Maurice - No problem. I haven't tried anything other thatn Dlguard and I know I never will. It's one of those things that I just know couldn't get any better :) I really love it that much. @ Opportunity - Thanks for stopping by. When you get a minute please read my <a href="http://ez-onlinemoney.com/blog/comment-policy/" rel="nofollow">comment policy</a> :) The order isn't extremely important in my opinion. I just had to put it all in some kind of an order. I start promoting early for the exact reason you stated, to get people's email. They aren't paying yet, they are just signing up to get notified when the product launches. If people complain that you're spamming the forum you need to analyze your technique. It's not about announcing your product. You just have a link in your sig (if the forum in particular allows it) and you answer questions related to the topic of your product. No direct marketing. No marketing at all actually. You're just participating and when you you're helpful people look at your sig. @ Steve – I forgot to mention it’s a large program.

I've been using OpenOffice on one of my PCs for about 3 years now. I was actually recommended by our IT guy, and it does work great. I use Word on my other machine and I've never had a problem with compatibility between them. About your series, one question. When I create an e-book, I also do the sales letter first. In some cases I'll even use it as an outline for the book itself. Why do you begin promoting it so early. I typically wait until it's about half done before I actually do any promotion. I agree, it's a great idea to get pre release buzz, but if you begin this early, how do you deal with the fact you have no product? Do you just get everyone on a pre release mailing list? I guess that would actually be a great way to have a good number of copies pre-sold before you went to press. I've had problems in forums with pre-release publicity, because people think you're spamming the forum. I guess in a way, they're right. Thanks for the great series (and the rest of the blog) Josh,
