Can You Stop Sharing When You Sell Information Online In Ebooks?
One challenge when you sell information online is how easily it can be shared. Utilizing Clickbank is one way you can limit this. The payment processor is designed to limit unauthorized access at the point of payment.
How does Clickbank protect you? You create a sales page to market the ebook that you are selling. The person buying it clicks on the buy link on your sales page and is promoted by Clickbank to enter payment information. If the information entered results in a payment being made, Clickbank sends the customer to your download page. If not, Clickbank blocks them. Therefore they can only get to your page if they pay for your product.
The limitation with Clickbank is that it cannot protect you from a paying customer who shares your product. Once a customer pays for and downloads your product, they can share it with whomever they want.
One possible solution when you sell information online is to use a password protection membership website to control distribution of the ebook. Instead of placing the information in a PDF, you keep it on one of these websites. When someone accesses a product that I have on one of these websites, they need to enter their user name and password and if there is a problem with payment they cannot see the information. I have a main course that costs $700 and has a $97 monthly subscription. That is not something I want being distributed for free. On the other hand, I might not care as much for a $27 ebook.
If only some people share it or your niche is a Christian or home school niche, ideally you will not have to deal with blatant sharing. One good idea is to include in your product a phrase such as "This is not a free ebook. If you received this without paying for it, please delete it and email me letting me know who shared it with you." Most people are honest and will delete it. They know that they should not have the book and will delete it without a problem because of their honesty.
The only way to protect your information from being shared is using a password or a PDF protection application as other methods are not fool proof and your information can still be shared when you sell information online.

Revenue Streams for Websites
- Too funny, I was just reading a book: Multiple Streams of Internet Income: How Ordinary People make extraordinary money on line, by Robert G. Allen. 2001
That's a misnomer, though - they're not ordinary people, they're people with established careers who can take their expertise and exploit it on the web.
Ways to generate income?
1) Sell your own material on the site. Ebooks, etc.
2) Join various affiliate programs that match what your website is about.
3) Google adsense - All my money comes from this... it's started out slow but as readership of my sites grown, the income has grown. Nothing to write home about yet...
4) Google adwords - the advertisers whose ads show up on Google Adsense. Unless you're selling big ticket items on your site you don't want to use it, your keywords can cost from 20 cents upwards.
