@FIFA07Pro Bro that's a stupid question, just edit the website via your hosting provider. Linking it with your native IDE so that you can access your code anytime and edit it anywhere
Not necessarily. There are many free options nowadays to host a site if you just want to place a downloadable link. Wix, weebly, wordpress etc or you could even just advertise using youtube and place the link in the description. check out my video on selling from youtube ua-cam.com/video/AnIPMa_SXhM/v-deo.html . This would make a totally free way of selling your digital product.
@Artistic Princess Perfume Never looked at those sites. It is merely a way of putting a downloadable link somewhere that you can sell a digital product.
When I copy the link on the wordpress site I get text only of the different payment options I gave in the dropdown menu. It never shows the actual button :(
Hello there, we don't use a website so the code in our case is not usable, I guess, but I noticed there is also email option, I wonder how different the email option is from the code. I wish you had it included in your video. ;) thanks michael
I have done a video here that might help. You can add a link on any site. In the video I show how you could add link on youtube to sell using paypal and google drive but the principle will work on most sites i.e facebook, twitter etc. Hope this helps ua-cam.com/video/AnIPMa_SXhM/v-deo.html
Go to tools and then business paypal setup. From here make sure you choose the option to include payments from credit cards. before creating the button. I have found paypal confusing myself. I will do a video this weekend going through the process which should help.
Secured PDF files are really view only. I have found ways of downloading secured files from Google drive from Inspect element but it would not work with Paypal. There might be an app from Google I will look over the next few days.
I have a Shopify account and I want to include online courses using my google drive. How do I ensure that only those who oh for it get access to the link.
You'd be able to do that with Shopify and keep it secured, or at least relatively secured, through their digital downloads. This technique is useful for people who don't have ecommerce websites, or websites that don't have a good built-in digital downloads manager, like Weebly for example(very cheap and good website builder, but you can't sell digital downloads without having to email the customer the link manually). Anything that is downloadable can be uploadable by someone else, but the vast majority of people won't share your stuff to the world to undercut you. Its a common fear creators have, but rarely run into until they're super successful and have a gigantic reach. You could also look into Patreon and uploading courses through there. You could sell the courses individually or by monthly subscriptions and upload courses 1 bit at a time.
I have just had a look. The other alternatives are paying by credit or debit card but as it is owned by paypal they will not have other similar sites on theirs such as google pay.
hello, I have a queation. What happens in someone buy your file first, and then get the Google Drive link, and copy the link and share it with someone else, does that other person can still download your file but without paying it? Is there a way to make sure that doesn't happen?
Very informative video, Damian. Thank you! The only problem I had following your instructions is when we went to the part where you mentioned your Web site but I don't have it. I tried to paste the URL link in the post ad on fb, but it didn't work. So do I must have website or there is another way? I thought it was enough only to use paypal and google drive. Thank you!
Hi Damian. This works, thank you! But there is one little problem.. I received a payment from the customer on my PayPal, but he was unable to download the PDF so I had to email it to him. I guess the problem is that my PDF on drive is not like in your video password-locked (secured) but just simple PDF. When the customer failed to download the file, I received a notification in the mail that the customer asked me to give him access to the drive. I guess I have to convert the PDF in secured format?
You need to learn Backend Development and integrate paypal transaction on the server side by making a login system, using a middleware, which would prevent unauthorised access to the link.
You can put the link where you want. Yes I believe it works on Twitter but never looked at Discord. I have done another video of how you can add the link on youtube. This will apply to pretty much anywhere that allows the link
Good Idea .. Just one question. How do you prevent people from sharing the link address with each other after they payed and received the link.. Could it not be copied and pasted or saved and accessed or leaked?
Thanks also another question once they buy they can copy the link only to share that link of the google drive document with other people right?Also can you please make a tutoriel on how to copyright a document to turn off sharing? Much appreciated!
They will only have the document once they pay through paypal. They will have no link to your google drive only paypal does. There would be no real way to stop them from sharing your document but would they want to. As for copyright it would just be putting your name I the footer or the meta tags etc.
Ok i understand better now, thanks a lot for the helpful information because I really needed it because I write and sell ebooks and PDF documents and was finding a solution anyways thanks a lot
Only if the link itself downloads. You might want to experiment to see what is seen. If it is only the download itself then there should be no problem. I am not actually certain myself now as it was quite a while ago since I done it.
I want to ask if anyone has purchased the link, and if it is shared it on WhatsApp or any other media, the drive will be accessible directly. How to avoid that?
Sir can you elaborate the last step when you copy the code and where you past it. and it can be past in gmail then clients can buy directly from email pls lets me know or any other way, I don't have a website
Watch my other video on selling directly from youtube with google drive and paypal which would also work on email. I will do a video on this shortlyua-cam.com/video/AnIPMa_SXhM/v-deo.html
Thanks for the video. How do you secure that link so no one else can access it and download it for free, also, when they click on the link it takes them to your own google drive account, this happened when I tested it out by emailing the link? I want to add to my wordpress site. Thanks.
The link is secured through paypal. You must have just put the google drive link on which becomes shareable to anyone. You get the shareable link from google drive and create a button with it on paypal then put that on your wordpress site. They can then only get the download once paid.
I add my paypal link in my youtube..when i click that link..it's says..things don't appear to be working at the moment..please try later..so any solution for that.
I don't hv my website only youtube channel,so When i create button in paypal,i get html code and email..so I choose email and link in my youtube channel description,when I click that link it doesn't show me paypal button its says things don't appear to be working at this moment plz try later...y i don't know..here is the link ..just check out onces.. ua-cam.com/video/zGW5GxBDt8I/v-deo.html
I shall look into this soon and if I find a way I will do a video on it and show you. I did not know you got email option so have never tried it but will try this weekend and explore it. Hope you get it solved.
Hi Bikay. I have just done another video on selling digital goods with google drive and paypal direct from youtube and also used the email option this time which I never knew was there before. The link I placed in description section of parallax scrolling video. It works perfectly for me not sure what exactly you have done wrong. Is the shareable link correct.
I only have a paypal personal account My question : Could my Paypal account not be closed or subject to a limitation? It is also limited when selling electronic books, keys, or serials on eBay ?
Is it okay to pop books on google drive just under the setting "anyone with link can see and download?" Might that give the person license to share the link with anyone they know? How might I combat that?
@@damianfallon i would really like to set up something where the book can be downloaded from my website but they have to pay for it. I don't want them to be able to then share a downloadable link with anyone
Can I make a variable link of the actual product whenever someone buys it? I mean what If the purchaser shares or leaks the download link to everyone? So in this case no other would pay me to get that product.
Hi great explanation thank you,,,but is it also possible to link to UA-cam,,eg i have samples on UA-cam ,,how can i take a customer from yt to a purchase,, many thanks in advance,,, another vid would be awesome,,but if its simple enough to explain in a reply that would also be great
Yes Follow this link and watch my video on how to do this. Sorry about late reply. I never saw the comment. damianfallon.blogspot.com/2019/08/sell-directly-on-youtube-using-google.html
Superb info, I never thought of this 😃
What about multiple digital products....do I have to create PayPal buttons for every each products
Outstanding info. Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!
man im like you✋
You need a business paypal account for this to work which is still free
@FIFA07Pro You need access to the source code. If you can not use the source code you can also use an email link instead of the HTML code.
@FIFA07Pro Are you using a free website platform like wordpress. On these type of platfoms you would have to upgrade to get access to html and css
@FIFA07Pro Bro that's a stupid question, just edit the website via your hosting provider. Linking it with your native IDE so that you can access your code anytime and edit it anywhere
Hi! Interesting, but I have a personal account on PayPal and is it not possible there?
Thanks
You need to change it to a business account which is still free
Damian Fallon really? Cause I see the option of creating a button in my personal account
@@RachelSmets maybe it is then. I did not realize. Have a go and see.
Thanks for the info straight to the point. You earned a new subscriber sir
You still have to pay for someone to host your site.
Not necessarily. There are many free options nowadays to host a site if you just want to place a downloadable link.

On wordpress you need to upgrade to have control over html and css. Are you pasting into the html.
@@damianfallon Yup. I do have the paying edition as well.

I use to do this but now the button link doesn't offer to pay with credit cards only paypal. What did i miss?
Go to tools and then business paypal setup. From here make sure you choose the option to include payments from credit cards. before creating the button. I have found paypal confusing myself. I will do a video this weekend going through the process which should help.

Hello. Can you explain how you would go about using this method for a pdf that you need secured (for abuse protection)?
Secured PDF files are really view only. I have found ways of downloading secured files from Google drive from Inspect element but it would not work with Paypal. There might be an app from Google I will look over the next few days.
Hiya Eric. Experimented with secured pdf files and found it works exactly the same way. Done a video on it ua-cam.com/video/jYWX5EMQtik/v-deo.html
@Artistic Princess Perfume Guess it will work as the images will be in a zipped folder. Not tried it on blogger but you have given me an idea to try
I have a Shopify account and I want to include online courses using my google drive. How do I ensure that only those who oh for it get access to the link.

Hi friend is it necessary that money sender have PayPal ac. or they can even send through UPI (Google pay , paytm etc ..).when they click on pay now .
I have just had a look. The other alternatives are paying by credit or debit card but as it is owned by paypal they will not have other similar sites on theirs such as google pay.
hello, I have a queation. What happens in someone buy your file first, and then get the Google Drive link, and copy the link and share it with someone else, does that other person can still download your file but without paying it? Is there a way to make sure that doesn't happen?
They get the download not the link

Thanks! Exactly what I needed to know.
Then anyone with that link can view the product. What's to keep one purchaser from just giving the link to others?
They download the files after the purchase on paypal so they get the files not the link
You need to learn Backend Development and integrate paypal transaction on the server side by making a login system, using a middleware, which would prevent unauthorised access to the link.
Thank you from Brazil!!
This is brilliant! Thank you for showing this!
What if I do not have a web page? Can I sell this on Discord or say Twitter?
You can put the link where you want. Yes I believe it works on Twitter but never looked at Discord. I have done another video of how you can add the link on youtube. This will apply to pretty much anywhere that allows the link
WAIT. but once someone has the link they can just share it
You get the download not the link
been trying to do this over a year now and it doesn't work. is there more to it, is there anyone here that got through with this so far?
Good Idea .. Just one question. How do you prevent people from sharing the link address with each other after they payed and received the link.. Could it not be copied and pasted or saved and accessed or leaked?
The link address is not shown. They are paying on paypal and the file is downloaded.
Thank you for uploading this amazing video
Thanks a lot, but once downloaded they can share the document with other people?
Not really much you can do about that. You could put a copyright on just too put them off sharing
Thanks also another question once they buy they can copy the link only to share that link of the google drive document with other people right?Also can you please make a tutoriel on how to copyright a document to turn off sharing? Much appreciated!
They will only have the document once they pay through paypal. They will have no link to your google drive only paypal does.

Ok i understand better now, thanks a lot for the helpful information because I really needed it because I write and sell ebooks and PDF documents and was finding a solution anyways thanks a lot
That's the con of digital download. Once shared, it will be anybody's property.
eBay already has a pay pal button, how would I incorporate eBay into the equation instead of the website
But, can the consumer abuse the google drive link and keep re-downloading, or even share the link with other people who have not purchased?
Only if the link itself downloads. You might want to experiment to see what is seen. If it is only the download itself then there should be no problem. I am not actually certain myself now as it was quite a while ago since I done it.
Probably, but that is true of just about every downloadable purchase method.
I want to ask if anyone has purchased the link, and if it is shared it on WhatsApp or any other media, the drive will be accessible directly. How to avoid that?
The drive would not be accessible just the file that you download.
Sir can you elaborate the last step when you copy the code and where you past it. and it can be past in gmail
then clients can buy directly from email pls lets me know or any other way, I don't have a website
