Gumroad, for example, allows you to stamp PDFs with the buyer's email address on the first page only. There are also WordPress tools that can stamp your customers' first and last names, their address, and email address throughout the book. However, all of these methods can be easily circumvented. Users can simply upload your PDF to any site that offers conversions to other formats or copy and paste the text to compile a new PDF free of any stamped material. While you can make it harder for someone to share your work, you cannot completely stop them. Converting a PDF into images is another approach to prevent format conversion, but with AI tools that can recognize text from images, this option is not foolproof either. Password protection is another measure you can take, preventing conversion tools from working since the document is password-protected. There are also tools that only allow users to read online, creating special links that expire after the reading session and generate new ones when accessed again. This method prevents link sharing. Essentially, these steps only add friction to the process and make it more difficult for those who want to share your work without authorization. In summary, while you can make unauthorized sharing more challenging, you cannot entirely prevent it. Here's a summary of the options and their limitations: PDF Stamping: 1. Stamping PDFs with buyer-specific information (e.g., email, name) on the first page or throughout the document. Pros: Personalizes the document, making it easier to trace back to the source if shared. Cons: Easily bypassed by converting the PDF to another format or manually removing the stamped information. Watermarking: 2. Embedding a visible or invisible watermark with buyer-specific information throughout the document. Pros: Harder to remove than a single stamp, discouraging casual sharing. Cons: Advanced tools can sometimes remove watermarks, and AI tools can recognize and replicate text even from watermarked images. 3. Conversion to Images: Converting each page of the document into an image to prevent text extraction. Pros: Prevents easy text copying and conversion to other text-based formats. Cons: AI-powered OCR (Optical Character Recognition) tools can still extract text from images. 4. Password Protection: Encrypting the PDF with a password required to open or modify it. Pros: Adds a layer of security, preventing unauthorized access. Cons: Passwords can be shared along with the document, and some PDF password protections can be bypassed with the right tools. 5. Digital Rights Management (DRM): Using specialized software to restrict how the document can be used (e.g., printing, copying, or sharing). Pros: Provides robust protection with customizable restrictions. Cons: DRM can be expensive and sometimes inconvenient for legitimate users. Some DRM protections can be cracked. Content Monitoring and Takedown: 6. Monitoring the internet for unauthorized copies of your content and sending takedown notices. Pros: Helps to remove unauthorized copies from public sites. Cons: Reactive rather than proactive, and not all sites comply with takedown requests.

Sounds good plus you offer the 50% off promo code!
how many pages was this ebook that she sold ?
Around 25 pages
I was trying to figure out how to price an ebook
After a customer purchases your ebook, how do i protect the info from being shared?
There's not a lot you can do other than making sure you add a copyright notice to every page.
Ok. Thank you!
Love your videos by the way. Very helpful!!

how do we get people to go to our site to purchase our book?
Build, buy, or borrow. Build a social media following, pay for ads, or collaborate. These are the three main ways to get traffic to your landing page.
Do you prefer Designrr or Canva to create ebooks
I just found out about Designrr! I will use it, make a video, and let you know what I think. I've only used Canva so far.
@@fabiennehansen sounds good!
When you create an image size A4 in Canva and then want to size it up to place on a shirt in Printiful, how do you increase size without losing quality of image?
Before you download, just make sure to increase the size and quality. Dm me on Instagram, and I can send you a quick screenshot
@@fabiennehansen ok DM’d you. I thought you had to export from canvas to another program to do that
Ma, please can we just uploade the books like amazon, instead of designing on it
I don't think I understand your question. My Sunday brain :) You don't want to design the ebook?
@@fabiennehansenI think what they mean is, “I already have a completed ebook (in pdf format 😁). How do I upload my completed ebook?”
