Before they get to your thank you page, many IM's offer an upsell page for a related product. The buyer is in "buy mode" so make them an offer with a PLR product if you can get one with a "NO THANKS" option BEFORE you send them on to your final product.

Everything else looks kosher with how you've lined everything up.

DLGuard isn't essential, but it will probably save you a lot of hassles once you get it setup.

You can add all your products to the DLGuard admin system (just a case of adding the links to your files which you've stored securely) and then you can create links to these products where you need to.

The main advantage with DLGuard is that it will create secure download pages for your products which you can set to expire after a certain time-limit, making your products more secure.

You can also monitor stats, resend download links, update products, bundle products and bonuses, all from the members area.

I used DLGuard in my business for the last few years, and have only just moved to Nanacast as a custom solution as I wanted my own affiliate program.

If I read you correctly, you're making your customers opt-in to your list after they've made payment.

I would strongly advise against this.

I have been subjected to this and it really pis*ed me off!
To the point where I never bought from them again.

Put an offer on your download page to entice them to opt-in but don't make it mandatory.

Also, why send them to 2 pages?
Put the download links on the thankyou page.
As well as ads for upsells and/or cross-sells.

This is a quick and easy way to do this;

Yes, definitely use something that guards the download page...I made that mistake for my first ever ebook and #1 in Google was my site, #2 was the product page with the book there for all to see!

IF you have enough space on your webhosting account for these large files, you can upload them via FTP to your download destination.

IF you do NOT have enough space on your current webhost package then you may want to get another larger hosting package to upload them to and keep that as a download location site for other files you may have.

Then you must link the download page links to the download location, even if it is on another account.

Then Test Test Test to see whether you can access the files that you put up. Many people forget this step.

A simple trick to guard download location is to put them into a new folder and have an index page for that folder.

This index page actually *refreshes* to the main sales page again, or to another page/site that you are promoting.

After a few sales, you may want to invest in DL Guard, but since they are large files, they may take some time to download, so please set the expire to maximum.

If this is your main topic of interest, or niche, then you should be finding ways to grab the visitor's details and get them to opt-in so that you can follow up.

Remember, it often takes 7-10 visits to get people to buy, so the best way to get them back to your site is to follow-up.

If possible, use an exit special offer option for (say) $10 off if they leave the site without purchasing.

This has become a popular method of getting business.

Testimonials from happy customers also have a good pull factor, but please limit these to no more than 10.

I love ejunkie...you can put your opt-in form on the product delivery page, and thereby give your buyers the CHOICE to opt-in. Very important to give them that choice as buyers who are forced to opt-in to get their product will not be happy...and won't buy again.

I am going to send you a PM
I know you cant send them yet but hopefuly it will help
