    You upload the .pdf via FTP or cPanl and link to it.

        The easiest way is to have your own domain name on your own hosting account. If you don't have that I am not sure of many ways for you to do this.

        You have to have the PDF file parked somewhere on some kind of server under a domain name. The good news is that hosting is cheap. Just buy a domain name through namecheap and get hosting through hostgator. From there you then CAN link it to your free blog.

        From what I understand from this post you want to sell the pdf. If thats the case the easy way to do it is by uploading the pdf through Sell eBooks, Files, Downloads, Digital Products with Paypal - UPLOADnSELL.com (not an affiliate link) and from there taking your download link and adding it to your site.

        That's the simplest way to do it and it should only take a few minutes, even on a free blog.

          Hey this is kinda cool...never seen it before. Thanks for sharing! I might try it here in the future! The only issue I see with this is that they put advertising on the download pages. That could potentially cause the customer to click away from downloading the product. But if the customer already paid for it, I would think they would probably come back after clicking on an ad.

            Hi,
            There are many site which offer free PDF file uploading services. For this you have to sign up for a PDF document sharing account. Only a couple websites offer free services which specialize in hosting PDF files online.

      You need to upload it to your domain first using FTP and then put the link inside your blog or website.

      FYI, i had seen your blogspot , i suggest that you put an opt in first inside it and if some one want to download your PDF they must enter they name and email first ...in the same time your building your own list...

    Hey, uploadnsell allows PDFs, ZIPs and a handful of other file types. But sometimes you get error because we don't take files with spaces, commas or anything like that. Kinda a filesystem issue. Rename your file to having only alphabets, numbers, dashes and/or underscores.

    Yes, yes ... I built uploadnsell.com...

    I'd highly suggest using self-hosted Wordpress, it'll be far more professional especially if you're intending to sell your product on your blog.

    If you're using self-hosted Wordpress, all you really need to do is click the "Add Media" button on the page you're intending to insert your PDF, and then upload the file. Really simple and straightforward, let us know if you're able to do it.
