Help Needed - eBook download page

9 replies
I would be most grateful if someone could give a site where I can get a free application for setting up an eBook download page. I also need some kind of free tutorial for preparing an eBook download page.

I'll be grateful for any kind of help - Thanks

    Try Kompozer - it's free and looks just like a word processor. Just type in your copy and add your links then save it as a html page, upload it to your server and away you go.

    I understand our tendency to reduce our expenses... but maybe you should consider sometimes what is called "investment in my business"

    A download page is just another html page/file like any others. You do NOT need any special application for it.

    If you are around the net - I would guess you have some kind of html editor. Even Notepad would work, if you know what you are doing.

    HTML Code:
    <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
    <html>
      <head>
      <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
     
      <title>Get your stuff here</title>
      </head>
      <body>
    <a href="http://URL-where-your-zip-file-is-uploaded">Download your stuff</a>
      </body>
    </html>
    Save it, name whatever.html - and direct your buyers or subscribers to it.

    Now, if you want to protect it, so only legit buyers can access it - you will need some script but since you want everything free... I don't know what to suggest. Maybe to use e-junkie for $5/month...?

      Thank you so much for your detailed mini-tutorial! Concerning download protection - I'll see what I can do about it. At the moment I haven't even got a budget for a War Room Membership.

      Anyway, thanks for your valuable advice.

    I've tried many and they are so complicated. Try this, it's free
    and it worked very well. acrobat.com
    Here is an example of an ebook I created with acrobat.
