Need advice on handling large file

INTERNET MARKETING

I'm about to launch a product on Clickbank for the first time. I'm not good with files or anything technical, so I hired someone on Fiverr to put everything together in one file. This includes PDFs and some MP3s. The problem is, the total file size turns out to be about 177 MB. I found out that the Wordpress site I was going to store it on won't let me upload a file that large.

What's the best way to handle a large file for a product? I assume having it on a public site wouldn't be secure. Or would it be better to reduce the size of the file somehow, or divide it into several smaller ones?

If any product creators have advice on this, I'd appreciate it!

Won't Clickbank handle the delivery for you? I'm sure they can do products of that size, some of the video products I see there have to be much larger than 177 mb.

  I've promoted Clickbank products but have never been a vendor before. If I understand the process, you have to store the product on your own website.

You can always FTP it to your site if it's too large for WordPress to upload.

Personally, I wouldn't leave your product in a publicly accessible area as it will be very easy to gain access to.

Best to have it password protected.

Download Filezilla. It's free. Once you have it on your computer go to Youtube and watch a video on how to use it. It's a simple drag and drop operation from your computer to your host server via Filezilla. Takes less than a minute.

Dominican, they are not the same content, so people would want both. But you may be right that it's better not to give them too much to download all at once.

Filezilla sounds like a good idea either way.

Sign up for Amazon S3 storage...upload the file there...its really easy and dirt cheap. I think you might even get your first 10GB of transfer a month for free.
