I want to try something I've never done and don't know how to get started. I have information I would like to sell through my website in a downloadable form. What is the best way to do this? Thanks!!!

    I am going to assume that you are talking about a WordPress powered website here, with that said I would recommend using the following plugin.

    WordPress › WordPress Download Manager « WordPress Plugins

    That's a really good plugin, it makes things very simple and does what it is ment to do very well.

    I also agree with @AdrianCostan, it would help to know what information you are talking about. If you are looking to provide your visitors with written content, then maybe a membership plugin would be a more suited. However, if it's anything like PDF's, Audios, Videos.... then the Download Manager plugin I suggested would be your best bet.

    Hope this helps, have a good day

    I chose entrepreneurship over further education despite being laughed at by my friends and family..

    I recently hit the "RESTART" button on my life, read my personal blog to find out how I did it :)

    You can use software like DLguard or E-junkie to easily sell downloadable products from your site.

    I personally use DLguard and have been happy with the features it offers. You can also create membership sites with DLguard.

    You could even setup a simple PayPal buy button. But you wouldn't have the extra functionality of the above tools.

      Thanks for all the great info. My website is a youth sports site and I'm writing information to help parents, coaches, kids, etc. in this field.

    I use DLGuard. It's not free, but it's one of the best purchases I ever made. You can use it for unlimited products. It takes the payment, creates an expiring url for security and delivers the product. Has a lot of other features as well.
