HELP: Can You Keep Your eBooks From Rip Off Torrent Sites?

It's probably of little comfort, but at least people who are downloading are associating monetary value with the ebook even though they are not paying for it, as opposed to downloading the usual ebook that is offered free. If they like your ebook then they may be prepared to buy the next one, especially if they can't find it on the torrent sites. You could say it is a sign of success that your books are being offered as torrents.

Good luck in detering the torrent sites.

Peeps

These solutions cannot help you once your product is downloaded. All someone has to do is purchase your product, then ask for a refund.They
then have a copy to share with other scumbags.

Sure...they'll purchase your next ebook (and refund it), then share your new product too.

Not True...you are still losing money to the people that are legitimatally looking for your product to purchase and stumble onto a place they can get it free. Those filesharing sites can show up right next to your search results on search engines.

After all that effort...they may purchase your product and get a refund...then share that one alongside your "Viral" one.

Like I said...Any sales you make will be refunded....and so will your commissions.

There Is

Massive time sink, time can never ever ever be replaced. You can however use the time you would have been using doing your suggestion and leveraging that time into money or relaxing / down time before your next scheduled time to " make more money "



Not 100 % accurate their is plenty of legit uses and reasons for people to download torrents , not everyone DL's just to be cheap. Stats show millions of people download torrents. Many many millions of people.... think these are all consumers they have to spend money at some point. Not all torrent users are crooks. You can design an E-book made just for torrents and make a LOT of money off it if done right, I have.



Very very true it can be done. You can also design a good free E-book that does point to a money page for direct sales I know because I have done so.


Ok maybe granted the original thief will indeed share your next product. A reader of the 1st E-book if he/she liked it may also buy it if he/she cannot find it available. Many uploads are not part of a diabolical plot just opportunistic in nature , uploader A's torrent ratio is low ... finds your E-book ( maybe they bought it maybe found on another site whatever ) they upload it knowing others will DL it and fix their ratio. Many down-loaders will not even know the E-book was for sale and NOT a free E-book.

Granted yes many are looking for freebies. But not all sales will get refunded , you seem to confuse average down-loaders with the original crook who stole the content knowing it was a " for sale " book.

Dead wrong in quite a few cases. Ive used links to a money maker page made the sale and kept the sale, I have had also refunds. Refunds less likely if the product your pushing is a physical product such as say a colloidal minerals liquid which obviously gets delivered right to the buyers home. If your info / content is good and pushes the product as it should and the customer feels a real need for said product after reading the E-book and / or going to your money site they will buy. A good E-book will plant the idea in their head that the product is valuable, desirable , maybe even needed or will save the customer time or money or some other good service. As I said earlier in my post their are MILLIONS of down-loaders on torrents its very naive to think none of these millions of people never ever shop online.



Actually Password protected files are now a big major NO NO on torrent sites , posting password protected files can get the up-loader banned. This was partly done to protect legit content owners. All one needs to do who see's their password protected file being shared is to contact the site admins with a link to the file along with anything you can provide to back up the fact you are the content creator which there is many ways of doing.

Now with all due respect and no slam here , its very clear to me your working knowledge on torrents is off base , no offense but if your going to give advice on torrents + making money with them, at least get to know the basic facts of torrents. Is there a lot of " bad " users there ? Sure but their is also tons of potential sales within mega easy reach if done right with low effort. I am sorry if you tried making money using torrents and did not succeed but you shouldn't discourage others and condemn all users of torrents as pirate criminals as I said there are many public use files people look for. other warriors have posted money making methods using torrents which some do work to an extent. Sure if your dealing in selling more digital products you will most likely get a fair number of re-funders that I cannot argue against you are right but to make a blanket claim that Any and All purchases made from an link in a downloaded E-book from a torrent will get refunded 100 % of the time is well.... dead wrong.

Not downing you in the least by the way you brought up many many valid points but some are so far off base it isn't even funny and can lead other warriors away from trying something easy to make good cash with. You can design a hell of a good E-book with the end result to sell a non digital product. I even have a technique that lands me fresh opt ins for my email list and a good number of those leads end up buying from me because I push to them good offers on a subject I already know they have an interest in..... leads I never ever would have had without uploading an E-book to tons of torrent sites. Sure a lot of bad leads but the time / effort ratio is low compared to the good leads I get... also with the way I do things my files stay seeded for years and old E-books still get downloaded ( and I optimize for this and yes you can optimize a torrent ) to this day and still generate me leads years later because I know how torrents work , how to optimize my E-books for the user's ( down-loaders ) of them and put forth my message in a way that makes them want to take action. Most things I end up selling to them end up being something physical however I have successfully sold software via my method. Granted with the method I use I have yet to see anyone else use the same method to " drive " readers to my opt in page...but I am creative and found a way that works for me

PS their is a private torrent site that consists solely of E-books for business which many many IMers use and make a nice income on , granted selling mostly to other IMers but also to others who just go their to DL E-books... I know because I found it through a warrior here and Ive bought Volume 2 and 3's of E-books where the 1st volume was a freebie and my purchase was far from unique.

End of mini dialog but to sum it up not all torrent users ( down-loaders) are crooks and thieves ( many up-loaders are however as many times the up-loader knows he / she is pirating ), and you can make money off torrents if done right, you can use the right affiliate link ( on some torrent sites , some ban you for uploading anything with an affiliate link but there is ways around this.... ) You can build your opt in list , drive targeted traffic to your money site and close legit sales ,again if done right.... It has to be done differently in my experience then other forms and techniques of internet marketing but is extremely do-able with a low effort ratio for the gain you can get if you do it the Right way.
