How to Sell My PDF Files for Downloading
Selling the PDF File
1. Create a product sales page that describes the content of the PDF file with the Web design software.
2. Create a 'thank-you' page for customers who buy the PDF.
3. Place a text or image link that points to the PDF's location on the Web server somewhere on the 'thank-you' page. Provide instructions on how to download the software such as 'Right-Click on the link and select Save As to save the PDF to your computer.'
4. Upload the 'thank-you' page and PDF files to the Web server. Record the URLs of each one to a notepad file for later use.
5. Log in to the PayPal account that will be linked to the product sales.
6. Click the 'Merchant Tools' button and select the 'Buy Now Button' from the 'Key Features' area along the right side of the screen.
7. Follow the on-screen instructions to create the 'Buy Now Button.'
8. Copy and paste the URL of the 'thank-you' page from the notepad file into the form field in step 3 of the button creation process that says 'Take customers to this URL when they finish checkout.'
9. Press 'Create Button' and copy the button code to a notepad file for later use.
10. Open the sales page file in the Web design software and paste the button code where the button is supposed to appear.
11. Upload the sales page to the Web server.
12. Test the website by doing a dummy purchase of the PDF from the sales page through the entire PayPal process.
