Jim, I'm finishing up my ezine and want to sell it along with yours at my site. How do I set this up?

For starters, you would upload the .exe, pdf or zip files (your finished e-books) to a new directory at your website, then password protect the directory. Next, you would set up a username and password to access that directory. (I host my site at Virtualis and password protecting a directory is as simple as a few clicks through a web-based interface, with other hosts it can be a bit more difficult.)
When someone buys your ebook, this password protected URL along with username and password, is then included in the email message to your customer. You can send this "delivery" email manually or automatically if you plan to use real-time credit card processing.
Okay, did I confuse you yet? I hope not! It's really not as tricky as it sounds. For more details on the e-commerce process, you can read the following article...
