How to Sell PDF Content Securely
Ever felt that unsettling vibe when your carefully crafted PDFs start wandering the internet without your permission?
Yeah, it's a headache.
Enter the classic culprit: download links.
Platforms like Gumroad and Patreon have their pros and cons, but let's be real – that "link to download" situation is like leaving the front door wide open for your digital creations to take an unsupervised stroll.
But fear not! We're diving into the nitty-gritty of this conundrum and introducing you to a game-changer. So grab a comfy seat and get ready for the lowdown on why those innocent-looking download links might be the sneakiest threat to your PDF security.
Sell your PDF content securely for free
You can upload all your best PDFs, e-books, presentations, templates, frameworks, etc. you've created and curated and charge for access to them - all without using a "link to download." All for free.
Problem: download links for PDF content
Alright, picture this: you've just birthed a digital magnum opus, your very own brainchild in the form of a killer PDF. You're on cloud nine, ready to share it with the world. But wait, here comes the buzzkill – download links.
It sounds harmless, right? Well, not quite. Those seemingly innocent links turn out to be the VIP passes to an underground party you never signed up for.
Unlimited downloads, unchecked sharing, and suddenly your creation's gone rogue on the internet. It's the kind of plot twist you didn't sign up for.
Solution: sell your PDFs securely with Kahana
Unlike those traditional platforms that hand out download links like candy, Kahana takes a stand.
Picture this: your PDFs, templates, and frameworks – all snug within a Kahana hub (like the one below), guarded like crown jewels. No downloads, no sneaky business. When someone shells out to access your Kahana hub, they get an all-access pass to your brilliant mind without the luxury of hitting the download button. Your content stays put, safe and sound.
How Kahana Protects and Secures PDF Content
Your audience can seamlessly dive into your PDF content within the Kahana hub – they can view, click through, and interact with it.
You will notice that the option to "Download" a PDF has been disabled - it's greyed out. This is by design.
What if people share the Kahana hub link with others?
Now, here's where Kahana turns the sharing game into a win-win for you! Picture this: your friend loves what you've got going on in your Kahana hub and decides to spread the joy by sharing the link.
Sharing doesn't hurt: it actually helps!
Well, here's the magic – anyone new clicking on that shared link gets a sneak peek through the window but hits a paywall faster than you can say "protect me."
That's right, until they've made the purchase, it's an exclusive window-shopping experience. When someone shares your Kahana hub link with others, each new person will only be able to access the content after they have purchased it.
You can also receive notifications whenever there is a successful purchase and see your list of customers from within your hub. You can even check out your list of customers – all from the comfort of your hub.
