Creating a Download Page
Creating a Download Page
In order for your customers to download your eBook, you will need to create a 'Thank you' web page, also known as a 'Download' page. This page is simply a web page that includes some brief instructions in regard to downloading your eBook and a download link.
If you're using a payment processor, such as ClickBank or PayPal, to enable you to accept payment through your web site, they will ask you for the web address of your 'Thank you' page. This is the page your customers will be taken to once they complete their purchase.
To create a download link on your 'Thank you' page, most servers will allow you to simply link to the web address like this:
yourdomain.com/ebook.exe">Download</A>
Edit the text indicated in red to suit your needs. The link address must lead to your ebook file on your web server.
If this method of linking doesn't work for you, contact your server administrator for assistance.
In addition to including a download link, you should also include the following note:
