How can I sell an E-book

Hi there

I run a moderately popular forum, 6,000 visits a day

I have written an e-book I would like to sell on the forum. Can anyone recommend a method to sell it?

I've worked with OSC in the past, but it's quite complex for this small project

Put a banner on every page with the banner rotator or something advertising it.

Thanks for you reply.

My question is of the actual logistics of accepting payment rather than the marketing promotion.

Setup a paypal account and use one of the paypal mods here to do the payment system. It's simple, and paypal only charges a low % per payment. I do it with my company.

Ok thanks. I'll look into this now.

If anyone wants to add to this, or has any other recommendations, I'd be interested to hear their opinion.

You want to check into podbean.com -- they would take care of payment and delivery.

Keeping it in house, I'd probably use the built in subscription system to handle payment (using paypal most likely), bump them into a purchased usergroup, and let them download the ebook from an attachment in a forum with the appropriate permissions.
