Selling ebooks and downloads

Three product types deliver files instead of lessons. Ebook, Download and Lead Magnet all open on a Files tab, and all three hand the file over inside the member area rather than attaching it to an email.

An ebook is one PDF. On the Files tab click Choose PDF and pick from your media library. An ebook holds a single file, so choosing a new PDF replaces the current one.

A download is a bundle. Use Add document, Add image, Add video or Add audio to attach as many files as the product needs. Rows can be reordered with the up and down buttons and removed with the bin icon. The order you set is the order members see.

A lead magnet is a download that is always free. It uses the same Files tab and the same delivery page, and its pricing is locked to free. Attach a lead magnet product to a funnel opt-in step and everyone who submits that form is granted it automatically, with a set-password invite if they are new to you.

What the buyer gets. After a purchase or a manual grant the product appears in that member's library.

• An ebook opens in a reader. The PDF is displayed inside the page, with an Open in new tab link underneath.
• A download opens a simple list. Each file gets its own Download button.

Files are never publicly linked. Every file is served through a gated route that re-checks the member's access before a single byte moves, so copying a link and passing it to someone else does not work.

Publishing still applies. A file product stays invisible until you press Publish in the product header. Attach the files first, then publish, then either set a price on the Pricing tab or hand out access from the Customers tab.
