how create download link - clarknight - 12-28-2008
To David.
I am selling a PDF E-book of my web site and other vision improvement stuff...
Have customers but do not know how to send them a 'download link' through email like you and Ester, (visions of joy) do when you sell me a ebook.
Can I do this myself with special software?
Or, do I need to join a book service?
Do some web hosting services provide this?

No one is ansewering this.
I guess I have to search the web.
Very hard to find this software.
You just upload the file to your website via ftp. I don't think I understand the problem.

I want to give the download link in the customers e-mail.
They just click the e-mail link and the file downloads without the customer going to the site.
Is there a way to link through email to a file on web site?
Maybe my web service the problem.
They say I need to make a password protected page, then can only have 5 customers, no more.
A link to a PDF is the same as a link to a web page. Just put the file name at the end of the link.
<!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.domain.com/book.pdf">www.domain.com/book.pdf</a><!-- w -->
The only problem is most people have the Acrobat Reader plugin for their browser, so it opens the PDF without saving it to disk. That's why I put them in zip files.

Thank you.
You and this site have been a great help to me.
If I ever sell big time i will send you a decent size donation.
I get people that read my website and want to buy the color changing angel lamp.
See lamp on page 25.
A friend makes them but he does it for fun and does not want to sell or give all details.
He does not have or want patent.
I refer readers to your Bates Method Store since you sell full spectrum lights.
I wonder if you tried to build this lamp if they would sell?
Natural Vision Improvement teachers sell color treatment but it cost alot.
The lamp is a do it yourself tool and cost much less.
