Protect your digital assets
Protecting the digital assets is the nightmare for most of companies who are handling digital products. Digital products vulnerable due to their property of easily copied and distributed online. In our criteria we are promoting our eBooks online the following suggestions I can recommend with you is
Register your work with copyright association and it will helps you most of time to protect you interests
To create the affiliate network that having minimum margin to yourself and maximum margin to you affiliate (Being an digital product It will not hurts your pockets)
For example 70= your affiliates 30=you , my idea is to convert the every possible publisher into affiliate so that it can be promoted by everyone so that most of them wouldn’t like to miss this opportunity and don’t want to share free online.
Choose your eBook name most common one so it cannot be easily findable over web .In other words choose the eBook name with most competitive keyword term on search engines so that the eBook stealers don’t locate your book easily with search engines( Most of the digital asset stealers are using , hazardous search engine query techniques for stealing digital assets )
Always look around warez site about distribution of your eBook, when it looks shared try to delete quick before its being duplicated or mirrored with other persons or network. You can contact the file sharing the sites about the copyright violation and request to remove the file from the network
