How to Prevent 99,99% of Your E-Book/Course Leaks and Even Make Money from It!
Eh, leaks are the biggest nightmare of E-Book/Course creators; most of people will tell you, “JuSt LeT ThEm LeAk YoUr BoOk/cOuRsE YoU CaNt Do AnYtHiNg AbOuT It” without any knowledge of how bad it feels that your hard work just got out there for free! That’s why I’ve looked and researched the best ways to protect my E-Books (I will do so for courses if I make one in the future as well).
To protect the e-book from 99,99% of leakers, you should use HelpRange and Sellix/Sell.app together, but that won’t stop someone who is really savvy, but this next trick will:
Scenario
Your E-Book gets leaked onto the EDollarEarn website; this is a forum run by brookies who even refund e-books, as they have done so for my friend. Anyway, let’s say your E-Book name is “Make Money”
Step 1
Go to Ahrefs/SEM Rush or any other keyword tool, but those two are the best, Google Keywords Planner could work too, or a simple Google search site: https://edollarearn.to/.That Google Search will get you a lot of links that are clicked the most on Google from their website.
When you’ve found 30-50, most traffic leaks, it’s time to act:
Check on average how much their top 30-50 links bring them traffic, then contact them somewhere saying that all those links will be deindexed if they don’t remove your content (You should do this after you’ve asked nicely(If they ignore the nice way)). Now, most of them will decide just to remove your content as they don’t want to lose traffic, but in rare cases they don’t, you go to step 2.
Step 2
Go and contact all those 30-50 courses/e-books/software owners and ask them if they’re interested in getting their product removed from Google search leak websites for $$-$$$. I haven’t done this personally, as I usually managed to make them remove it before I came to this step, but some of those creators would probably agree to this. Even if they don’t want to pay you, you can ask them to clean those URLS from Google for them for free, which 95% of people would agree on. Now, just submit Google DMCA report; when all those links are de-indexed from Google, the site that leaked your E-Book/Course will lose a bunch of traffic. Now mail/contact them again, asking them to remove your content, or you will continue until they have no traffic coming from Google left. 99% Of them will agree on removing your e-book/course now, and if they don’t, just let it be as they’ve already probably lost 40-50% of their traffic, or you can be a crusader and hire a VA to keep going until they lose 90% of Google traffic.
For those of you wondering how to file a Google DMCA, here’s a form, it’s quite simple process.
