Secrets, Part 3: How To Lock Your E-Book With Boomerang List Builder
Copyright

This is the
third article on publishing ebooks
which will cover a software product called Boomerang List Builder,
designed by
Dan Thompson from Yorkshire, UK. Boomerang
List Builder is designed to make it
easy for e-book publishers
to lock their e-books and easy for their customers to get the access
code to
unlock the e-book. Boomerang List Builder works so that when clients
apply for
the access code, they automatically opt-in to the publisher's
newsletter
mailing list.
Here's how the
software works.
What you do is
use Dan's Boomerang List Builder
to lock your e-book and then upload it to a website. The process is
very simple
and nobody who downloads it from that website will be able to open it
until
they get the unlock code. What happens is when they open the file, a
pop-up
will appear asking them to enter the access code. Above that will be a
button
to click for them to get the code. When they click the button it will
take them
to an opt-in form on your website where they enter their name and
e-mail
address in return for the code. The unlock code will then be e-mailed
to them.
This is the exact same process that software companies use when they
give away
their software for a trial period.
Here is a
step-by-step process for you to follow
when using Boomerang List Builder. After each step click the "Next"
button:
Step 1: Open
the Boomerang List Builder software
and search for your e-book on your hard drive.
Step 2: Enter
the title of your e-book.
Step 3: Choose
how you want your e-book to be
locked. For most purposes, choose the "immediate registration"
option.
Step 4: Enter a
code. You can use a fixed code
for all clients, or you can choose any code you want.
Step 5: Enter
the URL of your opt-in form on
your website.
Step 6: Enter
an icon for your e-book if you
have one. If not just skip this step.
Step 7: Enter
your affiliate code if you wish to
promote Boomerang List Builder alongside your e-book. If not, you can
simply
skip this step.
Step 8: Add a
Terms of Service section if you
want to add one, or simply skip this step.
Step 9: Click
the Save button, and you will have
locked your e-book.
That's it; that
is all
there is to using Boomerang List Builder. The locked e-book will be
saved to
your hard drive ready to be uploaded to your website and promoted on
e-book
websites and anywhere else you can think of. Whenever anybody downloads
your
e-book, you have a very good chance of getting that person
to join your newsletter mailing list.
My
next article in this series will cover
suitable e-book publishing sites for you to upload your e-book to.
I
wish you the best of success,
