How to sell a self-made C++ Programming notes PDF online and make money from it?
Hey everyone,
So I’ve spent a really long time making a super structured and detailed PDF guide for C++ programming. I think it’s genuinely helpful for beginners, and I want to try selling it online as a digital product to make some extra cash. Problem is, I’m
totally new to this and have no idea where to start.
I have a few questions if anyone has done this before:
What are the best low-fee platforms to host and sell a PDF? I know about Gumroad, but are there better or cheaper alternatives, especially for student-focused stuff?
How do I handle the payment side securely? I want to make sure it's safe for both me and the buyer.
What’s the best way to market it without being that annoying spammy guy? Like, is it a good idea to share snippets on LinkedIn, Reddit, or Discord? How do I get people to actually see it?
How do I stop people from just pirating it? Is there any way to protect the PDF so one person doesn't just buy it and then leak the link to everyone for free?
Would really appreciate any step-by-step tips or platform recommendations from anyone who has sold digital notes before. Thanks a lot!
