The BRW Fast 100 list has established a reputation as being the premier guide to the fastest growing small and medium businesses in Australia. The annual list ranks Australias 100 fastest growing small and medium enterprises as measured by their annual revenue growth over a three year period. Companies from all of Australias major vertical industries are represented in the Fast 100 list which is prepared in collaboration with Melbourne-based RMIT University.

After carefully weighing our decision to enter into this public ranking, Sense of Security is excited to take part in the 2009 BRW Fast 100. Though modesty ordinarily dictates that we let our skills and our experience do the talking for us, we have however, made up our minds that it is about time that we have our business performance independently rated against our competition. By participating in the 2009 BRW Fast 100 we get the chance to prove what we always believed. That our company is one of Australias top upcoming businesses.

In addition, businesses that derived more than 50% of their turnover from a single client were ineligible to participate.

One challenge when you sell information online is how easy it can be shared. Utilizing Clickbank is one way you can limit this. The payment processor is designed to limit unauthorized access at the point of payment.

How does it limit access? After creating a sales page to describe the product you link to Clickbank. There is a buy it now button that you can add through Clickbank that will capture the credit card information that the customer puts in. Upon entering valid information and having the necessary funds available, the link to download the product is provided to the customer. This is the only way the download link can be accessed. This provides some protection for you.

However, once a customer has that link, he or she can download your product and share it with everyone. How do you protect yourself even after payment has been received?

If you are looking for a way to protect your products when you sell information online, one way to do so is by using a membership website with a password. What you do is place the information you want to offer on a webpage instead of in ebook format. For example, on my website, they have to use their user name and password and their account is linked to their payment information. When you sell a $700 course with a $97 per month membership subscription, protecting your information is important. You do not want that type of information being shared. I do not care as much if I am selling a $27 ebook.

With most products, especially in niches where the buyer tends to be more honest, sharing is not a major issue. One technique to limit sharing is to use the honor system by reminding your readers at the beginning of the ebook that it is not free and giving them a way to report violators who choose to share the ebook without permission. Many people who read such a statement will abide by it. They do not want to be considered thieves and will abide by your request.

The bottom line is that unless you keep your information on a password protected membership website or use PDF protection software, there is not much you can do to stop sharing when you sell information online.

One challenge when you sell information online is how easy it can be shared. Utilizing Clickbank is one way you can limit this. The payment processor is designed to limit unauthorized access at the point of payment.

How does Clickbank protect you? You create a sales page to market the ebook that you are selling. The person buying it clicks on the buy link on your sales page and is promoted by Clickbank to enter payment information. If the information entered results in a payment being made, Clickbank sends the customer to your download page. If not, Clickbank blocks them. Therefore they can only get to your page if they pay for your product.

What happens after the customer pays for the ebook and downloads it to their computer? There is nothing that prevents that customer from sharing your ebook with everyone because the PDF document can be easily shared.

One possible solution when you sell information online is to use a password protection membership website to control distribution of the ebook. Instead of placing the information in a PDF, you keep it on one of these websites. When someone accesses a product that I have on one of these websites, they need to enter their user name and password and if there is a problem with payment they cannot see the information. I have a main course that costs $700 and has a $97 monthly subscription. That is not something I want being distributed for free. On the other hand, I might not care as much for a $27 ebook.

There are some cases, particularly in Christian and other morality based markets where sharing is not as big of a concern. Often you can simply use the honor system to discourage sharing. What you do is note in the ebook that this is not a free product and that if the reader received the product for free to report the person sharing back to you and delete or purchase the product. You might be surprised by how many people will actually report back to you and either delete or purchase the product. Many people are honest about this type of thing.

Simply put, unless you protect the information itself and not just at the point of payment, customers can share your information with anyone that they want to share it with when you sell information online.
