Hi Fastlaners,
I am building a business to sold digital products through an Ecommerce website. I am close to get my MVP and I will start to build the website soon.
This first product will be purchasable through one-time paiements. You pay, you download it (through a link or an incoming email, I don't know yet).
As it's digital, it can be easily duplicated. A customer could pay once and share it with his colleagues/family/friends, for free.
I know many of you sell digital courses/ebooks/products. How do you deal with that?
As I want to lauch my product and my site asap to get a proof of value, I will keep it simple so this subscription program would come in a second time.
Sorry if this topic has already been discussed. I did not find anything on my side. Thanks in advance for your insights.

- My main idea would be to propose a subscription program alongside those one time paiements. Customer would have the choice to pay each month to get access to any update of those products + various features (newsletter, exclusive products, some private Discord/Telegram... I don't know yet). It will generate reccuring income and customer loyalty. Good idea?

- My other idea would be to protect my files from sharing in a way or another (encryption, etc.). I see many barriers to this as it would require more technical skills and it would probably complexify the product (and I want it easy and fast to use).
