Hi: I just posted this under new members but will post here as well.

I want to build a website to sell information only, not a product. This site will start on page 1, which I will have my sales pitch on it and the price of the information that I am selling the information for. At the bottom of page 1, there will be the standard e-commerce fill in forms such as a credit card and number, the person’s name etc.

When the credit card is approved and accepted, then and only then, the website will go on to the next pages where all my information is that I am selling. At this time, the customer can read this information and/or print or copy it they want to.

Again it is most important that the reader of this website cannot get to this information ‘for sale’ until after the give me a credit card number.

I might be wrong but I think this is the only way to sell information on the internet and make sure that you still get paid.

I really do not want to learn HTML programming if I do not have to but I will if that is the only way. I would rather use one of the many website building software programs out there where I could set up my website with out the programming knowledge.

Questions:
(1) How does one go about setting up the first page to do the above as descried? (2) If it can’t be done the way described in the above, do you know of another way to sell information on the internet and get paid for it?
(3) Is there any software programs out there that I can buy that will do this or am I going to have to learn HTML?

Thank you,
