Sell your notes online without handing out the PDF
Notes sold as a PDF tend to travel: one buyer shares the file with the whole class. With DocusPocus you sell access instead of the file. Publish your lecture notes, study guide or solution set as a protected e-book, sell it through your own store or checkout, and buyers read it in the protected reader. DocusPocus takes no commission. AcEdumy delivers its engineering course notes in Turkish, English and Arabic this way.

Questions about selling notes online
Where can I sell my notes online?
On your own store or checkout. DocusPocus is not a marketplace; it protects and delivers your notes, and Shopify, WooCommerce or the Developer API can grant buyers access automatically after payment.
How do I stop buyers from passing my notes around?
Sell access rather than the PDF. Buyers read in the protected reader, the original PDF is never handed over, and printing, if you allow it, carries each buyer's personal watermark.
Can I sell notes for one semester?
Yes. Access can be lifetime or limited to a period, for example 6 months.
Do my buyers need an account?
Yes. Buyers sign in so that access belongs to them. They can read in the browser or in the free desktop Viewer.
Can I start for free?
The free plan includes 1 e-book, 1 zone, 100 managed members and 1 GB of storage. Paid plans start at $3.99 per month, and DocusPocus never takes a commission on your sales.
Share your document with peace of mind.
Your file stays encrypted, opens only for the people you allow, and you decide how long they can read it.
