low-hassle ways to sell alld kinds of tangible and digital goods, products,
merchandize and services via the internet. An independent,
expert overview and review of the available options, it provides easy-to-read advice and decision criteria to help you:
 | Select
the payment service(s) you need - PayPal (and the alternatives!!),
plus credit card merchant accounts... |

By reading this
boot-strap guide you will be able to:
 | Boost
your sales by offering your clients instant purchases 24x7, and flexible
choice of payment methods including echecks, credit and debit cards, bank
transfers... |
 | Capture "impulse sales" -
first impressions count, attention is limited, and initial enthusiasm soon
wanes if your clients can't buy straight away. |
 | Save
yourself hundreds or even thousands of dollars - by avoiding services and
service levels that you don't yet need, and keeping your staff costs for
admin, sales, support and IT to a minimum |
 | Sell "risky" products,
including adult wares (as prohibited by PayPal's Acceptable Usage Policy),
by using one of the alternative payment services. |
A quick-start guide is packed with interactive
hyperlinks to the websites of e-commerce products and services that are suitable
for all kinds of small businesses, whether you sell "intangible"
digital goods or info-products, such as software, shareware, ebooks, images or MP3 music
files - or
real-world goods - soap, cars or cigars...
Using this manual as a jumping-off point it's possible to set up
an account with an online payment provider and to start receiving payments via
the internet in a matter of hours, at low or even no cost!
Joining the ecommerce revolution, and profiting from online sales, is far easier than you thought!
 | Develop
a second income and new skills, in your spare time, with little or no
financial investment. |
 | Run
your own small business from home, or from anywhere with an internet
connection. |
 | Avoid wasting time and money on traps
and dead-ends. Beware so-called online tutorials and reviews - many
lead you to their own products, or to commission-related affiliates. |
 | Don't fall for expensive and complex
corporate e-commerce solutions that you don't yet need. |
