If you want to
make money online, you'll need to
accept credit cards. Most merchant
accounts let you accept checks and
credit cards.
If you're tight
on cash you can use a system like
PayPal. However, I recommend that
you accept credit cards and checks
directly. Accepting payments like
PayPal are fine as secondary methods
of payments, but don't use them as
your only method.
Why not?
Look at any website that's making
real money and you will see they
accept credit cards directly.
Don't add the "I'm cheap and don't
make money" image by limiting how
you accept payments.
I was very
surprised once I started making
money how many people still don't
trust online ordering. They either
called me and ordered over the phone
or sent in an order form.
If you can take
phone orders, do it. You will be
surprised how many people want to
use this method. This also goes for
mail-in orders. Mail-in orders
accomplishes two things:
-
You need to
put an address for them to send
payment to, which adds
credibility.
-
More people
than you realize will use that
method.
Here are a a
few highly recommended places that
will allow you to sell digital
products (eBooks, etc.) and will
process credits cards and online
checks for you.
