You have your target niche. You have researched that niche to find out what they want. You have found products for your niche and you even have them displayed on your blog and web site. Now what?

Well, now we have to make it EASY for them to purchase from us! When I first started doing business online, I made my customers tell me what they wanted in an EMAIL and then send me a CHECK in the mail. Needless to say, I didn’t have a very successful online business!

Don’t make the same mistakes I made. Make payment methods quick and easy for your customer’s convenience. To succeed in online business, you absolutely MUST accept credit cards. Add a shopping cart and credit card payments to your website, and watch your sales soar!

There are lots of shopping carts to choose from, but if you want to start an EZ web business payment plan, Paypal’s shopping cart is the best way to go. Just go to Paypal and set up a Website Payments Standard account. (It is free, just look under “Merchant Services” on their home page).

Paypal will give you a free shopping cart and the ability to take credit cards, paypal payments and e-checks over the Internet…just like the BIG BOYS!

Just think about it…no monthly fees, no setup fees and no cancellation fees. And you can take credit cards through the Paypal’s shopping cart from people who do not even have a Paypal account! How’s that for convenience! Of course, Paypal will take a little out of each transaction, but then again, every credit card company does that…and Paypal doesn’t take out that much.

Once your payment is received, all you need to do is deliver your product. Information and other electronic products are easily sent by e-mail. For physical products, your best bet is Flat Rate Priority Mail from the US Postal Service.

With flat rate mail, as long as your product can fit in the box, the cost remains the same. USPS gives you the boxes for free, saving you time and hassle. Use your home computer to print out the postage label and simply drop them off at the closest post office. No line-ups, no waiting, no hassle. It really works!
