When you make your living on the Internet, you sometimes forget that
the resources you use every day (and take for granted) might rate an
incredible discovery to anyone who doesn't already know they exist.
Whether they help you make money, save time, save money, or avoid
frustration, these ecommerce tools and services rate my highest
recommendation for anyone who conducts any form of ecommerce online.
ClickBank.com -
If you sell a downloadable product such as an ebook, report, or
software, you can't beat ClickBank for processing credit card
payments. Not only do they take the payments and send you a check
twice a month, they also plug your product into an existing network
with tens-of-thousands of affiliates who can sell it for you. Also,
unlike a traditional merchant credit card processing account,
ClickBank assumes all the fraud risk and prevents many of the
"horror" stories you hear in connection with online credit card
processing.
MySiteSales.com -
Since ClickBank only allows the sale of downloadable products,
MySiteSales.com comes to the rescue for anyone selling a physical
product or service. Offering a suite of integrated product catalogs,
follow up autoresponders, advertising tracking, a secure server, and
even limited-time coupon offers, this tool rates a "must have" for
setting up and integrating a professional ecommerce solution on
virtually any size website.
Aweber.com -
If you need an unlimited number of follow up autoresponders and the
ability to send an email "broadcast" to all your contacts at one
time, Aweber offers an excellent managed solution. Specializing in
helping small to medium-sized Web businesses implement an effective
email follow-up strategy without complicated software, Aweber gets
our highest marks for service and dependability.
GoDaddy.com -
Cheap, reliable, easy-to-use domain name registrar that only charges
$8.95 per year for each domain name you register. Godaddy rates
cheaper and just as, if not more, reliable than any other domain
registrar. They also offer a "private registration" option that
allows you to keep your identity as the domain owner a secret from
unscrupulous people who exploit domain name records to compile
mailing lists, spam databases or worse.
FrontierPowerHosting.com -
Any successful ecommerce endeavor begins with a solid website
hosting service. Nothing shuts you down faster than an unreliable
web host because, the second they go offline, your business goes
offline. I host one of my servers at FrontierPowerHosting.com
because of great customer service and guaranteed up-time.
ClipArt.com -
Ever pulled your hair out searching for that perfect image, photo,
or piece of clipart for your website? Once you exhaust the Microsoft
collection on your computer, the next stop (if you want to find
something fast) is Clipart.com. With thousands of images searchable
by keyword, you can always find the perfect image in less time and
without the worries of copyright infringement if you just pull
something off the Web.
Google.com/Adsense/ -
Website got traffic but no making much money? Open a free account
with Google AdSense and earn a commission any time someone clicks on
any of the targeted ads. An excellent way to earn extra cash on
virtually any website.
