8 Ways to Make Money Online with Paid Blogging

451 Press is a network of blogs covering a wide range of topics. Their writers earn a flat $1-$2 rate per blog post, along with an additional $1.50 for every 1,000 views the post receives, and 40% of the ad revenue generated by their pages. Potential bloggers must submit a few writing samples to be considered. 451 Press provides a large list of possible topics for new blogs, but you may also suggest a new topic when you sign up.

B5media is a large network of individual blogs. If you are an active blogger that can write at least 6-8 posts per week, you can apply to write for one of their blogs. You can either suggest an idea for a new blog, or apply to join their network with your existing blog. There is a short screening process where you must provide samples of your writing. Bloggers for B5media reportedly earn a few hundred dollars per month.

BlogChex is a blog hosting service that will host your blog for free. You can choose to start a new blog or migrate an existing blog to BlogChex. They also share their ad revenue with their users or will even find specific advertising for blogs, though they are a little vague about this as the site is still a work in progress. BlogChex also allows you to place Google Adsense ads on your blogs to earn more. For first time bloggers, BlogChex is worth a try.

Blogitive is a sponsored blog site that allows you to browse offers from different advertisers and then get paid to write a blog post about them. Blogitive pays $5 per post on average, though they state this varies depending on the offer. They also have a few extra services that you can try, such as being paid to list news headlines on your blog and be paid when visitors click on them, or to be paid to write for blogs other than your own. To apply, your blog must be at least 3 months old and be regularly updated (at least 3 posts per week).

Blogging Ads offers a very easy way to get involved with sponsored blog posts. After signing up, you can browse through different "ads" for other sites. These ads are basically designed as short blog posts that you insert into your own blog and are paid about $5 each for. You are limited to 3 of these per month in a single blog, or up to 10 per month if you register multiple blogs. To qualify, your blog must be at least 3 months old and have a minimum amount of content and traffic.

Blogsvertise allows you to register your blog and then later be contacted with different offers from advertisers. Most blogs are accepted, though your blog must be at least one month old. When you receive an offer and choose to accept it, you need to write a blog post that contains at least three links to the advertiser's site. An endorsement of the site is not necessary. Blogsvertise pays anywhere from $4 to $25 for posts, with the potential of earning more after you have participated for a while.

CREAMaid is a site featuring numerous "conversations" about specific topics. As a blog writer you can choose one of these conversations, write a post about it in your blog, and then insert a widget from CREAMaid at the end of your post. As long as you have followed the guidelines, your post will be linked to the conversation. It will then be listed among the other posts, and you will be eligible to receive a royalty from the original conversation starter. You can also make money from referrals if other bloggers participate in the conversation after being led to it from your post. Though not as lucrative as some other paid blogging sites, CREAMaid is very easy to participate in.

Creative Weblogging is a blog network that will pay you if you blog regularly and have a high traffic blog that receives at least 50,000 pageviews per month. Though Creative Weblogging occasionally accept new writers or editors without an existing blog, they primarily look for established blogs to add to their network. If your blog is accepted, you will be paid at least $7 per post along with another $1 per 1,000 page views, and Creative Weblogging will market your blog to advertisers to help you earn more.

Know More Media is a network of business-related blogs. If you are knowledgeable in a field such as accounting, education, banking, health care, IT, real estate, or others, you can apply to write for one of their blogs by sending a sample of your writing. Bloggers for Know More Media are expected to average one new blog post a day, and typically earn between $100 and $800 per month depending on the traffic their blog receives.

LinkWorth (also listed in the Advertising Networks section) features a few programs of particular interest to bloggers. Their LinkPost program allows you to make money with sponsored blog posts. But if you prefer sponsored links instead of full sponsored posts, they offer that as well with their LinkInTxt program. In both programs, you will earn 70% of what the advertiser has paid for the sponsored post or link.

LoudLaunch allows you to get paid for inserting "micro press releases" in your blog posts. Essentially, this is similar to other sponsored blog programs where you review another site in your blog post. You can choose which advertiser campaigns you wish to write about, and you must disclose that the post is sponsored. Oddly, the amount you are paid is not set in advance; rather, you are paid a "fair assessment" which depends mainly on how much traffic your blog gets. To apply for LoudLaunch, you must be at least 18 years of age and your blog must be at least 2 months old.

PayPerPost is the largest network of sponsored blog posts. To sign up, you must have an existing blog that is at least 3 months old. If your blog is accepted, you can pick and choose whichever offers you like, then write about it in your blog. Bloggers are paid after their post has been up for a set period of time. Amounts paid vary widely depending on which offer was selected, and more popular blogs can expect to be paid more. Bloggers using PayPerPost can potentially earn several hundred dollars per month or more.

PayU2Blog is a relatively new sponsored blog site. Rather than require you to write an entire review of a product or site, bloggers only have to insert a sponsored link into their blog post. The post does not have to be specifically about the link. PayU2Blog generally pays $5.00 per link. This is one of the easiest and most straightforward ways to make money with your blog, but note that bloggers do not have the option to approve or deny the sponsored links that are offered by PayU2Blog.

ReviewMe allows relatively established blogs to get paid for reviewing other sites. Anyone can apply, although your blog must meet a minimum standard of traffic/readers in order to be accepted. If your blog is accepted, ReviewMe will give it a star rating on a scale of 1 to 5 (again, based on traffic), and set a standard price that you can expect to be paid for reviews. Reviewers are paid anywhere from around $10-$20 to as much as several hundred dollars in the case of high traffic blogs. Reviews are meant to be casual and honest - they are not required to be positive.

Smorty is another sponsored blogging service that requires your blog to be at least 3 months old in order to qualify. You can register multiple blogs with Smorty, although you cannot review the same products or sites on more than one blog. Paid blog posts start at $6 each, with up to $100 per post possible for high traffic blogs and/or blogs with a high PageRank on Google. Bloggers get paid weekly on Smorty.

Sponsored Reviews is a sponsored blog network that allows bloggers to hand pick the products or sites that they would like to write about. Sponsored Reviews takes 35% of the review fee. You'll make at least $10 for a sponsored post, increasing to hundreds of dollars - or even over $1,000 - for high traffic blogs.

V7N Contextual Links provides sponsored links for your blog. As with other sponsored link programs, the link is to be placed somewhere in your blog post, and the post does not need to be specifically about the site being linked to. V7N requires that bloggers in their program do not disclose that the links are sponsored. They pay $10 per sponsored link. To apply, you must have an existing blog with a fair amount of traffic.

Weblogs, Inc. is an AOL-owned network of about 90 blogs, many of which cover some aspect of computing or technology. You can apply to join one of their existing blogs as a contributing blogger, or suggest a topic for a new blog. Weblogs, Inc. reportedly pays their bloggers $4-$5 per blog post.

Wise Bread is one of the most visited personal finance blogs on the net. They are always looking to add new bloggers who can write about personal finance, frugal living, career ideas, shopping tips and so on. To apply, Wise Bread asks that you send them a few sample posts and ideas. If you qualify, you will receive 100% of the ad revenue from your personal pages on the site.

Ebay And Dropshipping

2009-01-17T04:10:00.000-08:00

Ebay And Dropshipping, A Marriage Made In Heaven?

Believe it or not, eBay is the 'BEST' opportunity you can use right now to make money online in the dropshipping business from the comfort of your own home.

Thousands of people just like you use eBay auctions on a daily basis to sell and buy products on the Internet; now it's your time to START your own dropshipping home-based business and succeed in the eBay auctions 'game'!

There are no special skills required for this dropshipping business, all you need is a computer, Internet access and some basic computer / Internet knowledge.

Dropshipping is when you sell products on the Web, forward the orders to the dropship supplier and, in return, the dropshipper ships the product to your customer (buyer).

You act as the middleman between the dropshipping supplier and your buyer. You can take orders by credit card, PayPal fax or any other method you can think of. You can sell via your own Web Site, Yahoo store, or even through e-mails.

Your profit is generated on the difference between your selling price and the price the dropshipping supplier charges you.

Thanks to dropshipping you can start making money 'instantly' without any investment in inventory, warehousing, shipping, equipment, employees or office space.

Having products drop shipped by suppliers, allows you to concentrate on truly important aspects like advertising, sales and promotion.

Pay attention! There are lots of companies claiming to be 'Drop Shippers'. However, a legitimate drop shipper is a factory-authorized wholesale distributor, or sometimes the actual manufacturer of the product. A legitimate drop shipper should not charge you an 'account setup fee' or ask you to place a 'minimum quantity order'.

Make sure you find legitimate drop shippers who have the product(s) you want to sell, talk with them on the phone or by e-mail and let them know that you are truly serious about doing business with them.

Customer support counts in the dropshipping business, so don't hesitate to contact dropshipping suppliers before you proceed to work with them.

This will help you decide if you really want to do business with a particular drop shipper or not.

To succeed in the dropshipping business you'll have to LOOK for hard-to-find products that people desperately need and want to purchase.

The key is to sell products with little or no competition.

Do some research for product's you want to sell that you think will have little or no competition on eBay.

I suggest you RESEARCH for quality products legitimate dropship suppliers, MONITOR the eBay auction listings to see if there's any competition and TEST the market (e.g. find out if people really want to spend CASH on the product you want to sell)

Remember! Dropshipping makes it EASY for you to start and run your own home-based businesses on a shoestring budget; and eBay is the 'perfect' MEDIUM to expose your product to potential buyers all over the globe!

OVER $4300 With 3 Hours Work... Using This "LITTLE KNOWN" METHOD

Or, email me : shopno_sk@yahoo.com

Yes $300-$400 per day is possible

2008-04-14T01:22:00.001-07:00

Not everyone visits multiple forums and it was suggested to me that some of my more exact posts should be listed in multiple areas to help the most people and I think that is a valid point.

So, when I do hourly IM coaching, I find that a lot of people are in the same industry (home business offers) and have the same question (can you show me how to make money?).

I wonder to myself if I post here exactly how I make $300 to $400 a day of my income from work from home offers while doing other things that are more fun, if anyone will actually use it. Statistics say No, and that I have two things against me here: 1. If it's free, no one pays any attention, if I said "give me $5000 and I'll tell you", people would be interested, and 2.It's too easy, everyone will find a reason why it won't or can't work for them.

But what the hell:

Step 1: I buy the leads, yep, that's half of it right there, I buy a few hundred fresh leads each day that are looking for info on work from home offers, I don't waste time on PPC, CPM, newsletters or anything else that involves thousands of affiliates trying to get the attention of the same customer, at least not in this industry.

Step 2: I have an outbound call center that those leads get sent directly to each day before I ever see them. The call center has a script that they follow, written by me, that is not a sales pitch, more Q&A and based on the responses of the person, they are given a few potential options to look at.

Step 3: A large number sign up each day, paying the cost of the leads, the cost of the call center, and leaving a few hundred left over for me and uncle sam to split, which is fair since neither him nor I have done any real work to deserve the money.

Important guidelines of how to do it right:

Buy only exclusive leads, meaning once the company sells them to you, they legally cannot re-sell to other buyers. This costs about a buck and some change more per lead on average, but well worth it since it means they are all yours and are still interested because they just requested info within the last day.

Research the lead company! Places like the Warrior forum and others review these types of companies all the time. I like to take the company name like "Lead Company" and put "Lead Company Sucks" into a few search engines. This usually pulls up forums where people like you and me have posted something like....You guessed it "this company sucks, buyer beware".

Do the same type of research on the outbound call center. You should expect to pay about $6 to $8 an hour and make sure they guarantee a certain amount of calls per month, and are calling during regular hours. You also want to make sure the call center employees are Americanized meaning they don't sound like Apu from the Simpsons, you shouldn't be able to tell that you are talking with someone overseas.

Have more than one home biz offer! Guess what? GDI is not for everyone because it's cheap, neither is Liberty League for being expensive, and some people prefer companies like Free Life because they are into healthy stuff and would rather sell a physical product as well as the opportunity, it's less MLM like that way.

You can't open up an ice cream business and just sell chocolate, a lot of people may like chocolate, but now you've alienated 70% of your potential customers who prefer vanilla, strawberry, coffee, etc, home business is no different. If you offer variety you have a much better chance to convert than cramming one end all be all offer down someones throat.

This is why I create Q&A selling models, not pitch models. No one wants to be sold, they want to sell themselves. Ask questions like, what kind of company do you see yourself representing? is it a physical product that can make peoples lives better? is it a coaching program to help people become better organized and financially successful? Not everyone just wants to make money, or have the potential to make money, people really do want to belive in the business they are offering to others.

You also want to know their honest budget to invest, not just in the program, but marketing the program once they join, the whole figure. This tells you what offers suit them financially. It's way easier to sell a customer something they can afford than trying to convince them it's such a great opportunity they should take out a loan, or sell one of their kids.

Can you do this without the call center? Sure, if you're good on the phone. The call center allows you to do other things like make money elsewhere while you have a steady stream of cash coming in without your help, and it also replaces the need for you to make dozens of calls each day, especially if you are apprehensive speaking with people

7 Steps To A Money Making Website

2007-07-16T09:51:00.000-07:00

Have you been considering setting up your own website to make money on the internet? Perhaps you already have a work at home business or a business idea and want your own presence on the web. Or maybe you just know that you want to make money on the internet but have no idea what is involved. This article explains the steps involved in starting up your own money making website - including finding and researching a business idea and setting up your website.

To give you an idea of what is involved I will outline the 7 steps you need to take to set up your own money making website. This will give you the basics of what is involved and allow you to do further research and make progress in each of these seven areas.

Step 1 - Your business idea
If you already have a business or a business idea, you can skip this step. If not, then spend some time writing a list of all the things that interest you. The chances of succeeding in your new business are far greater if you are doing something that you are passionate about. This way it won’t feel like you are doing a job when you start spending time on this. Don’t worry too much about a product at this point, just think about the things you like to do - perhaps you like cooking, or playing football, or foreign travel. Try to write down at least 5 things that you enjoy.

Step 2 - Research your Market and Analyse the Competition
Once you have completed step 1, you need to find out if there is a market in the areas that you are interested in. At the same time you may want to avoid entering a market that is highly competitive. From my experience the best way to analyse this is by using a tool called Wordtracker. You can try this for free at http://www.homebiz-direct.com/wordtracker.html Note that the trial version is a cut down version of the much more powerful full version and only includes statistics from one search engine rather than multiple engines.

Use this software as a brainstorming tool and type in your interests that you came up with in step 1 (or your original business idea). Wordtracker will return related keywords, which you can then select and add to your “basket”. At this stage it is best to keep an open mind and fill your basket with around 1000 keyword phrases. Finally you can do a “competitive analysis” on the keywords that you have chosen. This will allow you to see how many searches a day are done on a per search engine basis for each keyword phrase.

In addition to this you will also see the number of competing websites and a value called a “KEI” which is a “Keyword Effectiveness Index”. You have a better chance of succeeding if you choose keywords that have a KEI above 100. If the KEI is above 400, then you have an excellent chance of success.

Ensure that you spend sufficient time in this planning phase, repeating the above process again and again until you have a good set of related keywords with good KEIs. once you have chosen your keywords you should check out your competition by typing the keywords into Google and looking at top websites for each keyword phrase that you have selected. The Google and Alexa toolbars can help you with your analysis of competing websites

Step 3 - Choose a Product
If you don’t already have a product in mind, the next step is to decide on your product or group of products. Before you do this, try to do some research and find out exactly what your potential customers are looking for. What sort of questions are they asking? Google Groups are an excellent place for doing this sort of research.

One solution is to join some affiliate programs (related to your chosen keywords of course). Affiliate programs are usually free to join and pay you a commission for directing customers from your site via a special affiliate link. You can find a lot of information about affiliate programs by searching for “Affiliate Programs” on Google.

Another alternative is to sell your own product. This could be something that you have made yourself such as a craft item or an informative e-book, or a product that you dispatch using a drop shipping service. It is also possible to buy resell rights to e-books and software written by other people.

Before you make a final decision, work out what your profit margin will be and do a rough calculation of how much money you will make based on the estimated traffic from Wordtracker.

Step 4 - Choose and Register a Domain name
The next stage is to decide on and register a domain name. There are many websites selling domain names and you should be able to get one easily for less than $10 per year. There is no need to sign up for a domain name with your web hosting company if they are charging more than this as domain names can be transferred easily between hosting companies.

Try to choose a domain name that has some of your keywords in it. It’s also an advantage to have a name that is relatively short and easy to remember.

Step 5 - Find a Web Hosting Company
There are hundreds of web hosting companies available. Some even provide hosting for free. I advise against using the free services if you are setting up a business, as this can look unprofessional, especially since most of them use advertising on your site as a way to recoup the cost. This is fine for a personal website, but if you are serious about making money you need to choose a reputable web hosting company.

Ensure that you are happy with the disk space and bandwidth allowances that your hosting company provides. Other things to consider are the customer support services, reliability in terms of the percentage of down time expected and the interface for uploading files. There are many websites that offer reviews and comparisons of different hosting packages.

Step 6 - Build your Website
At last, you are now ready to start building your website. Many people skip the research stage and dive straight into this part, but your chances of success are much higher if you spend time on the research part first.

Depending on your knowledge and experience in this area you may decide to do this yourself, or pay for a web designer to do this for you. If you are doing it yourself, it helps to know HTML, but there are also many web page editors such as Front Page and Dreamweaver which you can use to construct your website with little or no knowledge of HTML.

Try to ensure that your site is clean, uncluttered and easy to navigate and that it looks professional. Have someone proofread your copy to ensure that there are no mistakes. Also ensure that you use your keywords from your Wordtracker research in the title of your page, the headings and throughout your copy. Use one or two of your chosen keyword phrases per page and don’t overdo the use of your keywords as search engines may consider this as SPAM.

Step 7 - Market your Website
Finally you need to market your webpage. It is simply not true that you can just build a website and wait for visitors to come without doing any form of internet marketing.

Internet marketing is a huge topic, out with the scope of this article. The sort of techniques that you may want to consider include reciprocal linking, writing and publishing articles, pay per click (PPC) advertising such as Google Adwords and Overture, classified and solo ads, participating in discussion forums that allow a signature in your postings and advertising on related (but not competing) websites.

These 7 steps take time and effort, but if you do your research and persevere you are likely to see excellent results.

Don’t forget, that once you have been through this process once, you can repeat it again and again until you have multiple websites making an income for you while you sleep, or relax on the beach!

Earning Money With Affiliate Programs and Google Explained

2007-07-16T09:49:00.000-07:00

Starting a business has never been cheaper, quicker, or easier… you don’t even need your own product…

…Because with the search engine Google and a commission for every sale of somebody else’s product you generate, you can get your first sale for under $30 in mere hours worth of work.

Compare this to other businesses that take months of intense work to start-up and thousands of dollars in investment.

Let me explain how it works:

The search engine Google has millions of searches taking place at every moment. Each one is by a searcher looking for information or a solution to a problem that is troubling him or her.

For example, thousands upon thousands of people search on Google each day for a way to train their dogs, typing in terms such as, “How to train dog” or “Dog training tips.”

With Google Adwords advertising program, you can make your ad show-up when somebody types in these terms… and you don’t even need your own product. There are thousands of retailers that offer you up to 70% commission for every product you sell.

Most notably, http://www.ClickBank.com has thousands of hot products you can sell for 40-70% commissions.

All you have to do to make a quick commission is pick a product from the Clickbank database, set-up a Google Adwords’ campaign and watch the sales flow-in!

Of course, to get the most out of it, it is best to set-up your own website and pre-sell the customer as to why they need a product, but is not required to start earning sales.

So, in as little as 1 hour from now and as little as a $28 start-up budget you can gain your first sale! Then, as the money starts rolling in you can expand to start generating thousands of dollars of income a month…

…For probably the world’s quickest, easiest, and cheapest business to start!

5 Easy Steps To Making Money Online

2007-07-16T09:47:00.000-07:00

It seems everyone is trying to make a living working from home on the internet now a days. It’s kind of like the starving artist syndrome. I am one of those people.

I have been dabbling in different ventures on an off for about 3 years now and I figured I would share with the world what I found works and doesn’t work. I’m no expert, just a regular girl from the South trying to be a stay at home mom.

I will tell you that I do make enough, FINALLY, every month to compensate for what I would make at a regular 40 hour a week job. This pleases me and my family because it is also eliminates a $1000 a month daycare bill. (Sound familiar)

In the beginning, which is probably where you are now, I worked my regular job and then came home and did more work for another 4 or 5 hours every night trying different things.

That is how I started and it was grueling. There is no magic wand and work is work, regardless of where and how it is done. Working from home is no different.

There are several main goals to achieve to make a decent living from home.

Find you niche. What are you going to sell? If you don’t have a product, sell a service. If you don’t have a service, sell somebody else’s service. Affiliate marketing might be a way for you to go if you don’t have your own product or service to sell. This is the way I went.

Own your own website. If you know nothing about building a website, which I didn’t visit, my home page for help on building a FREE website.

Market that website. (This is part of the “real work”) If you built a Wal-Mart the middle of the West Texas desert, which is hundreds of miles of nothing, how many customers would you get. Not many, because nobody would know the store was there. I equalize a website to the same thing. If you build it, they will NOT come, unless they can find you. You must be willing to learn marketing skills if you are going to survive on the internet, plain and simple. I learned from the best.

This is the most important. Multiple streams of income! In other words, don’t put all your eggs in one basket. I get checks every month from 10-15 sources on the web. 2 or 3 hundred dollars a month from 10-15 different sources adds up and that is the key. Sell a product or service, feature Google ads on your website for a small string of income, build a mailing list, and offer Amazon books on your site relating to your product and/or service. These are just a few examples of multiple streams of income.

Read everything you can get your hands on, (free articles and e-books)
Good Luck!

The Truth about Making Money Overnight!

2007-07-16T09:32:00.000-07:00

I feel like a toddler throwing a tantrum in the middle of the store sometimes. It's just that I get so frustrated. My personality is such that I want it all - and I want it now. The only reason I admit such a thing is this - I know I'm not the only one out there feeling this way. Just so you know, you'll feel this way with many aspects of starting and running your home business. Let me explain.

What Type Of Home Business Should I Start?

You'd think you should know this right? You should be able to wake up one morning, decide to work for yourself and boom - you know the type of business you should start. If only it were so easy. It took me about two years before I finally figured out what I wanted to do. I talk with other home biz owners that have several businesses going on or they change their business every once in a while. So this could very well be an ongoing process for you.

To figure out what type of business you should start will take some real soul searching on your part. Think about the jobs you had that you really liked. What about your hobbies, could you turn it into a business. Are you already doing something for family and friends that you could start charging for?

Read lots of books. Like books on home businesses and your other favorite fiction or nonfiction reads. Take walks by yourself and think. It's sad how little time we have to ourselves. Those quiet times are great for thinking up new ideas and ventures.

What Do I Charge?

This should be easy to come up with right? Wrong, this will be an area you may have to play around with. That is after you figure in your cost of time and making the product. You may have to lower or raise your prices because of comments like, "You're charging how much?"

I Started My Business, Now Where's the Money?

Because of all the business opportunity ads out there that state you can make hundreds of dollars doing nothing, you start to think this whole self-employed venture is just easy money. Think again, making money on your own takes time. Prepare yourself for the fact that your business will take a year or longer before you start to make any money.

I Thought Droves Of Customers Would Be Knocking On My Door!

Finding and keeping customers is a venture in itself. Often we make the mistake of putting all of our energy into finding new customers and not keeping up a relationship with the clients we already have.

Finding that first customer is not easy. Be sure you tell everyone you know that you've officially started your biz. Word of mouth is the best, cheapest and slowest form of advertising around today. Stay away from costly advertising if possible. Use free forms of advertising like press releases and flyers!

Just the Facts!

The impatient side of me always wants things NOW, however the reality of being self-employed has taught me a lot, like patience. Don't get sucked in to believing that you can have it all - right now! Self-Employment is a journey, not a destination

Are you ready to start making money on the Internet

Are you ready to start making money on the Internet but don't know where to start? If you are, let me give you some free advice that will make it easy while providing you with tips that you may not know or haven't heard about.

One of the first things you will need is a money-making website. Without a functional website, it is extremely difficult to have a successful Internet Business.

You can get your own e-commerce website set up for free and usually within 24-48 hours. Avoid companies that offer to set your website up, furnish training, guarantee success, all for the low cost of $3,000.00. There is absolutely no reason to invest that much money to start your Internet Business. As I said, there are ways to get a money-making website for free and start your own business within 24 hours.

Once you get your website, you will need a hosting company which is the company that stores the data that makes up your website, on their servers. The company that builds your website will direct you to a hosting company. The fees for hosting your information are usually about $19.95-$20.95 per month.

What are you going to sell on your website? This may be a very difficult decision for many people. Your product or service should be something you are interested in. If you are interested in gardening, focus on garden tools, plants, gardening tips, etc. If you are interested in Internet Marketing, make your focus on e-books, websign, marketing tips, or technology. Focusing on areas of your interest will be beneficial to both you and your customers.

After you have set up the basics of your website, you will want customers to be able to view information and make purchases. In order for them to make purchases, it is very important that you are able to accept credit cards.

Probably the best way to do this is setting up a merchant account through your local. DO NOT get affiliated with a clearing house or other company who agrees to service your credit cards (for a fee) and then requires you to do business with THEIR bank. If that company and bank are out-of-state or not easily accessible, it is too difficult to develop a business relationship. Problems may occur that need your immediate attention and that is hard to accomplish when you are 500 miles away.

You should be aware that your credit card servicing company or clearing house will more than likely have access to your bank account. This is important to know just in case of a chargeback. In the event of a chargeback, funds are taken immediately from your bank account. A charge back can occur up to 120 days after the sale.

A local bank allows you to deal with such matters in a timely fashion. There are many good servicing companies. However, there are also several that will actually cost you money in the long-run.

Just remember, very little money should be invested to start your own home-based business. There is definitely money to be made on the Internet. Knowing the pros and cons before your start can save you a lot of time and money.
