The final step in creating our new money machine is making it easy for your buyers to order.

I've tried various methods of accepting payment online, but this article will only cover ones I'm using now and why I use them.

My main method of accepting online payment is Paypal. I know there are some drawbacks, but I like receiving access to my money immediately.

The old saying that time is money, is a concept you should burn into your brain.

Why?

The only way to pyramid your profits fast and to "strike while iron is hot" is to have immediate access to your profits.

If you have to wait two weeks to a month to access your money you're losing sales. The early stages of your new ebook or any product for that matter is when you should be cashing in.

As soon as your expenses are covered you should be plowing back at least 50 % of your profits into advertising. Mail order dealers have been doing this for years.

If you want to double your business on an ongoing basis you have to put 50 % of all profits back into advertising.

Stop advertising and your profits eventually dry up.

Ok then, now what?

First, realize that successful businesses start with successful planning. You can't just hop around blindly and expect things to happen for you. You have to search out information, tools, and promotional ideas you're going to need, and gather them all up. You have to make some initial decisions, set up a marketing plan, and continue with further education.

THE BASICS

Depending on how long you've been on Internet, you may or may not need to go through these initial steps. However, you can't simply skip them. This is foundation for your organization. Take a look at following categories and relate them to your own needs. These are all important steps that will set a sound foundation for your success.

Email -- How many accounts do you need? Do you want to separate personal, business, ezine, and advertising emails, or just sort them out daily in one account?

Web Design -- Are your going to design your own web site, or pay to have it done? Do you have an html editor? Do you need to learn more about html?

Auto Responders -- Do you need an auto responder? If so, how many? Where can you get them?
