My Top 7 Favorite Ecommerce
Tools by Jim
Edwards
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.
