You have most likely seen or heard about this project on TV programs such as 20/20 and Oprah, or you may have read about it in the Wall Street Journal. If not, here it is below - revealed to you in step-by-step detail. This program is by no means new. It has been in existence in many forms for at least a decade. But in the early days, it required a lot more time and effort, as well as an investment of a few hundred dollars. However thanks to PayPal and the Internet, the investment is now virtually ZERO! And what’s more, the entire process is FASTER, EASIER, and MORE LUCRATIVE than it has EVER been! Below is the email sent to me: How to Turn $5 into $15,000 in 30 Days with PayPal I WAS SHOCKED WHEN I SAW HOW MUCH MONEY CAME FLOODING INTO MY PAYPAL ACCOUNT I turned $5 into $14,706 within the first 30 days of operating the business plan that I am about to reveal to you free of charge. If you decide to take action on the following instructions, I will GUARANTEE that you will enjoy a similar return! STILL NEED PROOF? Here are just 3 testimonials from the countless individuals who decided to invest nothing more than $5 and half an hour of their time to participate in this program: “What an amazing plan! I followed your instructions just 3 weeks ago, and although I haven’t made 15 grand yet, I’m already up to $9,135. I’m absolutely gob smacked.” -Pam Whittemore , Ohio “Well, what can I say?… THANK YOU SO MUCH! I sent 40 e-mail’s out like you said and then I just forgot about the whole thing. To be honest, I didn’t really think anything would come of it. But when I checked my paypal account a week later, there was over $5,000 in After 30 days I now have over $11,000 to spend! I can’t thank you enough!”-Juan Tovar, NY,NY “I was shocked when I saw how much money came flooding into my paypal account. Within 3 weeks my account balance has ballooned to $12,449. At first I thought there had been some sort of error with my account!” -Richard Barrie , Boulder,CO The only things you will need are: An email address. A Business PayPal account with at least $5 deposited in it, and just 15 to 30 minutes of your time. This program takes just half an hour to set up. After that, there is absolutely no work whatsoever to do on your part. You have absolutely NOTHING to lose, and there is NO LIMIT to the amount of income you can generate from this one single business program. Let’s get started, just follow the instructions exactly as set out below and then prepare yourself for a HUGE influx of cash over the next 30 days! Here’s what you need to do. . . REQUIREMENTS [THESE INSTRUCTIONS MUST BE FOLLOWED VERBATUM FOR THIS TO WORK] #1) an email address #2) a Premier or Business PayPal account Now follow the steps: 1-4 STEP #1 - Setting up your FREE PayPal Account It’s extremely safe and very easy to set up a FREE PayPal account! Copy and paste this to the address bar https://www.paypal.com (notice the secure “https” within the link) Be sure to sign up for a free PREMIER or BUSINESS account (and not just a PERSONAL account) otherwise you won’t be able to receive credit card payments from other people. STEP #2 - Sending PayPal money “It is an undeniable law of the universe that we must first give in order to receive.” Now all you have to do is send $1.00 by way of PayPal to each of the five email addresses listed below. After setting up your free paypal account and confirming or verifying YOUR ACCOUNT AND putting (five Dollars) $5.00 into your Paypal Account use the Account tab on Paypal to send $5.00 to each of the Names on the List then move the top one and place yours in the #5 spot on the list of names #1-#5. Remember your name becomes #5. Make sure the subject of the payment says… *PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR EMAIL LIST* (this keeps the program 100% legal.. so please don’t forget!) Note: (If you do not see the full email address for the 5 members, just hit reply to this email and they will show up.) (Just in case you still haven’t opened your PayPal account yet, use this link to open one in your name), https://www.paypal.com #1) edruud4@yahoo.com #2) aquatraxs@aol.com #3) mikejay6969@yahoo.com #4)gjls420@yahoo.com #5)goshendoug@aim.com Remember, all of this is ABSOLUTELY LEGAL! You are creating a service! A Business… An Email List Service Business If you have any doubts, please refer to Title 18 Sec. 1302 & 1241 of the United States Postal laws. STEP #3 - Adding Your Email Address After you send your five $1.00 payments, it’s your turn to add your email address to the list! Take the #1) email off the list that you see above, move the other addresses up one (5 becomes 4 & 4 becomes 3, etc) then put YOUR email address (the one used in your PayPal account) as #5) on the list. **MAKE SURE THE EMAIL YOU SUPPLY IS EXACTLY AS IT APPEARS IN YOUR PAYPAL ACCOUNT.** STEP #4 - Copy Message to 200 Newgroups, message boards,etc…… The Pure Joy of Receiving PayPal Money! You are now ready to post your copy of this message, to at least 200 newsgroups, message boards, etc. (I think there are close to 32,000 groups) All you need is 200, but remember, the more you post, the more money you make - as well as everyone else on the list! In this situation your job is to let as many people see this letter as possible. So they will make you and me rich!!!! You can even start posting the moment your email is confirmed. Payments will still appear in your PayPal account even while your bank account is being confirmed. HOW TO POST TO NEWSGROUPS & MESSAGE BOARDS Step #1) You do not need to re-type this entire letter to do your own posting. Simply put your CURSOR at the beginning of this letter and drag your CURSOR to the bottom of this document, and select ‘copy’ from the edit menu. This will copy the entire letter into your computer’s temporary memory. Step #2) Open a blank ‘Notepad’ file and place your cursor at the top of the blank page. From the ‘Edit’ menu select ‘Paste’. This will paste a copy of the letter into notepad so that you can add your email to the list. Or copy to a Word Document. and Place in the email upon completion. Step #3) Save your new Notepad file as a .txt file. If you want to do your postings in different sittings, you’ll always have this file to go back to. Step #4) Use Netscape or Internet Explorer and try searching for various newsgroups, on-line forums, message boards, bulletin boards, chat sites, discussions, discussion groups, online communities, etc. EXAMPLE: go to any search engine like yahoo.com, google.com, altavista.com, excite.com - then search with subjects like? millionaire message board? or money making message board? or opportunity message board? or money making discussions? or business bulletin board? or money making forum? etc. You will find thousands & thousands of message boards. Click them one by one then you will find the option to post a new message. Step #5) Visit these message boards and post this article as a new message by highlighting the text of this letter and selecting ‘Paste’ from the ‘Edit’ menu. Fill in the Subject, this will be the header that everyone sees as they scroll thru the list of postings in a particular group, click the post message button. You’re done with your first one! Congratulations! THAT’S IT!! All you have to do is jump to different newsgroups and post away. After you get the hang of it, it will take about 30 seconds for each newsgroup! REMEMBER, THE MORE NEWSGROUPS AND/OR MESSAGE BOARDS YOU POST IN, THE MORE MONEY YOU WILL MAKE!! BUT YOU HAVE TO POST A MINIMUM OF 200** That’s it! You will begin receiving money within days! **JUST MAKE SURE THE EMAIL YOU SUPPLY IS EXACTLY AS IT APPEARS ON PAYPAL.** Explanation of why it works so well: $$$$$ NOW THE WHY PART: Out of 200 postings, say I receive only 5 replies (a very low example). So then I Made $5.00 with my email at #5 on the letter. Now, each of the 5 persons who just sent me $1.00 make the MINIMUM 200 postings, each with my email at #5 and only 5 persons respond to each of the original 5, that is another $25.00 for me, now those 25 each make 200 MINIMUM posts with my email at #4 and only 5 replies each, I will bring in an additional $125.00! Now, those 125 persons turn around and post the MINIMUM 200 with my email at #3 and only receive 5 replies each, I will make an additional $625.00! OK, now here is the fun part, each of those 625 persons post a MINIMUM 200 letters with my email at #2 and they only receive 5 replies that just made me $3,125.00!!! Those 3,125 persons will all deliver this message to 200 newsgroups with my email at #1 and if still 5 persons per 200 newsgroups react I will receive $15,625.00! With an original investment of only $5.00! AMAZING!! When your email is no longer on the list, you just take latest posting in the newsgroups, and send out another $5.00 to emails on the list, putting your email at number 5 again. And start posting again. The thing to remember is, thousands of people all over the world are joining the internet and reading these articles everyday, JUST LIKE YOU are now!! So can you afford $5.00?? And see if it really works?? I think so? People have said, what if the plan is played out and no one sends you the money? So what are the chances of that happening when there are tons of new honest users and new honest people who are joining the internet and newsgroups everyday and are willing to give it a try? Estimates are at 20,000 to 50,000 new users everyday, with thousands of those joining the actual Internet. Remember, play FAIRLY and HONESTLY and this will work. This really isn’t another one of those crazy scams! As long as people FOLLOW THROUGH with sending out $5.00, it works! With warm wishes, bless you and your loved ones, https://www.paypal.com $$$$$ REMEMBER, IT IS 100% LEGAL! DON’T PASS THIS UP!!!

What is e-gold?
E-gold is an electronic gold currency issued by Gold & Silver Reserve Inc. under e-gold Ltd., a Nevis corporation. E-gold is integrated into an account based payment system that empowers the instant transfer of gold ownership between users. The e-gold corporation boasts of an overwhelming two millions accounts. With over 3 tons of gold in storage and an estimated 50,000 e-gold transactions each day, the e-gold system is sure headed for unprecedented growth. E-gold transactions, often termed as an e-gold spend , are accomplished electronically, typically via the web interface provided by the e-gold corporation. All transactions are settled by weight of the metal. A user may instantly send (spend) a specific amount of gold, be it a gram or an ounce, to another e-gold account. A user may also receive physical delivery of gold upon payment of an additional fee. The two major reasons behind e-gold s success as a monetary system have much to do with the reliability offered by gold, one of the rare and precious metals. Firstly, gold as a means of monetary exchange has a profound history. And secondly, weight units have a precise, unwavering, and internationally accepted definition. Paper currency of a nation is typically affected by its monetary policy. Therefore, paper currencies do have certain inherent economic risks, such as inflation and devaluation. On the other hand, e-gold offers greater reliability since it is guarded against such economical fluctuations. By possessing e-gold funds, you effectively gain access to bullion investing, without being anxious about storage and delivery. With e-gold, you could buy just about anything that the web offers, provided the merchant accepts e-gold as a form of payment. E-gold has a few advantages over conventional forms of payment. For instance, the transaction fee on an e-gold spend is very much affordable. Furthermore, relative to credit card transactions or checks, e-gold spends clear instantly. Unlike PayPal and other payment processors that typically have several account types, e-gold system bears only one account type. That is, all e-gold accounts have the same capacity to transmit and receive e-gold funds, and all accounts are charged the same fee, which is 1% per annum on all e-gold stored in a user s account. E-gold is very much out of the usual run of things, since all e-gold transactions are non-reversible. Specifically, even in the case of a fraudulent spend or a legitimate error, there is no way to reverse the transaction. Thus e-gold is analogous to a cash transaction, and is quite dissimilar from other contemporary payment processors, such as PayPal. A striking feature of the e-gold system is that the e-gold corporation does not sell electronic currency directly to the user. This renders the e-gold corporation free of any financial risk whatsoever. However, OmniPay (a sister concern of e-gold), allows for the exchange of e-gold account holdings for paper currency and vice versa. E-gold Ltd. claims that it possesses gold to back the currency in the e-gold system. Since gold is a tangible commodity, it is bound to experience price fluctuations. However, gold prices have seen a steady and impressive growth over the past five years, and consequently, the value of e-gold account holdings has risen over the same period. There simply is no better time for e-gold investment than now.

Leaders in Alternative Search
There is a search engine based in Pasadena, California called Snap.com with a stated desire to become The other way to Search . All it takes is a click and a search or two to see how Snap.com is a true alternative to the norms of search advertising. I recently asked some employees at ICMediaDirect.com to check out Snap as an example of a company that not only thinks outside the box , but operates there, too. We d do well to steer clear of any insurance group billing itself as a revolutionary and unprecedented kind of policy-provider. Indeed, risk management calls for avoiding risk while seeking measured solutions. This is in stark contrast to the Internet, which is still developing as a platform and needs creativity and innovation as much as we need oxygen. So when a giant like Bill Gross, founder of Snap.com, aims to build search alternatives, I take special notice. In case you re unfamiliar with Bill Gross, he is credited with developing the concept of contextual online advertising as we know it today through GoTo.com. His ideas have evolved into the success of pay-per-click that Google, Yahoo and others enjoy. I don t know if anyone calls him the Godfather of the Internet , but I wouldn t object to the phrasing. Simply put, his monetization model still fuels the progress of our medium. For the last few years Gross has been hanging his hat at Idealab, a true hotbed of business ideas. Idealab s ambitions even venture into harnessing solar energy. Snap.com is an offshoot of Idealab and is noteworthy for the exceptional contextual search features it provides. Searches with Snap.com give in-window previews of contextual ads. It allows you to glimpse a website in question before actually have to click and visit it. This innovation provides convenience to the potential visitor, who may get a better idea of what s in store before clicking on an ad. The mouse-over display also saves the advertiser money, improves cost per acquisition, and lowers the visitors abandonment rate by minimizing the number of needless clicks from uninterested visitors. Could you imagine a major search engine giving both users and advertisers this break? An advertiser with Snap.com gets more relevant and interested visitors while cutting down on accidental and costly clicks because people won t be clicking on sites they don t want to visit. This is one innovation most search engines will likely not adopt; I don t see Google discouraging clicks to paid advertisements. This far reaching platform could be construed as self-defeating for a search engine when conventional standards are applied, but Bill Gross isn t trying to be like everyone else. He either sees the future here or is taking jabs at the very model he created ” or maybe a little of both. Perhaps visual search displays for are too far ahead of its time. Leading search engines don t want more informed and pickier searchers clicking fewer ads, but Gross s career path is replete with successfully zigging while others zag. It might take some happy accident of his or an innovation of another company to marry well into Snap s added contextual platform before Snap s functionality goes from a cool alternative to an industry staple. I think Bill Gross banks on this. Snap.com has also spawned Big.com, a search tool that employs the simplest concept that could ever be thought up, yet no one really did until Big.com: that s a search engine with giant font. People who like Big.com include seniors, the vision impaired and me. It s terrific, almost shocking to behold. The layout of Big.com is beautiful once you figure out what you re looking at. Like any standard search engine, you ll get results by entering keywords into a search bar. In this case, it s virtually impossible to not find the search bar ” trust me. Your Search Engine Results Page (SERP) comes back very simply with natural or organic results in the left column and paid search ads in the right ” all in huge can t miss print with paneled screen encompassing buttons instead of wee links to click. The ironic thing is that this giant font flies in the face of the incredible shrinking font of the Internet, a trend that s due to contextual advertising which has increased the value of screen space, a trend that Bill Gross helped start as much as anyone. Google and Yahoo don t seem to be splashing big font for their users. I believe part of the Google s franchise is a simple uniform look. Different font sizes for different users might ripple that magnificent pond. And with Yahoo, they need all the space they can get, big font might shoo some of their offerings off the monitor and that s definitely not part of their business plan. It s easy enough to change the color scheme, though. I like that. Bill Gross has already contributed more to the Search business than anyone could expect an individual to. He could bow out now an accomplished pioneer. But that wouldn t be like him or anyone with a pioneering spirit would it? As big names in search advertising emphasize profits, I think we have to dig around elsewhere to see where innovation will come from. And change just might come from the same guy who changed the rules of Internet advertising to begin with.

DXCaf ©s: The New E-conomy Is Coming
It seems they’ve been busy on the isle of Vanuatu … That’s where a company called Global Digital Transfers Inc (’GDT’) placed their headquarters for DXinOne, the e-currency exchange system that is the main topic on Longer Life’s Opportunity page. Since I last looked at the DXiO website, I’ve seen a number of new developments there, featuring services from travel to advertising with earnings and payments tendered by their unique coin of the cyber-realm, the digot. It’s becoming quite obvious that they’re not only easing a new e-currency into cyberspace, but an entire DXEconomy to support it. That’s a very clever strategy. Now, GDT is taking measures to ensure their presence in the physical world, too. They are introducing a bricks-&-mortar element to their e-currency exchange business, deploying franchises for what they term ‘LDXMerchants’ (The ‘L’ stands for ‘Licensed’) to be visible via storefront at a location near you. Their function would be to service high-volume transactions in a 21st-century banking sort of manner that is yet to be fully announced. Furthermore, they intend to incorporate other DX services into those facilities, with the obvious intention of attracting more attention to their veritable range of operations. They’re going to call these centers DXCaf ©s. Fittingly, the flagship of this franchise will be located in Port Vila, the capital of Vanuatu. Such a choice not only displays respect for their host nation, it’s also a relatively isolated — and thus easily controlled — site that will allow them to amend any aspect of its activities without drawing mainstream attention. This should increase their chances of presenting a more polished product to the world at large. GDT has announced that their intentions will be uncompromising in their selection of global locations. They state that “We are currently working on several items that will help us present these establishments around the world, as taking short cuts will not be an option for us. The first task is to set a criterion, upon which the location of our DXCaf ©s will be based. It is ideal that we use high traffic locations; airports, transportation terminals, accommodation, shopping centers or malls are all prime locations for us.” It’s clear they’re still somewhere in the planning stages when they state the basis of their deliberations when defining the characteristics of the DXCaf ©s in these terms: “Size of the DXCaf ©s is also important; our designers have been working on several different concepts based on floor size. Whether as a full build or a new fit-out, a set criteria needs to be established. There is also nothing limiting us from having several DXCaf ©s in the one city, each DXCaf © may have a set coverage in regards to population, cliental and security.” However, most of these decisions must have been made already. GDT has announced that they intend to establish their first DXCaf ©s outside Vanuatu during the months of April and May 2006 and have claimed they are currently on target to achieve this goal. To accommodate such a timetable, they say they have designed and commenced manufacture on the fit-out for the physical plants and prepared state-of-the-art computer components and technology for installation into each DXCaf ©. High volumes of value are expected to be exchanged, so GDT will be requiring license agreements for each LDX/DXCaf © proprietor. They will be private agreements designed for congruence with various countries’ financial regulatory requirements. The license agreements are intended to ensure that all DX operations will be in accord with the needs and requirements of DXInOne and its users. The purchase price for an LDX/DXCaf © license is yet to be finalized and will only be available upon request. I would anticipate this amount to be between $650,000 and $1,000,000 so as to ensure that only the most responsible and capable proprietors would be enlisted. These are ambitious plans. I firmly believe there’s a market for their services, so I continue to contend that DXinOne is worth our attention. Very soon, it could be worth more than that. Much more.

Checks Out At Check Out
As businesses providing services and goods that can be purchased online, ask yourselves this question: am I doing everything I can to enable my visitors to buy my products? Are you offering them a complete range of payment options? Or are you, like some many online businesses, making the mistake of assuming everyone has a valid credit or debit card? They don’t. In fact, over 11% of the population of the United States doesn’t have a credit or debit card and, of course, millions more are maxed out at any one time. Do you really want to ignore 30 million plus potential customers? No? Didn’t think so. The solution is to offer check payments to customers. With the increased availability of online check solutions for all sizes of business, problems normally associated with accepting checks - such as delays in receiving payment, bad checks and the additional banking time - are largely a thing of the past. ADVANTAGES OF ONLINE CHECK PROCESSING A complete online check processing service will include check verification, so you can determine whether an account is overdrawn or closed before dispatching goods; the ability to accept checks by fax and phone as well as online; fast, automated transfer of funds from the customers account to yours and even electronic check recovery. As well as increasing the number of potential customers, there are other advantages of such a solution for any online business. These include : Eliminates “the check is in the mail” syndrome. Allows faster access to funds than waiting for check payment by mail. Reduces labor costs associated with physical check processing. Cheaper than accepting credit cards and lower risk of credit card charge backs. Saves on expensive invoicing and mailing costs. CHOOSING AN ONLINE CHECK PROCESSOR There are a number of companies offering third party online check processing services, many of whom also provide integration with your current shopping cart. The smaller online business would be well advised to choose a service that takes a small percentage of the value of each check with no monthly minimum number of transactions. On the other hand, companies dealing with larger check values may find that a transaction processor offering a flat fee per check is a better option. Whichever option you choose, online check processing can both increase your customer base and streamline your current billing processes. It maybe time you asked your customers to get their checks out at checkout.

Media selling for newbies. How to earn when you are clever.
Greg’s small business success story.
Although this article is not about photographing, let me introduce myself.
My name is Greg Madisson and I am a well-known photographer from Southern Spain.
Luckily we live in the 21st century when a person who produces something is able to
sell that easily. I am talking about photobanks and photo-auctions; there are
tons of them and a photographer, especially a talented one, is able to earn some money.
As for me, I always hated being dependable on somebody’s will and I always dreamt to
open my own business. Even working with a famous photobank I felt I do not have my own
business!
So I started thinking. What can I really do? The decision was — to open my own website.
I had a blog at Myspace.com already where I posted my photos (their smallest versions mostly)
and I knew something about running a website. That would be a piece of cake I imagined.
I am good at design so I made the presentation of the simple website myself and my younger
brother helped me with moving that to html. The next thing was registering a domain name and
purchasing hosting for my knew marketplace. That was really less than $15, I was inspired!
What to do next? I found a problem. How to sell full versions of my photos? Which payment
way to choose? How to program or at least setup all huge solutions on my small website?
I was frustrated. Will my poor business die before being born?..
It will not I said and started searching! I found a couple of companies who could help but their
rates were terrible. One imagined I would be happy to give them 60% of my earnings! Ha! No way!
Another one wanted a serious setup fee, which was no good for me.
The third found company was Ubscribe.com (http://www.ubscribe.com/). They had their system in
beta-mode (and still have now as I know) and first I was worried. They promised to help me for free
and their rate was really good. But I have nothing to lose!
Their manager Andre was helping me by phone when I had any questions and I am really grateful to him for
his help, I really had tons of stupid questions! Their technicians even cleared up html on my page
and helped me setup everything on their side and even on mine! I felt lucky. That was totally free.
The last thing I had to worry about was promoting my website (a professional photographer homepage).
I have just put address of my page to all photobanks I worked with — to my signature, to my personal
details, etc. That worked, I had 20-30 visitors a day and even got first 2 sales! Andre from
Ubscribe.com contacted me personally with a congratulation. Oh how happy I was! Whoa, it goes!
Next part was ordering links to my page at different companies. Adbrite.com helped me much with that —
they allow to do this easily.
What do I have now? I popular website which I plan to make a photobank to help young talented people follow
my steps. When I have a new photo, I create a new service and a billing routine at Ubscribe.com (which is less
than a minute), upload my photo and I am almost over. After that I press a button and here I have a new page
generated — I add that to my site and my photo is ready for new customers!
I believe everyone who owns any media materials (music, video, text, any services) or wishes to sell in the Internet,
can follow my steps and use my experience to succeed.
I will have one more article soon, about promoting in the Internet for newbies. Of course, if I got responses from
you, my readers, about this one. And if you like it!
That’s it I think. If you guys have any questions to me about this article or whatever else,
please contact me by email: gregmadisson@yahoo.com
Thank you for your time.
Greg.
P.S.: Special Thanks to
- Ubscribe.com (http://www.ubscribe.com/)
- Especially to Andre, you helped me really and I appreciate this, man!

Accepting Online Payments - Cost vs. Convenience
If you rely on online marketing to promote and market your business, you know that you must accept credit card payments online to be successful. Immediacy and convenience are the hallmarks of online transactions. When you re making a decision about which online payment solution to use, you will ask yourself the following question. Should I pay a bit extra for a professional solution or should I pinch pennies and hope that a free solution will do? This is a fair and legitimate question for all online businesses especially those that are new and financially constrained. We all want to save money. The question can be restated and better answered as Is it worth it to pay more to have branded payment pages, customized thank you notes and receipts, a level of automation in post-sales processing, and ease in reporting ? The answer, I believe, is yes it is definitely worth the extra expense because of the time and effort that you will save by not having to perform the non-revenue generating tasks that managing and dealing with a merchant account or a generic payment processor entails. How much time does it take to answer calls from clients that are unsure what to do when they get to your free generic payment page, or track down payments from clients that didn t pay because they couldn t understand the generic payment page instructions (enter your account name etc.)? How much time does it take to manually cut and paste email addresses or send thank you notes and receipts to clients? How much time does it take to change pricing or the language on your do it yourself payment page? The non-revenue generating tasks required to manage a business are necessary but should not become the main activities of the business. If you are a service professional, i.e., a coach or consultant, your time should be spent in line with the 80-20 rule. That is; 80% of your time should be spent on revenue generating activities and 20% on other activities such as the administration of the business. Think about it in terms of how much your time is worth. For every hour that you spend dealing with non-revenue generating activities, multiply it by the value of an hour of your time. The answer to this math problem is how much money you are losing by performing these tasks yourself. If the number of hours you spend on administrative tasks exceeds 20% of your work week you are cheating yourself out of revenue. And, aside from the lost revenue potential, you will soon find that administrative busy work is a drain on your motivation, energy and ultimately the success of your business. If paying an extra $10 a month for a professional, managed online payment processing solution helps you to; * reduce the time you ll spend searching for client payment information, * automate post sales follow up and receipt delivery to clients, * quickly get new payment pages up and receiving payments, * reduce calls from clients making payments, * look more professional and trustworthy, * not have to pay a web developer for a secure site and * save money by not paying gateway fees, statement fees and other variable merchant account fees then using a premium online payment processor isn t just worth the extra 33 cents a day, it s a necessary cost of doing business right. ———————— Can an online payment processor actually save you time instead of creating extra tasks?
