Paydotcom Tips and Tutorial For Beginners

Thinking of using Paydotcom? Good choice. If you are looking to sell eBooks, whether as an affiliate or a vendor, Paydotcom should be your number one choice. These are advantages of Paydotcom over Clickbank

1. No commission theft problem. Each Paydotcom affiliate must enter their PayPal account when registering. If an affiliate tries to buy from their affiliate link, the system will automatically deduct the commission, which will allow the seller to earn 100% profit.
2. No waiting for payment. All payments are paid through a PayPal account. Easy way to receive payments, for non-US affiliates.
3. No start-up cost for the supplier. This is another reason why Paydotcom is a risk free way to manage payments and affiliates. Unlike Clickbank and 2Checkout where the provider has to pay $ 49.00 to get started, this fee is not required for Paydotcom.

Tips for using and promoting Paydotcom products.

1. Sign up for both a PayPal and Paydotcom account. Unlike Clickbank where you just need an email address, Paydotcom requires you to have a PayPal account. Please register and verify your PayPal account as soon as possible. You don't want PayPal to restrict access to your own account.
2. Research of high demand markets. Without proper research, all your efforts will soon be in vain. There are many ways to conduct market research. However, I highly recommend that you check the Clickbank Marketplace first to get started. Clickbank and Paydotcom are similar. Anything that sells at Clickbank, with a Severity Score of 1 or more, would definitely be a great market for Paydotcom products. After finding a high gravity product at Clickbank, check out the Paydotcom Marketplace for products in similar topics.
3. Find relevant keywords for the market using the Google Keyword Tool. You will not be able to market online without this tool. Google Keyword Tool is still the best in my opinion, not only because it has the largest database of keywords, but also because it is free. Remember, target only long tail search terms, regardless of your traffic strategy: pay per click, search engine optimization, article marketing, or video marketing.
4. Start by posting articles first. Article marketing is a great source of traffic. Not only because it's free, but also because it's fast. Unlike SEO or blogging where you have to wait months, in some cases years, to see results. There are tons of article directories online, but for starters I highly recommend Ezine or HubPages articles. Both of these article directories are top notch, with higher page rank and a good reputation in the eyes of Google.
5. Send traffic using Google AdWords. To be successful online, you need both free and paid traffic. Why? Well, because every traffic strategy has its limits. If you use free marketing like article or SEO, there is no guarantee that your article will stay on the first page of Google search results. By using AdWords, you can at least overcome this problem.
6. Create your own blog. Forget about building a website. A blog is a better alternative to websites, not only because it can be set up and run in minutes, but also because Google loves blogging. Search engines love blogs because the script is search engine friendly and most blogs are always up to date with fresh content. In addition, readers can post comments, share their thoughts, which would create better quality content. If you are on a budget, you can start a free blog on Blogger. However, I strongly encourage you to register your own domain and host your blog. Create a WordPress blog. Not only because WordPress blogs are beautiful, but they also have several interactive features like widgets, SEO, and spam filter.
7. Find a related forum. Forum marketing is actually an advanced traffic strategy. It is not a necessity. However, if you enjoy chatting with a group that has the same interests as yours, why not give forum marketing a try? Make sure you read the forum rules. Some forums allow signing, others don't.
8. Grow your mailing list. If you don't have a mailing list, you don't own your business. On the Internet, if you don't have a mailing list, you still depend on Google for traffic and customers. If Google removed your website ranking from the first page, all of your traffic and customers would disappear overnight. By having a mailing list, you will always have potential buyers for life.

Some advice and warnings

1. Apply for a PayPal debit card if possible. Using PayPal as a payment method can be both a good and a bad thing. The problem is that, for some reason, PayPal can sometimes restrict access to your account. Try to avoid this limitation, if you can. One solution is to apply for a PayPal debit card.
2. Don't choose too many traffic strategies at once. For the first six months, focus only on search engine traffic, whether it's free or paid. It will take time to learn and see consistent income from just one source of traffic.
3. Don't jump into crowded markets like internet marketing, search engine optimization, adsense and making money online. There are a lot more less competitive niches like pet kennels and gardening with a lot of traffic and money to be made. So why jump into crowded niches?
4. Learn, learn and keep learning. Internet marketing is not a simple game. It's like your daily job or your retail business. It takes years to learn and become a good doctor, engineer, teacher, researcher or whatever your day job is. The same goes for online business. The more you learn, the more experience you have, the more money you earn.
