Book Selling: Paypal or Credit Cards or Amazon?

I've been marketing and selling my books on my sites for years now, all without the almighty amazon. Not because I don't like them--I LOVE amazon, but because I wanted to price and sell and promote it and make more profits (hey, I'm honest!).

Over the years I've sold thousands of copies worldwide and I can honestly say that offering the ability to purchase with a well-known credit card processor has helped... a lot! When I started out, I offered my books on ebay, so of course I took Paypal. This worked for awhile, but I realized I needed to go even more "professional" so I signed up with a little-known company (at the time), 2co.com. They were easy and it was cheap to get a merchant "account" and put it on my site.

Since doing that, I still accept Paypal and still get orders with it, but nowhere near the credit card orders I get. I think offering this choice has been a real boon to my sales. If you're not with a credit card company and rely only on Paypal, re-think it. You could easily double or even triple your sales.

BTW: My books are at http://www.moehr-associates.com/, http://www.directsalespower.com/ and http://www.isellmoretoday.com/

Everything You Should Know Publishing Package for Wanna Be Top Selling Authors

I got the package and I'm making my way through the videos. My thoughts thus far: 1. Lots of info! I got the Platinum package and so far I'm impressed with the amount of info. 2. As usual, there's sales info for other packages, but so far I've gotten a good amount just from this without buying more (which I'm not apt to do.) 3. Seriously, Mike Koenigs...don't give advice on dressing right now. Your way-too-big blue shirt didn't make you look like a pro; it just made you look silly. If this is the strategy behind "dressing for the everyman" that you take, it seems really, really dumbed down. I think we can all handle you in a well-fitting shirt. (See video #2 for this.) 4. On a good note, Mike: You're a good speaker and easy to listen to. I like the message. Goes double for Arielle. Wish I could still hire Arielle Ford as publicist (could I even afford her?). She knows the biz. Unfortunately (see previous posting), the biz changed...
