How to Build a Pay

1. CHOOSE A DOMAIN NAME AND CONTRACT WITH A WEB HOSTING COMPANYIf you already have an active website, you can certainly skip this step.
2. CHECK WITH YOUR WEB HOST AND MAKE CERTAIN THAT YOU HAVE MySQL CAPABILITYIf you do not have MySQL with your hosting package, you will need to upgrade. The additional cost is usually minimal.
3. PURCHASE A PayPal SOFTWARE INTERFACE PROGRAMI choose to use DigiVendor, for its ease of installation and its low cost. I have used DigiVendor for customers, as well as my own digital download website, and the results have been very successful. One thing I especially like about this software is that it allows you to put a "Buy" or "Download" button any place on any web page within your website. You dont' have to configure a shopping cart--although you WILL have a shoppping cart.(You will find a link to DigiVendor in the resources section below.)
4. CLICK ON THE LINK BELOW AND PURCHASE DIGIVENDORWhen you click on the link, you will be taken to a product description page and you will be able to download the software immediately.
5. READ THE "READ ME" PAGE IN ITS ENTIRITY BEFORE YOU INSTALLING DIGIVENDORI like to begin with the end in mind, as they say. When you read all the steps to installation before implementing the first step, you will find that installation goes more smoothly.
6. INSTALL DIGIVENDORDuring the installation of DigiVendor, you will input information regarding your PayPal account, making a smooth interface between your Pay-Per-Download website and your PayPal account.In other words, customers click your Download Button, complete the information screen, and money flows into your PayPal account. You now have a 24/7/365 online store.
7. SET UP YOUR AMINISTRATION PAGEBe sure to keep good notes, because you will have to establish passwords for your new interface software.
8. ADD PRODUCTSProducts are "stocked" in the Administration Section of your DigiVendor component of your digital download website. Products are displayed on any page in any manner you choose, as long as the name you provide on the link is the same as the name you provided in the Administration Section.
9. GET THE WORD OUTBe sure to do your marketing. Submit your digital download website to search engines. Advertize with Adwords if your budget allows. Post to blogs, etc.
