How to Test My Ebook Sales With PayPal
1. Sign up for a Merchant account at PayPal. Go to the main PayPal website and choose to sign up as a Merchant if you don't already have an account. Enter your information and confirm it.
2. Set up a download page. This page doesn't have to be fancy, and can be a simple, single page site with something along the lines of 'Thank You for Your Purchase' in bold letters at the top. This page will be used to download your ebook immediately. Alternatively, you can email the ebook to the customer manually, but this means that the customer won't automatically receive the ebook and may become impatient.
3. Go to the 'Merchant Services' tab of the main PayPal page and select the 'Buy Now Button'. Follow the steps to create a 'Buy Now' button for your ebook. Plug in the web address of the thank-you page you made in the 'Take Customers to a Specific URL After Successful Purchase' box.
4. Get traffic to your 'Buy Now' button. The simplest methods to do this are to advertise with pay per click engines, such as Google Adwords, share this button on forums that allow it in your signature or in threads, or use search engine optimization to write articles about keywords related to your product and direct traffic from those articles to your ebook. Be sure you are niche-specific with your ads and traffic sources. If your ebook is titled 'How to Get a Six Pack in Six Weeks,' join exercise forums, not online business forums.
5. Evaluate the sales of your ebook. PayPal charges a small fee---as of October 2010, about $0.60 per $10 of transactions---for using their service, but other than this and the cost of a domain, you should have incurred minimal other costs unless you paid for traffic. Take into account how active your method has been and how many refund requests you have before deciding if you wish to pursue the product more vigorously.
How to Use PayPal for Liberty Reserve
1. Select an exchange service. There are several services online that provide exchanges between PayPal and Liberty Reserve such as E-Currency Directory or Exchange Currency. The services charge a fee for transfers from PayPal to Liberty Reserve or from Liberty Reserve to PayPal.
2. Open a PayPal account and a Liberty Reserve account. To exchange money between the two accounts, the user must have both accounts available.
3. Transfer money via an exchange service. Exact methods differ for each service, but typically the user would transfer the amount of money preferred in the Liberty Reserve account plus the payment for the services, which differs for each service, and then allow the transfer to go through. The transfer takes place by either wiring money through means that PayPal does not allow and Liberty Exchange permits or by exchanging money into an appropriate currency as necessary for foreign purchases.
How to Start a Fundraiser After a Student#039;s Death
1. Determine how the funds raised will be used. They could be put towards funeral costs, to establish a scholarship fund, etc. Donors will want to know how their money will be used. It is generally a good idea as well to reach out to the family and ask if they want the funds to help with funeral costs or if they'd like them to go to the student's favorite charity.
2. Reach out to the community and to local businesses for donations, and be prepared to tell them why it's important that they donate to your cause. Have car washes and bake sales and encourage local grocery stores and hardware stores to donate the supplies for both. Contact community and local newspapers, and try to get them to give you free ad space about your fundraiser.
3. Make it easy for people to donate. Set up a PayPal account so that people who want to donate can make easy and larger contributions. It may also be a good idea to establish a donation account with a bank so that people can keep track of their donations for tax purposes.
4. Get the word out about the fundraiser on a national level. Reach millions of people by building a MySpace and/or a Facebook page about the fundraiser. Post pictures about fundraising events and let people know how and where they can donate funds if interested. Also, talk about why you established the fundraiser and also talk about the student who passed away on these pages. This is a great way to increase the donations and attention that the fundraiser gets.
