Debit Card or Credit Card

Credit card is one of the most important stuff in doing home base internet business. You need to have a credit card to buy your domain name, web hosting or to purchase anything you like on the internet. Credit card is better but if you having trouble to get one due to credit history or employment problem then try to apply for a debit card from your local bank. Although you have bad credit history or employment problem, some bank might consider your application. Debit card also known as electronic prepaid card, prepaid master card or prepaid visa card.

In order to use your debit card you should have pretty cash in it otherwise you need to add or top-up some cash in your debit card. Please ask the bank customer service how you can add cash money in your debit card.

Some banks might offer you a debit card without opening a bank account. If the bank requests you to open a bank account, please specifically request for the debit card. Get details info from customer service of any banks nearer to you.

You should also confirm with the bank customer service whether their debit cards are accepted for the online transactions to purchase any products from internet or not. In some cases, debit card can only be used on some chosen department stores, petrol stations, food restaurants and etc.

Keep in mine that, you need to remember the correct address you use to apply the debit card all the time

Credit card or debit card is the one you need most when doing ecommerce or internet business. Without credit card or debit card, it is nearly impossible to do any online transaction and very difficult to do online business. 

Use your credit card or debit card to buy and register your domain name, web hosting service, ClickBank, Google Adwords, verify your PayPal account or to purchase any products or services on the internet. Make sure you have enough cash in your debit card before purchase any products on the internet.

I advise you to choose debit card in order to control your usage

PayPal is the fastest and the safest way to accept credit cards or debit cards payments online. It is one of the web merchant services that allow sellers to conduct business and accept credit cards payments on the internet from local and international buyers.

These days, in order to build a successful online internet business you need to be able to accept credit card payments on your web site and preferably be able to process transactions in real-time. PayPal will provide you with real time authorization for the transaction or gateway, virtual terminal to process batches and transaction, shopping cart and a secure order form.
 

ClickBank

Even though you don’t have any ebook or any products to sell on ClickBank, you need to get a free ClickBank account. Signup free ClickBank account for affiliate programs. ClickBank offers you to sell your downloadable products.

ClickBank is the ecommerce solution for thousands of web businesses that deliver unique products and services over the Internet itself. ClickBank provides Ready-Made Affiliate System that offers the best plug-in affiliate facility in the industry, ClickBank accepts credit cards or debit cards with no monthly fee and the good thing about ClickBank is Clickbank uses sophisticated international fraud control to screen all purchases. For maximum card security, all orders are sent directly to the banking network for immediate authorization.

ClickBank's payment technology lets any seller automatically pay sales commissions to their affiliate who sale the seller products through their own website. Clickbank bills the customer, pays the seller and pays the affiliates automatically.

ClickBank has over 10,000 products in its marketplace which are owned by people like you. ClickBank’s affiliate offers commission range up to 75% for every sale been made. To sell your ebook on ClickBank, they will charge you one time setup fee of $49.95 to activate your seller's account and 7.5% + $1.00 for each sale. 

ClickBank is perhaps the biggest marketplace on earth for downloadable products. If you sell your own products on ClickBank, you should have your own web site or sales page. The downloadable products should be loaded onto your web hosting server before you can sell it on ClickBank. We highly recommend ClickBank to everyone who sells downloadable products on the internet.

WAIT! Before you register your name with ClickBank… You need to check whether ClickBank accepts your country or not by clicking on the country drop-down list. If your country is not available on their list meaning that ClickBank service is not available in your country then choose PayDotCom as one of the ClickBank alternative.
 

PayDotCom is ClickBank Alternative

PayDotCom is the new paypal-based alternative to ClickBank. For sellers or vendors who just started to sell product on the internet, it is good news for them because selling one product is FREE on PayDotCom and if you sell multiple products they will charge you one time activation fee of $29 and you can sell unlimited products for life. This is the best program you will find anywhere to sell your downloadable products especially for the beginners and get exposure on their marketplace.

PayDotCom is open to international members and accepts members from many countries. PayDotCom will provide you with thank you page + download page or you may create or design your own thank you page + download page if you want. The customer will only reach your download page after they make payment.

Sellers or vendors need to have a PayPal account in order to sell a product on PayDotCom otherwise you cannot use the vendor function to receive payments. For affiliates, PayPal account is an option to receive your commissions from PayDotCom's vendors or you can request PayDotCom's vendors send your money by check if vendors agreed to mail checks to their affiliates.

If you an affiliate, you can promote the products that listed at PayDotCom marketplace just like other affiliates do on ClickBank and you can join PayDotCom for free and earn money through product sales. For vendors or sellers, you don’t have to wait for a check to arrive, when one of your products sold whether directly or through your affiliates, the money goes directly into your PayPal account. There's no waiting time at all.

However, when talk about affiliates commission, vendors or sellers need to do more work because PayDotCom does not pay commissions automatically to the affiliates like Clickbank does. Each vendor or seller is responsible for paying their affiliates himself. So this is more work for the sellers because they have to pay the affiliate commission manually.

PayDotCom allows you to sell both physical products such as books, baby clothes, car parts & etc. and sell digital products such as ebook, digital photos, mp3, digital art & etc. You can even set up subscription based items, such as a membership-based site or ongoing service. ClickBank only allows you to list digital products such as info products or ebooks.

Check it out yourself, visit PayDotCom to make the comparison. Personally, I choose ClickBank because ClickBank pays the affiliates commission automatically and I don't have to do that to pay each of my affiliates myself.
