    Heather Porter: Yes. (o$ literally creatin" what we %now as a sales pa"e orlandin" pa"e and ha&in" all the in)ormation a!out your product on there and youcan #ust use a PayPal !utton$ nice and easy.

    Andrew McCauley: (o$ PayPal actually acts as a "ateway. The only system thatacts as a "ateway to your !an% althou"h it doesn*t put money directly into your!an%: it puts it into your PayPal account$ ri"ht0

    Heather Porter: That*s ri"ht. Yeah$ that*s eactly ri"ht. PayPal$ I don*t thin% it*s

    %nown as a proper "ateway !ecause they ha&e #ust come out with PayPal Prowhich is a "ateway. (o$ it actually is a premium product o) PayPal that doesactually$ I "uess$ push money into your account without you ha&in" to use yourPayPal account to then choose i) you trans)er money across. (o$ PayPal does ha&e

    what*s %nown as a proper "ateway !ut PayPal$ #ust standard PayPal is somethin"that you can easily use to stic% a !utton on a pa"e and o)) you "o. What*s "reata!out PayPal nowadays is you can also do what*s called inte"ration. (o$ it will tal%to MailChimp or Awe!er or your pre)erred e8mail pro"ram. It*s not that hard to "et

    set up. You can )ind some!ody to help you on li%e www.elance.com orwww.o?es%.comto do this !ut you can "et the two systems to communicate !ac%

    and )orth. (o$ i) some!ody !uys say your eBoo% usin" PayPal$ then PayPal will tellMailChimp /+ey$ "uys,1 o&er at MailChimp /This person #ust !ou"ht an eBoo%1 andthen automatically put the data o) that person into a nice e8mail list )or you so youcan then communicate with that person on automation throu"h that e8mail list thatit*s created in MailChimp. (o$ I don*t want to "et too techie !ut that is actually&ery easy and I hi"hly recommend that you "uys do set somethin" li%e that up. I)

    you are usin" PayPal$ ma%e sure it*s wor%in" with your e8mail system.

    Andrew McCauley: The other day I was out with a client somewhere and theypulled out their credit card and they said /oo%$ this is a PayPal credit card1 and I

    am li%e /3h$ what*s that01 I heard that they were out there !ut I had ne&er seenone it*s !asically li%e your credit card !ut it had the PayPal lo"o at the top and

    what it was a credit7de!it card where it too% money out o) their PayPal accountwhen they purchase somethin".

    Heather Porter: Interestin".

    Andrew McCauley: I %now Mc?onalds in the ( ha&e started acceptin" PayPal to

    !uy ham!ur"ers and i) Mc?onalds is doin" it$ then the world is "oin" that way )orsure !ut PayPal is li%e a !an%. The thin" a!out PayPal is$ the di))erence with

    PayPal is you are not payin" to use PayPal which is a "ood thin". You don*t payup)ront. You are not payin" a monthly )ee li%e 3ne (hoppin" Cart !ut you do pay

    when you sell somethin" and you pay a little !it more than you would )or 3ne(hoppin" Cart. (o$ this is a !it o) a way out and$ as +eather said$ i) you are onlysellin" a couple o) items or you only "ot a )ew transactions happenin"$ PayPal isthe way to "o )or the start. ?on*t "o and lash out on an epensi&e shoppin" cart.I) you only ha&e one or two products and you are not really ma%in" a lot o) moneyat the !e"innin"$ stic% to PayPal. You can always chan"e o&er to 3ne (hoppin"Cart or any o) the other ones later.

    Heather Porter: Yes$ they do and they are &ery nice.

    Andrew McCauley: Alri"ht. Then I "uess the last part o) this one is deli&ery anddistri!ution$ )ul)illment houses that store other physical products. Now$ I am not"oin" to "i&e too many re)erences to anyone !ecause there is a whole !unch o)di))erent houses out there !ut here is how it wor%s. It*s essentially the same as

    una%i is that you "et an order$ let*s say you !uy a shipment o) wid"ets and youneed to store them and you wor% )rom home$ you ha&e your own home o))ice$ youdon*t want to )ill the "ara"e with wid"ets. (o$ what you do is you actually "etthose wid"ets and you store them in a warehouse$ a )ul)illment warehouse and

    !asically the same scenario - they come to your we!site$ they !uy a wid"et$ themoney "oes into your account and then the order "oes to the )ul)illment stora"e

    place. They will "et that and they will say /3%ay$ Mary (mith has #ust ordered onewid"et.1 (o$ they will sort it$ )ind it$ pac% it$ stac% it$ wrap it and then send it o)) toMary (mith and then what will happen is they will send you a !ill )or whate&erprice they are char"in" you. 3!&iously you are "oin" to char"e Mary (mith a little!it more so you can ma%e money. (o$ it*s all done throu"h a third8party &endorwhere you don*t actually ha&e to do any o) that once a"ain: you are #ust payin" the
