I have one e-book which I would like to sell online. I have seen some people reccomending paypal with payloadz and others reccomending clickbank.

I would like an affiliate program so I guess I would have to use the payloadz feature if I choose paypal OR use clickbank.

Any thoughts or reccomendations as to what is the best route to do this? I am looking for a simple solutions.

Thanks.

Paypal is the best processor so go for it only

Hi,
I'm now using a mobile phone payment system. It works with over a hundred mobile operators including all the "biggies" in the US & Europe, and in 15 countries.
You put payment buttons (or a button) on your site, and when a customer clicks on it they're asked to insert their mobile number. The system then texts them (sends them an SMS) asking them to reply "Yes" or "y" if they wish to complete the purchase.
If the customer replies "Yes", the system then guarantees your payment (it's guaranteed by the mobile carriers), and the customer is billed the item (your ebook) at the end of their billing cycle as a premium sms. If the customer is on a "prepaid" mobile, the credit is deducted immediately.
Either way, the customer needs no credit card, no age verification, no address verification and no id.
You (the webmaster) on the other hand, need no merchant account, no complicated "integration" with your site, the fees are VERY low (and can even be billed to the customer as well!) and chargebacks are pretty much non-existent.
It's working really well for me on a few of my sites, it's free to join and use as a merchant, and, in my opinion, beats Paypal hands down.
If you're interested, check it out via the link on my sig - if you'd rather skip the firstname and email part (although you won't then get my newsletters), just type /thx4all.html after the domain name to get straight to the video explanation.
Good luck with whichever payment methods you finally choose.

Another popular option is Authorize.net through 1ShoppingCart. 1ShoppingCart's deliverability is terrible and you'd need a separate autoresponder, but they do have affiliate management.

The best thing to do, is to first determine your business goals. What are you trying to accomplish? Is it just to put a book online? Do you want to sell internationally? What payment options do you want to offer your consumers.

PayPal is a good choice for some, but it just depends on your goals as a business and what you need in terms of tools, to accomplish those goals. Once you've determined your goals, you can look at what tools are available to you through various service providers and choose the best fit.

Here's a site selling eBooks as a subscription. This model is growing and there are not too many processors that handle subscriptions that I'm aware of.......

Cubecart has a feature for you to sell digital products downloadable from a secured folder. Moreover you can setup an affiliate program.

All good points, but Clickbank has a lot of affiliates always looking for new products to promote - so something to keep in mind.

Zipidee?

You also can try paydotcom since it allowed you to handle your own affiliate and you can receive the payment using paypal. Much simple from clickbank. But, it depend on your target market. CB have a huge market of publisher compare to PDC.
