Another Storefront Option – PayLoadz

Whether you are brand new to the virtual goods industry or an old pro, PayLoadz can definitely be of use to you when it comes to selling digital files and other e-products. But what PayLoadz does best is offer you another storefront option to feature your products. And we all know that the more options you provide, the farther your reach will span.

A virtual storefront can help expand your business in many different ways. Without the overhead of having to rent a space, pay utilities, and man the staff, you are immediately getting ahead of the game. Additionally, by featuring your products online, shoppers don’t have to travel to your place of business – they can simply log onto the Internet and visit your store.

But remember, just because your online store doesn’t have a physical location it doesn’t mean you don’t have to work at it everyday. This means you have to keep the business going – looking for new methods to bring in customers and spread the word about your products is your main goal. That’s where having as many different options is key – and PayLoadz can help you realize this goal. Our innovative payment gateway and e-store platform is what every e-retailer needs.

PayLoadz makes it easy for you to sell digital files. Whether your products are images, e-books, music, or movies you will have no problem whatsoever. You simply sign up, list your products, and set your prices. Customers will pay you via PayPal or Google Checkout. Once payment is confirmed, the PayLoadz system takes care of the rest via file delivery. It’s fast, it’s easy, and it’s cost-effective. To top it off, everything is done automatically with very little overhead. The alternative to this process is to manually send out digital files for each purchase, which would end up costing you more time and money than you might be willing to spare.

You may already have your own website, and that’s great! Your website is essentially your virtual storefront – customers visit, check out your products, and then decide to make a purchase or not. But, what if your website is so new that it hasn’t started ranking yet? Remember, the more places that feature your product for sale, the better. So, in addition to your own website, you will definitely want to feature your products in different venues such as online auctions, forums, e-stores, and payment platforms like PayLoadz.

Our payment gateway and e-store platform can be used to deliver just about any digital good. It doesn’t matter if you specialize in software, movies, ringtones, music files, movie files, art, e-books, or other digital media. PayLoadz Store has several cateogries such as Music, Videos, Software, Books, Audio Books and Other that can be used to list almost all types of virtual goods under subjects ranging from chidren's books to self-help videos. If it can be downloaded, it can also be sold through PayLoadz. We offer plenty of tracking, payment options, and protection when it comes to hosting your files for sale. And what’s even better is that we can help build your business and expand your bottom line.

What Digital Downloads Can You Sell on PayLoadz?

Today, virtual goods and digital downloads are some of the hottest commodities on the market which means that, if you can, you should get a piece of the action! We understand that not all merchants have digital downloads available, but plenty of others can sell just about anything online! Obviously tangible goods can never be digitized such as furniture, clothing, and jewelry, but there are other items that can be both tangible and digital. This is an exciting new age and PayLoadz is here to help along the way.

Basically, if you have any type of intangible product, you can sell it on PayLoadz. Intangible products range from things like digital downloads, e-books, movies, videos, music files, digital photographs, sound bytes, software, and so much more. While many of these items can be purchased in tangible form, many people seek quick and easy access which makes the digital versions so popular and highly desired.

If you already have an online store, or even a traditional brick and mortar store, you might want to consider which of your products could be also offered in digital form. Perhaps you have a bookstore. Why not consider offering e-books to your customers through your website? If you don’t already have a website, you can still take advantage of our excellent and innovative platform. We are the ideal gateway between merchant and seller.

As long as you have the copyright or reseller rights to a digital good, you are welcome to use PayLoadz. We work with merchants that already have their own websites and those who do not, so our services are available to everyone! When it comes to digital media, a file is simply a file, so go ahead and list away! For example, you can sell video file types including avi, mpg, and mp4, text files including doc and txt, music files including wav, aiff, and mp3, and so much more.

The types of files you should sell will depend on what line of business you are in, your hobbies, and interests. And remember, you don’t even have to be a professional, though it does help. Many up and coming artists, authors, and musicians use the Internet to sell digital forms of their works before they get their big breaks. PayLoadz can help make that possible.

If you are interested in getting started selling your virtual goods online, take a look at our main website. PayLoadz is a great way to get started and offer a variety in payment and purchasing options to your customers. We like to remind new merchants that the more options you offer a client, the more likely you are to expand your bottom line, attract more customers, and make that sale!

Top Reasons Why People Buy Virtual Goods

In recent years, the virtual goods industry has become one of the biggest money makers worldwide. There is no escaping the fact that consumers are now buying virtual goods of all kinds, which is where PayLoadz comes in. We provide an invaluable service for both sellers and consumers in that we act as a gateway between the two. All transactions are propagated through our platform for an easy, guaranteed, and safe way to buy and sell virtual goods.

Even in economic downtimes, which we are currently experiencing, it is shown that virtual goods are a hot commodity. Just for reference, Payloadz is experiencing a steady growth of 30% in product offerings. This is actually both an economic and cultural phenomenon.

So, why is it that so many people continue to buy virtual goods, even when they are spending less and less money on other products? We’re going to take a look at why people buy virtual goods to make this a little easier to understand.

Virtual goods are sold in four main arenas, though these are not the only venues for virtual goods. Social networking communities, games, online dating sites, and virtual worlds are the four primary places in which virtual goods are bought and sold. In recent years, a new paradigm has been created – one in which these goods have increased in value.

One value, or benefit, of owning virtual goods is to help you stand out from the crowd. This means it affects your status either professionally or socially. Tangible goods that help adjust our status might include clothing, accessories, cars, and other objects. The same thing goes for virtual goods – what you have will help define who you are. Online behavior is amplified which means virtual goods are almost a necessity.

Virtual goods don’t have international boundaries, custom issues etc and the reach is really worldwide. The durability of virtual goods is another factor that has an effect on their popularity. Virtual goods never wear out unlike their physical counterparts; for example, an ebook will never wear out whereas its print counterpart will.

Buying virtual goods can also help you express yourself as they can help you socialize. There are plenty of ways that you can socialize – meet a friend for lunch, talk on the phone, host a party, or even chat online. However, socializing online is a bit different than in person. Virtual goods help you achieve this goal. By buying a virtual good, perhaps a digital music file, you could host it on your personal home page to express yourself.

If you want to gain in advantage, usually in different gaming experiences, virtual goods can help. These are digital objects that can help you reach a certain goal; sometimes this goal is conquering a computer game or surpassing another player. Just think of all the online games that you have heard of in which players buy and sell cheat codes and level advancements.

There are other reasons that people buy virtual goods, of course. In the business world, many people may purchase software to advance their business or protect their computers. There is virtually no end to the list of digital goods out there – just take a look at the PayLoadz Store to get an idea of what’s available. Basically, if you need a particular virtual good, it is probably out there – or better yet, why not develop it and sell it yourself through our platform?

The Hot New Commodity – Virtual Goods

As a member of PayLoadz, you probably already know that the hot new commodity these days is virtual goods. In fact, virtual goods and digital products have quickly become some of the top sellers in today’s market. Virtual goods range from everything from music files and movies to photographs and digital designs to software and eBooks. Since today’s world is so technologically advanced, it is no surprise that so many people are buying virtual goods.

Most virtual goods are simply a bunch of pixels on a website. For many people, this is nothing to spend money on, but for others, virtual goods are an integral part of day-to-day life. With so many gamers out there, a few dollars spent on an online game advancement code is well worth it. For those that frequent the social networks, a couple bucks for a virtual gift for a friend is a lot of fun. All of these virtual goods, and more, can be featured on the PayLoadz platform.

The virtual goods market is continually growing and has the potential to become one of the largest markets in the world. Billions of dollars are spent each year on virtual goods, bringing in a significant amount of revenue. This is incredibly interesting since most virtual goods only take a few people and very little funds to produce.

For those that don’t understand the selling of virtual goods, the practice may be seen as a swindle of sorts, but that really isn’t the case. Digital products are commonplace in social networks and businesses alike. They can be used for entertainment, education, and professional purposes. Remember, digital goods aren’t just e-cards, songs, and movies but also software, training programs, and technologies that can advance a company or improve someone’s life.

Virtual goods can be sold through just about any venue. If you have your own website or e-store, you are all set, but that can still be limiting. You’ll want your product to have the farthest reach possible which means you’ll want to explore other options. Very realistic and effective options include online auctions such as eBay and other online stores like Amazon. Additionally, payment platforms and gateways like us will be of great use to you. Remember the farther your reach the more revenue you will take in.

With PayLoadz you can sell just about any digital product that you can imagine. Whether you sell hints and codes for online games or software that professionals can use, PayLoadz is the gateway that connects you with your customers. Because virtual goods are such a hot commodity, we can definitely help your business reach great heights.

Tips for Buyers Using PayLoadz

Though we provide an invaluable service for merchants offering virtual goods including eBooks, software, music files, videos, and similar files, consumers also benefit. PayLoadz makes it easy for shoppers to find the digital materials they need and to make the purchase without any added hassle and headache. Though we don’t sell the products directly, we are an essential gateway between merchants and consumers. This article is intended to provide a few tips for buyers using the PayLoadz system.

As you already know, there is a wide selection of products offered through PayLoadz. All merchants that have listed products for sale, as well as our team, want to provide the most pleasant shopping experience possible. That’s why we, along with the merchants, have worked out different ways for consumers to gain access to merchants during and after the sale for help with the transaction itself as well as the final product. We want to make it easy for you to find your product, download your orders, and use the content you’ve purchased.

Getting Help from Sellers

Like many shoppers, you may have questions about a product before you make a purchase. This is expected, so PayLoadz offers an easy way to reach the seller – the “Contact Seller” option given along with each product’s description. If the seller also happens to have a website, that information will also be given. If you happen to have a question for the seller after you’ve made a purchase, you can take advantage of the suggestions above or you may look in a couple other places. Your PayPal transaction will show the seller’s email address and it will also be included in the download email that you receive right after making payment.

Locating Your Orders

There are a few different choices when it comes to finding your order after you’ve made the purchase. Once you finalize payment, PayLoadz will offer you a Payment Confirmation and Completion Page immediately. This page includes the total you’ve paid, the items you’ve ordered, and where you can download them. If you somehow miss this page or close it out, don’t worry; you’ll also get a download email that has all of that same information. If for any reason neither works for you, we do offer an Order Lookup System where you can search your order and locate the download link.

Other Tips

It is important to remember that PayLoadz is simply the gateway between the merchant and the consumer, so if you have specific product questions it is always best to reach out to the seller directly. This is especially true if you are having trouble downloading or using the virtual goods you have purchased. Additionally, if you have trouble with your PayPal or other payment method, contacting the payment gateway directly is also your best bet.

How PayLoadz Facilitates Selling Virtual Goods

Today, virtual goods are a hot commodity. They aren’t exactly tangible but they do provide a service. If you sell virtual goods such as eBooks, music files, games, documents, or videos, PayLoadz can help facilitate your sales. Read on to learn a little more about how we help you sell virtual goods.

When you offer virtual goods through PayLoadz, the shopping is as easy as can be. Any interested buyer can simply click on the link, make payment via several different payment options, and download the goods you’ve provided. We provide purchase tracking and a gateway for payment to facilitate the transaction.

Our system is completely automated and delivers your products to buyers instantly. Payment is, of course, required before any downloads are possible. The most common forms of payment through PayLoadz are Google Checkout and PayPal, though there are other options as well.

Using PayLoadz can actually increase your sales and there are a couple of different options you have to take advantage of the service. We’ve got two different versions of PayLoadz – Express and Standard. PayLoadz Express allows merchants to sell basic virtual goods online via a simple “1-2-3” process. The entire sales transaction takes only a matter of minutes. PayLoadz Express is ideal for single file sales. If you’re interested in selling multiple files, need software registration keys, or want to participate in the affiliate system, you’ll need the standard PayLoadz account.

Whether you’re just starting out or a seasoned virtual goods provider, PayLoadz is a great solution to use. There is no cost to set up an account, and you can select from a variety of payment options. However, you must have your own PayPal account to receive your payments from any sales made through PayLoadz. Immediately, you’ll see the potential for sales increase dramatically. Remember, PayLoadz will provide a unique code which can be placed on any site, email, or even digital signature to help you make your sales. The more exposure you have as a merchant, the more revenue you will bring in!

CD Delivery System

Having a physical back-up to any downloads that you may purchase can be a lifesaver for many people. What happens if your computer crashes or your system is overrun by a virus? As you probably already know, PayLoadz is a great place to buy digital media in downloadable formats. But, did you know that tangible CDs are now also available from PayLoadz?

Right now, we’re testing the waters in tangible sales. This means that actual CDs of certain downloaded files can be shipped directly to customers. Currently the CD delivery system is available on a limited basis and can be purchased as a single item.

What’s great about the CD delivery system is that customers can purchase a CD version of your product as a back-up to the downloaded version accessed from the PayLoadz system. We’ve found that quite a few customers prefer to have a hardcopy of their purchased materials in addition to the download. And plenty of sellers agree with this model. Based on this demand, we’ve implemented the CD delivery feature for a small fee.

As a merchant, you’ll need to upgrade your existing account to the “Enhanced Services” account. Existing sellers not already using the PayLoadz Percentage of Sales Pricing Account must simply upgrade their current account. Because customers will still pay you directly, we’ll need a way to recoup our cost for producing and shipping out the CDs on your behalf. We’ll charge your PayPal account on a nightly basis for each CD sale that occurred during the day. We charge $5.50 per CD sale. It’s up to you what you charge your customers.

It’s really easy to start using the CD delivery system. Just remember to enable the CD delivery option in your enhanced services section. If this option is not selected you will not be able to offer CDs to your customers. You can opt in or out of the CD delivery system at any time and it is not required to sell your product.

Another thing you’ll need to do is make a few changes to the Single Item Purchase GoLink for the product you wish to have an accompanying CD. You’ll either need to modify one that you’ve already got listed or simply submit a new product. Just remember that if you will be charging your customers for the CD, you will need to create a new product just for the CD. And don’t worry about that extra $5.50 that we charge, we’ll add it to the price automatically.

When you set up your products to offer an accompanying CD, you will want to test things out to make sure everything is working well. Just don’t make a real purchase as we aren’t able to provide refunds for CD payments. Please note that we may change this policy in the future; however, as it stands during the testing phases we do not have the tracking in place to allow for refunds.

Though we’re still perfecting the CD delivery system, we think it’s pretty neat! Eventually we hope to add the functionality to offer both a download and a CD in a single order in an effort to streamline the entire process.

All about PayLoadz Express

As a member, you already know that PayLoadz is an excellent solution for selling your digital products online. Our system is safe, secure, and efficient. But do you know anything about PayLoadz Express? If not, we hope that this post will help you become a little more familiar with this great option.

First of all, PayLoadz Express happens to be the quickest and easiest way to sell your product and have it delivered immediately through our system. Any PayLoadz member can take advantage of this for any file they want to sell. Basically, you provide some information about the file and your product so that the system can generate a link that you can use anywhere on the Internet to make your product available for purchase. This means you can place it on your website, in emails, on forums – anywhere you like! When customers make the purchase, they do so through PayPal.

You may be wondering how exactly the files are delivered to your customers. Well, when your payment is confirmed through PayPal, we send the files directly to the buyer. Our system stores your files securely and they can only be accessed through special links that are generated specifically when a purchase is made. When a payment is completed, our servers will release the download link directly to the customer. An email will also be sent to the address provided during the purchase. For customers that cannot access the email or confirmation page, they can use our PayLoadz Order Lookup System.

Don’t worry if you don’t already have a PayPal account. You can still use PayLoadz Express to sell your products anywhere online – including eBay! There are plenty of payment options you can provide your customers, but in order for you to collect your funds from any PayLoadz sales you will need to set up a PayPal account eventually. So you might as well do so now.

There’s really no limit to the types of files that you can sell using PayLoadz Express. As long as you own the copyright and are the author or creator, any file will do. Sellers use PayLoadz Express to sell eBooks, software, music, photos, and videos. The file types include, but certainly aren’t limited to .mp3, .exe, .zip, .jpg, .pdf, and so on. All files are scanned by the PayLoadz system for any malicious content such as viruses and spyware.

If you’re interested in using PayLoadz Express you may be wondering what it’s going to cost. You should know that it is free to create and store any product as long as it is under 10MB. You can still sell larger files of course, but there is a billing agreement process that you must follow. It’s important to know that PayLoadz Express doesn’t charge any fees for selling an item, but PayPal does for receiving payment. Usually, these fees range from $.30 + 2.9% of the sales price, or less. However, if your sales happen to exceed $100 in a one-month period, you will be required to pay a fee and upgrade your account.

Finding Your Order and What to do With Your Download

Once you’ve placed your order on the PayLoadz system you will need to find your order and access the download. There are several different ways to find your order download page, which makes things easy on you! You’ll be able to access your order on the Payment Confirmation and Completion Page, the download email, and even within the Order Lookup System.

The Payment Confirmation and Completion Page is usually the easiest way to find your order, and it also happens to be the quickest way. Once you have made your purchase and made your payment, the PayLoadz site will present you with a confirmation screen. This screen will show you the details of your order as well as a link to access the download page. Using the Payment Confirmation and Completion Page offers a direct way of accessing your purchase immediately.

If you choose not to access your order through the Payment Confirmation and Completion Page the download email is the next best method. Remember, we send an email as soon as your order is placed. This instant email is sent to the email address you provide during the checkout process. The email will contain the same information as the Payment Confirmation and Completion Page including the details of your order and the download location.

We understand that emails get accidentally discarded and web browsers get closed, so we have developed our unique Order Lookup System. You can access the PayLoadz Order Lookup System at http://payloadz.com/d1/lookup.asp. This page allows you to fill out a short form with your PayPal email address, the Invoice ID number, and your last name. Just remember that the Invoice ID will be the same as the Auction ID.

Once you’ve found your order and the download information, you simply need to download the files to your computer. Downloading your order is really easy! If you’ve downloaded any file before, you’ll be fine. When you download your file, just be sure to remember where on your computer you’ve saved it for quick and easy access.

The way that you use your purchased content is really up to you and depends on what the files are that you bought. The merchants we feature on PayLoadz offer a wide variety of downloadable files ranging from video, software, eBooks, and audio. Once you have downloaded the files you’ll just need to open them up to ensure that they are in good working order. As long as you have the proper programs installed, your products should work without a problem.

If there is ever an issue using your purchased content, you’ll need to check out the seller’s instructions or even contact the seller for more assistance. Contacting the seller is actually quite easy – we don’t make things too difficult at PayLoadz! Simply click on the “Contact Seller” option on the PayLoadz system and send a message. You may also be able to find their information from their website or your PayPal history.

Using PayLoadz To Sell Digital Files On eBay

Even though eBay changed their policy on their Digital Goods listing flow, you can still use this popular site to sell your digital files. We offer you the option of listing your product through our PayLoadz eBay Store if you do not have your own eBay account.

How you list it is up to you as long as you use the normal auction listing process. We recommend that you simply list the order lookup URL from PayLoadz in your listing. The URL will look something like this: http://PayLoadz.com/d1/lookup.asp.

To sell your downloads on eBay:

  1. Get the item name for the product you want to sell from your PayLoadz account to enter into the eBay auction. You must use the exact item name that is in the PayLoadz system as your auction name so we know how to track the item you sold.
  2. Log into you eBay account – or in the PayLoadz eBay store following the appropriate directions – and select the selling tab in order to create a listing.
  3. Choose the type of auction you wish – we suggest ‘Fixed Price Auction’ – and the category your product will go into. Do not use the Digital Item category.
  4. Enter your item information and remember to use the name of your PayLoadz product as the auction name. For example, if you name the PayLoadz file ‘My Book’ then you need to name the eBay auction ‘My Book’. Make sure you include a copyright notice in your listing so your customers know that your digital file is authorized for sale.
  5. Include the Order Lookup URL in your item description so that your customer knows where to go to get the download.
  6. Enter the number of downloads available and the price per each. You should make the number you have available and the price of the item match what you have listed on your PayLoadz account.
  7. Set your payment and file delivery options making sure that your payment e-mail and your PayLoadz e-mail match.
  8. Confirm your listing and submit it.

As soon as we receive a confirmation that the file has been paid for we will release the download file to your customer.

The process listed above is also good for other auctions sites where you may wish to sell your digital files. The key to having a successful auction using PayLoadz is making sure that the auction name and URLs all match those in your PayLoadz account. If they do not, the system will not be able to allow your customer to download the file they have purchased. If you ensure that everything matches, you will find that this is an effective way of selling your digital files.

Set Up A Sample File

PayLoadz is your way of getting your digital files out to the world and it is a very easy program to use. In order to attract potential customers you can set up a sample file for them to review. You do not have to do this, but it is a way to get people to sit up and take notice of what you have to offer. This is one of the many services PayLoadz offers you.

After you have registered with PayLoadz and set your account you should fill out your profile so everyone knows who you are and what type of digital files you are selling. Setting up a sample file is an optional step, and you do not have to do it in order to just jump in and offering your files. But it is something to consider to help your online business.

To set up a sample file you should log into your account and select the ‘Selling’ tab. Click on the ‘Product summary’ area and take a look at the screen. Here is where you will add the product you are offering. It is a good idea to have a product loaded into the PayLoadz system so that you can add a sample file to it. Once you have picked the product you are adding the sample to, select the ‘details’ link. It will open up a page with all the product details listed on it.

In this product details section you will see a category that states ‘Sample file’. The default setting for this is ‘None. Click here to add sample file.’ The word ‘here’ is a clickable link. Select that link to add a sample file to the product you have selected. You will be presented with a few options here and you want to select option #3 ‘use existing file on PayLoadz secure server.’ Check the box for the sample file that you want to set and then click the ‘set sample file’ button at the bottom. Your sample is now set and your customers can download it for review.

If you have not loaded your sample file into the PayLoadz system you will need to do so before setting the file to the corresponding product. You can upload the file by using the ‘manage and upload files’ link in the ‘selling’ tab under your account.

PayLoadz is a unique system for selling your digital files and it offers you plenty of options. Setting up a sample file helps your customers make an informed decision about whether or not they want to purchase what you have. From eBooks to audio files, PayLoadz is ready to help you.

eBay Listing in Product Setup

This is a small, but good enhancement to the process of our system. We have the PayLoadz eBay Store that sellers can choose to list their items in for free. The store has been pretty successful with a good volume of transactions and a 100% positive feedback score (which in itself is a testament to the reliability of the delivery system in my opinion).
Approved sellers were able to list their items in the eBay store after creating their products through a separate process previously. It would require them to re-enter a lot of the same information found in their PayLoadz Store listings. We have now consolidated the process and have placed a checkbox on the product setup page that allows the seller to automatically list in our eBay store using the same information as entered for the PayLoadz Store.

Since we have to keep tighter controls of the quality of products listed in our eBay store, new sellers will have their auction information posted to a Pending listing where we will review and approve/reject the listings via an admin process. This keeps the quality of products high.

This new system should dramatically increase the amount of inventory available to our eBay Store and demonstrate to the sellers that eBay is a viable venue for selling digital goods online. Perhaps even convince them to create their own eBay Store and sell their goods directly themselves.

Enjoy!
