Using Video to Increase Download Sales

When it comes to increasing your sales, there are many things to consider. As a PayLoadz member, you already are offering virtual goods online, but how are you marketing those products? If email campaigns and PPC are just not hitting the mark these days, why not think about thinking outside the box a bit?

Because technology is always changing and the public is always modifying the way in which it takes in information, your options are always expanding. One way to increase your sales today is to use video to do so. So, how does video improve your sales margins? Video is engaging and can emotionally connect with viewers – just like ads on television. Video brings a sense of personality to your business and can even boost your credibility and professionalism.

There are many different ways that you can use video to increase your sales. The most effective ways to use video is by incorporating reality video, stories, and testimonials into your website’s content. Such videos allow your customers to connect with your product visually and remember, visual impressions can run quite deep. And don’t worry if you don’t have your own website. You can even incorporate videos into your product pages in the PayLoadz Store. Refer to one of our videos explaining how to create a product listing.

When producing a video clip for your product there are some basics to keep in mind, and they’re really quite simple. Just remember, people like stories – they like to tell stories, hear stories, and to share stories. Conveying a story through images about your product can be integral to increased sales – as long as it is done professionally and with expertise.

The customer response to video is always much stronger than print and direct marketing ads on their own. When used in conjunction with traditional advertising and marketing efforts, videos can make a huge difference on your bottom line – especially testimonial videos.

The power of video is simply undeniable. It can generate traffic and give you the chance to presell your product to viewers. Videos also let you build a relationship with potential (and returning) customers by making them feel more comfortable with you and your product. If you have your own website, videos can even help improve your site’s rank in the search engines. And don’t forget, videos can go viral. So posting your videos on sites like YouTube and other video sharing communities can really go a long way.

After learning what you’ve just learned, we’ve put together a couple of ways you can use video to boost your sales:

· Product reviews

· Interview experts

· Create product showcases

· Consumer video reviews

· Sales videos

· Video blogging

The important thing is to have fun with your videos while at the same time offering your customers something informative and memorable.

What are Donation Downloads?

You may have heard the phrase “donation download” a time or two as you’ve read through our site or surfed our blog, but you may not actually know what we mean? The concept behind donation downloads is really quite interesting, and can even help increase your overall sales in the long run if you take advantage of this feature. Basically, a donation download is one in which you allow your customers to choose the amount they wish to pay for the download they receive. With a donation based download, your customers will enter their own price during checkout.

Right now, you’re probably thinking that PayLoadz has officially lost its marbles, right? How can one ever make any money by allowing customers to choose what they want to pay? What about overhead, production costs, and profits? Well, those are all very good points, but let’s think about it for a moment. Yes, you are allowing customers to pay what they choose. Yes, you may not be making a profit. However, in most cases, customers will pay what they think is fair for a download. Often, this is more than enough to cover your expenses and a little extra.

It isn’t hard to implement donation downloads for your products through the PayLoadz platform. It’s also pretty easy to get started if you are selling your virtual goods through your own website or blog as well. The best, and most direct way, is to set up donation buttons through PayPal. Here are the simple steps:

  1. Set the donation download price to at least $0.01 on your PayLoadz listing. (We can’t allow it to be $0.00 at this time.)
  2. Use the Button Code Generator at https://www.payloadz.com/sell/product_codegen.asp
  3. Choose one of the PayPal options presented to you.
  4. Edit the block of code you are shown to allow for the donation amount.
  5. Make sure you save the updated code into your website’s HTML source code.
  6. Always test your changes.

There are more detailed steps located in the PayLoadz Help section. But don’t worry, getting set up with donation downloads will only take a few minutes of your time.

Donation downloads can be used in a variety of ways. You may choose to use such an option if you want your proceeds to be donated to your favorite charity. Perhaps your virtual goods are related to a cause. Donation downloads can also be a great marketing tool. Perhaps you are offering a new virtual good and want to test it out on the market. Allowing customers to pay what they wish is a great way to test its popularity, functionality, and what it’s worth in the public’s eye.

Aside from donation downloads, you may also want to offer your customers free download files, sample files, or even special discounts. When used in conjunction with donation downloads, you will definitely see your sales increase. If your customers feel that they are getting a deal, which they are, they will become returning, loyal (and happy) customers.

How Good Customer Service Can Boost Your Sales

If you want to increase your sales dramatically you should definitely shift your focus to your customer service. While attracting new customers to purchase your digital downloads is important, enticing proven customers to buy again might be a challenge. In retail (and most other industries) the best sales prospect is one that has already been converted. In other words, your current customers are your best bet. So, how can you do this?

First of all, getting your past customers to return to you will save you a ton of money in the marketing department. Take a few minutes and think of all the customers who have purchased your products in the past, but haven’t come back since. You probably made the most common mistake that business owners do – assuming that once they have purchased from you, they’ll continue to do so loyally. But if you don’t maintain and nurture that relationship, you might as well have never had their business in the first place.

You should think about the reasons a customer might leave you. Although there are quite a few, there are some of the most common:

  • Unfair pricing
  • Unresolved complaints
  • Better deal from competitors
  • They felt you didn’t care

These reasons are all easily dealt with and they make perfect sense. Business owners want to avoid inactive clients at all costs. Just think about it – customers often make purchases from a particular vendor because they have built up a relationship with that provider. If you don’t nurture that relationship from the start, you can basically kiss that customer goodbye.

While you should definitely seek new clients, your existing customers are incredibly important. When you consider the fact that repeat customers spend almost 40% more than new customers, referrals from repeat customers are more frequent than non-customers, and it costs a lot more to sell something to a potential customer than to a returning customer. You’ll want to take a closer look at your customer service.

Boost your sales with good customer service. It isn’t going to be hard at all. Treating your customers with respect and as if they are your strategic business partners can go a long way. Clients and customers who feel satisfied and cared for are going to spend more money on your products and make more recommendations to their friends, family, and colleagues. This also means that you should offer returning customers special deals, free samples, and other perks. The more you give, the more you are going to get in return.

The bottom line is that the better your customer service, the better sales you will enjoy. Do your best to attract new customers, but once you have them, keep them! Keeping this in mind will only boost your sales and your overall business.

How Product Sample Files Can Help Your Download Sales

Everyone loves a free sample, so why not enhance your sales on PayLoadz with product samples? It is no secret that product samples can only help your sales when offered. Though you need to get the word out about your virtual goods and work as hard as possible to ensure that people know what you have to offer, the product itself is often its own best salesman. Obviously we don’t mean that your product without all the hard work will magically sell itself, but the impression, atmosphere, and tools you give it all contribute to your success.

This is why product samples are so important, especially for virtual goods. Regardless of the cost of your product and what you put into your marketing efforts, product samples are usually the most cost-effective selling method out there, and have been for years. Think back to the days of door-to-door salesmen – didn’t they always have a product sample with them? The principle behind that strategy has not and will not change, regardless of technology!

It really doesn’t matter what type of product you sell in order to use a sample to get your foot in potential clients’ doors. Samples can be applied to anything and is especially useful for digital goods. Many customers would like to see what you’re offering and to test the download waters. Are there glitches? Is the software or file compatible with their computer system? Samples can answer all sorts of questions right off the bat.

One of the main draws of using product samples is that your whole advertising campaign can change. Once you offer free product samples, you can use the word “free” in your ads. Free stuff always brings in readers and visitors. That’s the hook – free samples. Go ahead and reel them in with your awesome products!

Offering product samples gets action. Just with a great title and description, a shopper may not be ready to commit to becoming a buyer. Throw a sample into the mix and you’ve got someone who is ready to learn a little more about your product. He or she will order the sample, download it, and won’t be able to move on without testing it out. This is a great way to spread the word about your product and gain new clients.

Product samples aren’t expensive to offer and will end up increasing your sales and overall investment in the long run. You can offer free downloads, product sample files, or a combination of both through the PayLoadz system. You can also use discount codes to those who have sampled your product for the full version. The possibilities are endless. In fact, PayLoadz makes it incredibly easy to set up a sample, offer discounts and free downloads. We encourage you to be creative with using product samples when selling your goods.

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.

Selling MediaFire.com Files on PayLoadz

You may not have already known that it is possible to sell MediaFire files through the PayLoadz platform and gateway, but it is! We believe in giving out clients and their customers as many options as possible, which is why we thought it important to introduce the ability of selling MediaFire.com files on the blog.

If you’re not already familiar with MediaFire, it is a file hosting website with a little something extra. It allows for an easy and secure way to host as well as share any files such as presentations, videos, documents, and images with all the functionality you could hope for – easy uploading and downloading, management, and sharing. MediaFire caters to just about everyone, ranging from individuals to artists and musicians to businesses and professionals as well as students. You’re probably getting the idea of why PayLoadz and MediaFire work so well together!

Because MediaFire allows you to host all of your files on just one site, you don’t have to worry about the disk space, bandwidth, or hosting issues that come with having your own website. Just like PayLoadz, you can even access your MediaFire account from just about any computer with an Internet connection. The two services complement each other perfectly.

In order to sell any MediaFire files through the PayLoadz system, you must have an account with both services. If you don’t already, sign up with MediaFire.com – it’s fast, easy, and you’ll be set up in no time. To sign up with PayLoadz, simply fill out our easy registration form. Once you’ve got an account with both, you’re ready to roll.

Getting set up to have MediaFire and PayLoadz work together is fairly simple. And if you already use MediaFire, you’ll definitely want to incorporate that account into your PayLoadz services. The first thing you need to do is access your MediaFire account. From there, you’ll upload any file you want to sell via PayLoadz to that account. The MediaFire system will walk you through the entire process. Once the file is uploaded, open up the folder containing the file and right-click the icon for the file in question. You’ll be copying the link location.

From there, you’ll need to log into your PayLoadz account and paste the file’s link location into your account. The screen will reveal the code and you’ll need to update your account by clicking the “Update” button that you’ll see. Once you’ve done all this, just test everything out by using the “Test Delivery” feature we offer. Make sure you actually click the “Download URL” link to make sure everything works as it should.

Though we’ve just given you a broad overview and a few simple steps to getting MediaFire and PayLoadz to work together, we hope you’ll try it out. We can’t stress enough that the more options and choices you give your customers, the better off your sales will be! Good luck!

Why You Should Have a Featured Listing

Listing your virtual goods on PayLoadz for sale is a great way to expand your bottom line, increase your sales, and reach more customers, but is that all you can do to boost your profit margins? Absolutely not! You can achieve even more success by using our Featured Listing feature. Let us tell you a little bit more about what Featured Listings are on PayLoadz and how they can help you.

A Featured Listing, or a featured product, will provide your product, or line of products if you choose to feature all of them, much more exposure than just the regular listing. Featured Listings appear on the PayLoadz Store home page as well in each digital goods category. In most cases, a Featured Listing will outperform and outsell those products listed normally by up to three times. We’d say that’s pretty significant! So, overall, your investment in listing products as Featured Listings definitely pays for itself.

If you are in the business of selling virtual goods, it is likely that you are also interested in making money doing so. A Featured Listing can definitely help you make a better profit. Such listings are placed above normal listings in their respective categories, which make them the first items shoppers will see. We know that first impressions really do make a difference, which is why we are offering this service.

Getting a Featured Listing is a piece of cake, really. You simply choose to make a product a Featured Listing when you add it to your roster, or even at a later time. Once you decide to feature a product, get ready for more exposure in our eStore! However, as we mentioned, there is a small investment when it comes to featuring your products. There is a $0.10 per click charge that is applied to any Featured Listing when a shopper finds your product through our Featured Listing placements.

We are so confident that you will benefit exponentially from using Featured Listings, that we are offering a bonus for all new users. Right now, we will match the amount you deposit into your Featured Listing account. So, for example, if you put in $20, we will throw in $20 making $40 available to you for the service. (Once you make that first payment, we’ll automatically credit your account.)

If you’d like to see a little more about out Featured Listing services, go ahead and check out the page in our demo account that outlines the service. Simply check out https://www.payloadz.com/sell/listing_overview.asp to get a better idea of how a Featured Listing can be placed and what your Featured Listing account will look like. Remember, if you have any questions, we are always happy to help! We do suggest that sellers take advantage of this service and at least try it out!

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!

Five Tips for Selling on PayLoadz

One of the best and easiest ways to increase your sales and spread the reach of your product is to sell your product online. An even better way to achieve this goal is to sell digital goods, and that’s where PayLoadz comes in. PayLoadz can help you build your online business, increase your profits, boost your sales, and strengthen your bottom line.

The sale of digital items can be extremely profitable. There is no inventory to store, no postage costs, and very little overhead. This means you can make a lot of money without spending a significant amount. However, it does not happen overnight. Using PayLoadz is definitely a way to help boost your online business, and we thought we’d offer up some useful tips to help you make the most of our services.

1 – Use the PayLoadz Store

Always remember that the more venues in which you offer your product the more sales you will have. So, in addition to eBay, your own website, affiliates, and other online auction venues, the PayLoadz Store is a viable option. Our store allows for customers to search for, find your digital goods, and check out all in a few simple steps.

2 – Take Advantage of the PayLoadz Affiliate Program

Everyone could use a little bonus. Think of our affiliate program as a bonus system. When you join the program you can earn a little extra cash by promoting other PayLoadz members’ products while they do the same for you. Remember, PayLoadz Affiliate members will also promote your products for a conversion fee. It works out great for each party involved.

3 – Offer Sample Downloads

Since all of the products we offer on PayLoadz are digital items, it is usually pretty easy for merchants to offer samples of the products they offer for download. A sample will allow potential customers to test out your product and familiarize themselves with it. If they like it, they will be more likely to make the purchase. PayLoadz allows sample of video and audio files to be created for the buyer to view.

4 – Allow Subscriptions

Many times, virtual goods can be upgraded. If your digital products are the types that are frequently updated with improvements, you may want to offer customers the option for a subscription. This will allow them to purchase upgrades, tie-ins, and expansion packs quickly and easily. It can save customers money and keep them loyal to you.

5 – Use PayLoadz GoLinks

PayLoadz GoLinks are ideal for merchants that don’t actually have their own website but can be used by those that do as well. PayLoadz GoLinks are simple pieces of HTML code that you can place on almost any location online that when clicked will direct the visitor to the PayLoadz page for your product. These can be placed in emails, forum signatures, chat rooms, and just about anywhere else you can place a link!

6 - Offer Discounts

You can offer discounts on products using PayLoadz. We provide several types of discount options such as Discount Code Flat Fee, Number of Items Flat Fee Discount, Number of Items Percentage Discount etc.

7 - Use Featured Listing

Featured Listings for your products provide more exposure for your products in PayLoadz store. As for performance, Featured products outsell the normal ones by three times providing great value for your investment in Featured Listings.

The PayLoadz Shopping & Selling Experience

We believe that the overall shopping experience for both buyer and merchant should be fast, easy, and efficient, which is why we have carved our own niche in the digital goods market. We provide a quick and cost-efficient means to buy and sell virtual goods such as movies, software, digital art, music, e-books, and other digital files. In short, PayLoadz is a powerful and necessary e-commerce service.

We invite any company that sells any form of downloadable materials to give us a try. Aside from serving as a platform to provide merchants with a means to sells these goods, we also manage and track the transactions that go through our system, transactions that go through eBay, and provide a place for merchants to store their digital files. Furthermore, we can handle product key registration and file delivery.

We maintain all your product and sales history and you can access the same by visiting https://www.payloadz.com/sell/products.asp (requires logging into the account).

The way PayLoadz works is quite simple, which makes for a pleasant shopping experience for customers. Once merchants upload and configure their files, we will generate a software code that they can simply paste onto their websites, in forum signatures, and just about any other place possible. When placed on a website, a “Buy Now” button will appear that will make the transaction possible.

When customers browse through a merchant’s website, or any other venue they have featured their digital good, the “Buy Now” button makes the purchase quite painless. The button adds the product to the shopping cart, which works just like any other online cart. When customers check out, they are prompted for their PayPal information, Google Checkout information, or credit card. There is no hassle when it comes to making a purchase. Once the sale is complete, we send the customer an email confirming the purchase with a receipt and the location from which they may download their purchase. Vendors will always receive a simultaneous email that announces the sale.

We want to ensure that you receive full payment for your product and the buyer also receives appropriate discounts, if applicable. For this we have a feature called “Price Checking” that sends an e-mail notification whenever the buyer somehow does not pay the correct amount or the discounts are not properly applied. The download is blocked in such scenarios and the seller, upon receiving the notification, has the option to manually send the download link to the buyer. This feature can be enabled or disabled from your account settings by visiting https://www.payloadz.com/account/profile.asp.

Because we know security is of the utmost importance, we support keys that allow customers to register and validate the products they purchase. These keys can be tied specifically to transactions or remote key scripts that run on remote servers that create the keys.

There are a number of optional features that allow customers to have the freedom to decide how, where, and when to make their purchases. Merchants can list their items in the PayLoadz Store, on eBay, or even their own website. This allows ease of use for anyone interested in buying virtual goods. We also store a record of the transaction so that merchants can keep track of sales and customers may locate their products at a later date.

How to Use PayLoadz without a Website

Chances are if you have digital goods that you would like to sell you probably have a website or online store. If you don’t already have your own website, how can you sell digital goods online? You may find the answer surprisingly simple – PayLoadz. PayLoadz can be used to sell digital goods without the seller having a site of their own. The PayLoadz Store makes this possible – and easy.

Using PayLoadz to sell digital goods is quite easy, even without a website. One way that many sellers take advantage of the system is to feature their products on eBay and other online auction sites. By far, eBay is the most popular among auction sites that are compatible with PayLoadz and it can also be considered quite a powerful marketing tool as well as a simple selling platform. You can use either an eBay auction or eBay store to feature your products sold through PayLoadz.

In addition to eBay, there are other ways to use PayLoadz without a website. The PayLoadz Store is probably the most direct way to achieve this. You can simply list your items in our store which allows customers to locate and purchase your products directly from our platform. This is simple, direct, and efficient. The PayLoadz store works just like any other shopping platform you’ve ever visited online.

If the PayLoadz Store and eBay isn’t your cup of tea, why not consider using affiliates to sell your products from their respective websites? Affiliate marketing is a truly invaluable tool, especially for companies selling digital goods and services. Affiliates feature your products on their sites, newsletters, and emails and drive traffic to your product. You simply pay them a percentage of your sales each time one is referred by your affiliate. Our most selling products have Affiliate Commission (% ) varying from 10 – 50%

When you use PayLoadz to sell virtual goods, we generate a unique URL, known as a GoLink, for your product. This link can be placed just about anywhere – on your digital signature, in emails, in forums, and even in chat rooms. This means you can place the link anywhere to expand your reach and generate sales.

We are so confident that even without a website PayLoadz can boost your revenue and increase sales that we will make you a guarantee. If the PayLoadz service doesn’t help sell more of your product, we will pay you 150% of the first month’s fee if you do not have any sales at all. How many online gateways and platforms can claim the same? If you’re interested in learning more about how to use PayLoadz without a website of your own, you can download and view the free demo.

PayLoadz offers plenty of opportunity to boost sales. Remember, in order to succeed in any type of business, the more options you provide your customers, the better. If you don’t already have your own website to feature your digital products, PayLoadz can help.

Using Free Download Files & Discounts

As a business owner you are probably always looking for ways to help increase your revenue, extend the reach of your product, and to succeed. When you join PayLoadz there are a few tricks that can help increase your business, and many of our members do not even realize it! A great way to draw attention to your product is by offering free downloads, perhaps to new or returning customers, and to also offer discounts from time to time. Here are some ways to use free download files and discounts with your PayLoadz account.

It is easy to forget that because you are selling products through the PayLoadz system that you can also offer download links for free to any customer. This means exactly what you think – any user can download a link without making any sort of payment to you. While you do not want to offer only free downloads, a free download is a simple and easy way for a potential customer to get acquainted with your product. That is why we allow free downloads.

Using a free download file through PayLoadz is actually quite simple. As long as you have a PayLoadz account set up and your profile is all filled out, you are ready. You just need to start creating free download files for your account. However, your account level must at least be Premium I in order to offer free download files.

In your account, go to the Selling section then click on Manage and Upload Files. There will be a checkbox next to the Allow Free Download option – check it. You will also need to click on the button that says “SET FOR FREE DOWNLOAD.” This will generate a link for your free download that can be placed on your or other sites. If you want, you can include the free download within a product you are featuring on PayLoadz. Otherwise, this free download link can be placed in emails, your site, and any other marketing materials to help spread your reach.

Discounts are another great way of increasing your business with PayLoadz. You may want to offer special discounts to brand new customers to bring the business in or for returning customers, to keep business flowing. You can create new discounts easily. This can be done from the Selling section of your account.

One thing to remember is that if you plan to use discounts, you will also need to enable the PayLoadz Shopping Cart as well as one of the GoLink button codes or links for purchase in order for your discount option to work properly. There is a wide range of discounts that you can offer, some of which include a flat fee off and a percentage off. There are variations of these two models including a flat fee or percentage discount based on the number of items a customer purchases or the amount of money a customer is spending in a single purchase.

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.

Building Your Affiliates

We know just how important expanding your product and reach is to your success. One of the most effective ways to achieve this goal is through an affiliate system and affiliate marketing. PayLoadz features a prominent affiliate system that allows other people, known as affiliates, to market your product in exchange for a payment. The payment can be a percentage of the sale or a flat rate – that’s up to you.

Though affiliate marketing can provide a much broader scope for your product that translates into more revenue for you, there is a lot of work that needs to be put into it. You must build your affiliates just as you would build your customer base. Remember, your affiliates will spread the word about your particular product in exchange for a payment. They will be your marketing team, so sharing a portion of your sales will only have a positive effect. However, you must keep your affiliates interested in working with you.

So, the question is, how do you build your affiliates? First and foremost, you should have a product that is worth marketing. In addition to having a solid product, you must know your product inside and out. The more you know about your product the more information you can provide your affiliates with. Informed affiliates are the most successful – as long as they know all about your products they can spread the word to targeted audiences. Targeted audiences are crucial to the success of any business. Just think about it – who would be successful selling dog food to cat owners?

In order to build affiliates you need to offer competitive payments for their efforts. Ever heard the old adage “it takes money to make money?” Well, it happens to be true. You need to put money into affiliate marketing for it to work. So, depending on your product and your budget, you need to set a fair yet motivating pay rate for each converting sale. You want to keep your affiliates happy so that they continue to market your product.

Aside from competitive payout rates, you might consider rewards and other benefits for your most successful affiliates. Such rewards might include a bonus for achieving a certain number of conversions in a month or increased payouts for a selected period of time. Just keep in mind that the happier your affiliates are, the more they will promote your product. They may also refer their friends and colleagues to your affiliate program which will only increase your reach.

PayLoadz encourages all merchants to participate in our affiliate program. The program helps everyone involved – it helps build your revenue and reach and helps make your affiliates some extra money. And what’s even better is that you can also be an affiliate for other merchants in our network. Knowing that, the possibilities are endless!

The Affiliate System

When you offer a product or service online, it is always a good idea to use an affiliate system. Affiliate marketing and relationships help not only spread the word about your own products and boost sales but can help you make a significant amount of extra money while you’re at it. We know the importance of an effective affiliate system which is why PayLoadz has implemented our own to help you become more successful.

The affiliate system that we offer at PayLoadz is designed to complement your efforts and expand your product reach. Remember, when you join an affiliate program, other people market your products to targeted audiences. This is an extremely effective way to get the word out about your product. The way it works is that these other parties, known as affiliates, market your product in exchange for a financial payout for any successful sale that is attributed to them. These sales are called conversions in many cases.

Our affiliate system is ideal for those of you just starting out with a new product, though it is also extremely beneficial to those whose products are already established. By working with affiliates you can generate leads and name branding even more quickly than if you were doing it on your own. Your customer base and profits will both increase simply by sharing a small portion of your sales. And remember, you can decide what payout scheme is right for you and you’re never locked in so you can modify your affiliate payouts as needed.

If you want to join the PayLoadz affiliate system, it’s really simple. However, you will be required to use the PayLoadz GoLink code on all of your sales pages to ensure that your affiliates are properly credited for their payment. The GoLink code allows for efficient tracking of your affiliates and all of their conversions.

Setting up your PayLoadz affiliate program is really quite easy. Simply go into your account and you’ll see the Affiliate Sales Information section near the bottom of the Product Setup page. It is here that you’ll fill in the rules of your affiliate commissions including the fee to be paid for each converted sale. At this time you’ll also be able to use the Affiliate Lister feature as well as the Affiliate URL which are both very useful tools to help generate additional affiliates for your product on PayLoadz.

Members of PayLoadz affiliate system are rewarded greatly – up to $175 per sale is possible, though it does vary from product to product. There are actually two different aspects to our system. If you’re selling digital goods on our site, you can list your product as a possible affiliate product and let others market it in exchange for a fee based on a per sale scale. However, you can also join the program and earn extra cash from PayLoadz directly when you place our ad syndication on your website and market our services.

Offering Subscription Downloads

As you become more and more familiar with all the great features of the PayLoadz system, you’ll find that offering subscription downloads may suit your product scheme quite well. Remember, the more options you have to offer to potential buyers the more likely they are to end up purchasing your product. Subscription downloads are an excellent example of how to offer this kind of choice variety to your customers.

With a subscription download, your buyers are able to “test” out your product for a trial period, which is usually a great way to lock down customers. Buyers often feel a lot more comfortable when they can try something out for a period of time to make sure it suits their needs. The subscription system through PayLoadz is a great way to achieve this.

The subscription system is used in conjunction with PayPal, which is a payment method growing exponentially in popularity. PayPal offers a subscription payment option which allows you to set a trial period, introductory rates, regular rates, and special offers. It is quite a versatile option for your buyers. Just remember, if you want to offer subscription downloads you’ll need to use the PayLoadz GoLink code format on any of your sales pages.

The PayLoadz GoLink code is easily obtained directly from our system via the Selling tab in your account. You’ll need to access this after you’ve created the products you want to sell through PayLoadz. Once you’ve gone into the Selling tab you’ll find the GoLink code in the Details section of the Product Summary. This option is available for any and all products you have listed with us.

Since subscription downloads are optional the feature will be included in the section for any optional features we have available. Through our system you will be redirected to the form to set up your subscription profile which can be unique to each of your products.

When you complete this process the PayLoadz system will generate a button code for your website which can be easily pasted into your site’s existing code. This button will allow your customers to opt for a subscription or trial period. You can also change the details of your subscriptions at any time.

It is important to understand that the GoLink code generated by the PayLoadz system and placed on your site will automatically redirect to PayPal. This allows buyers to easily and quickly set up their first payment through their PayPal account and get started right away. This works great because your PayPal account is also credited immediately during this process. Once the subscription is paid for, a download can be emailed to the buyer almost instantly. However, you will need to send any subscription downloads manually, though this is easily done through our “Send a Download” option in your account.
