Why Product Images are Useful for Downloads

Did you know that text and images stimulate different parts of the brain? When you think about it that probably seems pretty obvious. When you have a section of text, it is vibrant and chronological which means that it takes a certain amount of time in order to explain or understand it. In contrast, images can be understood quite quickly, within a matter of seconds. This is why it is so important to use product images when you list your digital goods for sale.

At PayLoadz, we know that the Internet has become an integral part of daily life. We get our news online, we stay in touch with friends, family, and colleagues, and we do a significant amount of shopping on the World Wide Web. Because we are so connected, images have quickly become a huge part of any online experience. Shopping online is a total experience, so why lose customers because your product listings lack images? Here are some general advantages to using product images:

· Product images give the customer an idea of what they’re paying for.

· Product images allow the customer to visualize the product description quickly.

· People recognize images quicker than text so the product image will be the first thing that attracts your customers. The description comes second.

· People love examples and samples of what they’re buying. Images achieve this perfectly in the virtual goods industry.

However, you do need to remember that using an image is only part of the entire product package. Because you’re selling virtual goods, the image you choose is the only visual representation of your product. This means choosing a relevant and good-quality image. With virtual goods, you may choose an image of the physical package of your product, if one exists. The image may also be a screenshot of one of your samples. What you sell will determine the type of image, but just remember to use the most relevant and best quality possible.

Using product images will allow your customers the whole Internet shopping experience. Images are essential to increasing your sales, but they won’t achieve that goal alone. In conjunction with product images, make sure that you take advantage of the PayLoadz Featured Listing option (check it out at https://www.payloadz.com/sell/listing_overview.asp), use relevant keywords, well-written descriptions, and descriptive titles for your products. Consider using images alongside free samples and downloads as well.

You can include images with your product listing while setting up the product in your PayLoadz account. The option for adding images is available under eStore and Payloadz Ebay Store Information section on Product Setup page.

Listing your products in the PayLoadz Store will definitely help boost your sales. But listing your product alone with text only won’t do the trick. Take in mind what we’ve just shared with you regarding product images and make some changes. We guarantee you’ll notice the difference.

How to Use Keywords Effectively

If you don’t know how to use keywords effectively, you’ll definitely have a hard time succeeding in the virtual goods market or any online business. Keywords are an essential aspect of search engine optimization and online marketing. They not only play a key role in the success or failure of your website but also your sales through online gateways, platforms, and e-store, like PayLoadz.

With the right choice in keywords, you will enjoy high sales. The right keywords will draw in more traffic, and the more traffic you have the more sales conversions you will enjoy. And you know the more sales you have, the more money you make! The keywords you choose will definitely affect how many customers are able to find and purchase your virtual goods through our store.

When selecting keywords for your product do a little research to ensure that you find the perfect match. One thing to keep in mind is that keywords should be relevant to your product and logical. For example, if you’re selling a digital download of accounting software, the keyword “puppies” wouldn’t help you out much! Additionally, keywords don’t have to be single words, they can be phrases. Detailed keywords can be quite helpful.

Once you’ve decided on the best keywords for your product, go ahead and make sure you use them in the title and description of that product. This will ensure that customers will land on your product pages when conducting a search. However, it is important not to stuff your titles and descriptions with the keywords. Everything should read naturally, as if a human wrote it, not as if there is just a string of relevant words.

To review, here are some keyword tips:

· Research keywords before listing your products – make sure they are all relevant.

· Organize your listings to match your keywords and phrases.

· Don’t stuff your titles and descriptions with keywords – make it logical and easy to read.

· Try out a variety of keywords and phrases.

· Write the titles and descriptions for the humans and not search engines; search engines will themselves take care of the rest.

You will quickly come to find that keywords alone won’t boost your sales, but using the right ones will definitely help. When you list items in our PayLoadz Store, there are many things you can do to help increase your sales. Taking advantage of our Featured Listing option, offering product samples and download trials, including product images, and well organized listing pages are all ways to help boost sales along with using keywords effectively.

Remember, customers will search the store based on what they need or want. Today, many online shoppers are quite savvy in searching, so they will type in exactly what they are looking for rather than just scrolling through various categories. This means that without effective keywords, these shoppers may never come across your products. Use the information above to avoid this and boost your sales!

The Basics of PayLoadz Featured Listings

As an online seller of virtual goods, you’ve probably heard a thing or two about featured listings. Featured listings are used in online marketing, advertising, and even on various shopping platforms and payment gateways. When you’re selling digital products online, you want to offer not only as many options when it comes to making the purchase and paying, but also to stand out from the thousands of other retailers offering similar products. Featured listings can definitely help you with that.

If you’re new to PayLoadz, or even if you’ve been with us a while, we’d like to give you the basics on featured listings to help make their use a little clearer.

What is a Featured Listing?

The idea behind a featured listing is pretty simple. It’s just a listing that you pay a little extra for – you make an investment and your product is featured over others in its category. This helps draw more attention to what you’re offering. These types of listings allow for you to gain more exposure in the PayLoadz Store.

What is the Purpose of a Featured Listing?

The traditional idea behind the use of a featured listing is to highlight a product. Using featured listings on PayLoadz helps broadcast your products to potential (and returning) customers. The purpose of this is simply to increase your sales and boost your bottom line. Who doesn’t want to make a profit selling their virtual goods?

How Long Will the Featured Listing Last?

The length of time that a featured listing will last on PayLoadz really just depends on you. Your featured listing will last until your featured listing account is depleted of funds or you decide to take it down. You can renew your featured listing account as often as you like.

How Much Does a Featured Listing Cost?

The investment to have a featured listing is relatively small, especially when compared to other online stores that you may offer your products on. The minimum cost per click is $0.05 and maximum is $0.25. You can choose to pay any amount per click between 5 cents and 25 cents. If you need more visibility consider choosing a higher price and more ads will be displayed for your product. You can set the price for your Featured Listing by entering the price that you are willing to pay in the “Select Your Own CPC Rate” section on Product Details page. If you set it to zero, no ads will be shown.

Each time a shopper clicks the featured listing, the fee will be automatically deducted from your Featured Listing account balance.

How to Get a Featured Listing on PayLoadz

Getting a featured listing on PayLoadz is actually really easy, and a no-brainer. Every PayLoadz merchant should try a featured listing at least once to see how it can boost their sales. You can create one in no time once you log into your PayLoadz seller account.

So, there you have it. Those are the basics of using a featured listing with the PayLoadz system. And for a limited time, we’re offering to match the amount of your deposit to the featured listing account to all new users. So, if you put in $15, we will too. That way, you’ll have the benefits of $30 worth of featured listing services.

Increase Your Sales with Descriptive Titles

Using PayLoadz to sell your digital products and virtual goods is an excellent way to get in touch with both returning and potential buyers. Sitting from the comfort of your own home or office, you can list your goods easily (and free!) with us and watch the dollars roll in. But, that success doesn’t come all by itself. You do have to think about how you list your products and the descriptions you offer. In today’s economy, who wants to spend their hard-earned money without knowing what they’re actually getting? The answer is: not many people.

This is where descriptive titles make you a stronger seller. Using PayLoadz is easy enough, virtually stress-free. But, you do want to encourage new buyers to lay their money down and take your product home. Descriptive titles help enhance your product listing in the PayLoadz Store. Sure, you already have a product image, bold lettering, and have invested in featured listings for your products, but there’s more you can do. Try these tips out and see if your sales don’t increase noticeably.

So what makes a title descriptive enough!

First of all, you should know by now that selling products online is all about search. Potential buyers look for products using search engines as well as the search on PayLoadz store. Make sure that the product titles have just the right keywords so that they appear in the results when shoppers search for them. Think of yourself searching for the same product on the Internet and the keyword or phrase that you would enter in the search box to find that product. That keyword should be a part of your title.

Secondly, the title should explain what the product is all about. While using right keywords may help show your product in search engines; people may still not click on the link because the title may not be telling the whole story about the product. For eg: the titles ‘How to stop snoring’ and ‘How to stop snoring without surgery’ use the appropriate keyword ‘stop snoring’; however, the latter explains the content of the ebook better. This is what makes it a more descriptive title. Use the space we allow for a good title! Remember, the more descriptive and accurate the title, the more potential the listing has for buyers to click it and check out your product.

Another thing to remember is that spelling counts! While we won’t be giving you a spelling test anytime soon, misspelled words can make you lose out on sales. Spelling is so important because as buyers search for your products they will be typing particular keywords and phrases into the search tool. This means that if your product’s title contains misspelled words, your listing may not be displayed! Always double check the spelling before you list an item. If you think any of your titles may have misspelled words, go back and make edits!

Just remember, the more descriptive you are in your product title, the more clicks you will receive. A higher number of clicks to your listing will translate into a higher number of sales, which always helps your bottom line and profits! Using descriptive and accurate titles gives shoppers an idea of what they are purchasing. No smart shopper spends their money blindly – remember that and you’re on your way to lots of success with PayLoadz and your online sales!

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 Do People Buy Virtual Goods?

As a payment gateway and virtual store, we have definitely thought about the many different reasons behind why people would even want to buy virtual goods. As a PayLoadz member, you’ve probably given the topic a little bit of thought yourself. The purpose of this post is to delve a little deeper into the virtual goods market. Who knows, perhaps you’ll learn a little something that might help you reach out to your customers a little more successfully.

There are different reasons why people buy virtual goods through PayLoadz, or any other e-store or platform. The virtual goods market is broadening and therefore the availability, features, and attributes, in addition to the types of products being offered, is constantly changing. Virtual goods have functional attributes, hedonic attributes, and social attributes. Who your customers are will determine their shopping patterns. This is true for any industry, not just virtual goods.

Virtual goods with functional attributes typically include digital files such as business software, educational e-books, and instruction manuals. These types of products may help the performance levels of a buyer’s job, business, or education. Buyers interested in functional virtual goods are those looking for something that will help achieve a certain goal either in daily life or business. Many PayLoadz clients and customers are interested in functional goods.

If shoppers are interested in virtual goods with hedonic attributes, they are looking for something with entertainment value. For example, online gamers may shop for virtual currency for their game of choice to progress through the game levels. Other hedonic attributes might include digital items that are simply aesthetically pleasing (like screen savers and art), fictionalized e-books, movies, and music. These types of digital products are for fun and may not have any real value as far as functionality goes. If you surf through the PayLoadz Store you’ll see your fair share of such virtual goods.

Some shoppers are interested in virtual goods with social attributes. With the advent of social networking sites and communities like MySpace, FaceBook, and Twitter, virtual goods with social functions have become quite popular. Such virtual goods might include those that make cultural references (for holidays, social groups, etc.), digital products offered for branding by real-world companies, and other applications. Many smart-phone and computer applications are virtual goods with purely social purposes. Many clients offer such products through our platform as well.

While we haven’t given you an exhaustive list of reasons why people buy virtual goods, we hope we’ve given you a good overview. As you can see, the reasons go beyond just useful or fun, and can meet needs in between. Customers will shop for different virtual goods based on their personal finance, social interests, and functional needs. And they can find just about any type of digital product on PayLoadz!

Using our platform to sell your virtual goods can only help your business’ bottom line and expand your product’s reach. If you don’t already have your own website, use the PayLoadz Store in conjunction with PayLoadz Standard to make your sales. Doing so is the same idea as offering your products on sites such as eBay, Amazon, and other online auctions.

It’s really easy to get started with PayLoadz Standard. The account requires you to sign up for a free PayLoadz account so that you may access the system.

Getting started with any other purchasing platform has never been easier.

To get started with PayLoadz Standard, you just need to follow a few simple steps, which we have outlined in great detail in our Getting Started section.

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.)

Handling Invalid File Locations

Dealing with invalid file locations can be a real pain for both the buyer and the seller. When a buyer experiences an invalid file location, they may lose trust in that particular seller causing the merchant to lose credibility. Remember, buyers can always leave negative feedback on the Internet regarding your product and their experience! However, from time to time this issue may arise, but don’t let it discourage you from using PayLoadz. Let us explain how to properly handle invalid file locations so that you are prepared.

First of all, what is an invalid file location? If a customer, or even a seller, receives this message on the PayLoadz system, it simply means that there is not a valid file specified for delivery for that particular product. Usually such a message is the result of a simple mistake that can be easily corrected. The easiest way for an invalid file location to be corrected is for the seller to upload a new file for the product. However, the seller may also just need to specify an existing file through a series of simple confirmations and corrections.

When a customer receives an invalid file location for the virtual good they wish to purchase or have just bought, they will usually need to contact the seller directly. The seller’s email contact information is always made available to customers on the Download Page. However, if any additional problems arise, PayLoadz may be able to help reach the seller as well – though only to a limited degree. Please remember that we cannot help resolve the issue from our end without the seller’s assistance because it is a seller configuration issue.

The actual procedure to fix the issue is pretty simple. The seller will need to log into their PayLoadz account, which can be done right from our home page at www.payloadz.com. Once this is done, the seller will be able to access his or her list of existing available products. Within their list they should find the product that is getting an invalid file location error. Sellers can review the details of each file they have uploaded to the PayLoadz system and make any needed changes easily.

We offer an innovative and effective “Test Delivery” system to help sellers ensure that their products do not achieve an invalid file location message. This feature is intended for use when a product is first added to the PayLoadz system or when any changes or updates to the file are made. To top it off, the test feature is completely free to use. However, some sellers forget to take advantage of this feature and therefore some virtual goods may have invalid file location messages.

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!
