If you don’t have a big, elaborate, fancy operation, you can be selling your stuff (downloadable products, physical products, services like consulting, whatever) in like 10 minutes. Really.

Here’s how. Check it out. (You may want to use the “view full screen” button in the play bar of the video.)

And here are the links I mentioned:

E-Junkie for most of you, and

Google Checkout seller’s admin for the geeks out there with website know-how.

  2. What do you think of DLGuard as a shopping cart?
    I want to start a membership site and I hear they are better thane-junkie with that. Do you agree? Thanks

  4. Hmm, I honestly don’t know. I’ve never heard of DLGuard, so I can’t offer any meaningful opinions!

  6. DLGuard is okay but not really designed for that. You can use WordPress membership plugins like Wishlist Member in creative ways… and Shopp makes a good WP store.

  8. I’ve always wondered by why so many people use 1ShoppingCart and so few use e-junkie.com

  10. Exactly. I have several clients who I kind of want to talk out of carts, but they’ve put in SO MUCH TIME AND EFFORT to get them going. And they pay through the nose… like $99 for affiliate capabilities, plus gateway fees, plus merchant account fees, PLUS whatever transaction fees.

    I sort of feel that unless you’re a huge merchant with a ton of irons in the fire, e-junkie is the way to go. Are there limitations? Yes. But does it cost all of $5 per month and handle 95% of what MOST people need? Absolutely.

  12. Suggestion on the audio. The noise interferes with your presentation. Try using a mic/headset with Camtasia or whatever screen capture program you have.

    Friendly suggestion, but audio is very critical in any lengthy presentation.

    best,

  14. Yeah, I know… this audio was fucking terrible and I should probably just delete the video. I got better at it, but this one is downright embarrassing.

Tell me what you're thinking...
