Paypal has a lot of instructions on their site on how to accept payments…my dad actually sells flowers online :) Lol.

But, he simply has people call or write him, and then physically mail a check, it’s not as convenient, but he does save on merchant fees, etc.

Thing is, if you want to setup online ordering, there’s a lot to learn to do it yourself, or a lot of cost, to hire somebody to put it together.

First I’d consider if what I was selling online had enough sales potential to justify the hassle of setting up such a system…if not, then perhaps start with a “coming soon” and a newsletter you can send people who get to your site about best practices related to your products, industry news, and how they can get the most out of the product you will be sending them, testimonials, etc…that way, you build a loyal following until the product is ready to sell :)

Hope that helps.

You can use Google AdSense, it’s really great.
