magazine advertd....shall I, shall I not ?

There are 624,000 sales of the magazine I am considering.
That would then mean 18720 see my advert (at 3%), and from this, 187 new customers.

Not necessarily, that is a naive assumption to make, if your prices are not right, if your website is not good enough to lead to sales conversions, then the advertisement could result in 0 new customers.

I’m not sure if anyone commented on this. PayPal.. I would not run with the ADD if that’s your payment gateway. You need a real CC processor before you start heading to large advertising. You may lose clients because they do not trust PayPal or simple cant be bothered to sign-up.

Just my 2 cents but Paypal has worked well for me on my site and my sales went up a fair bit when I started offering it. I also search especially for sites that offer Paypal as a means of paying. But yes you probably should offer another means as well, there's always someone who has a problem with the payment method no matter what it is.

I like paypal, but I would also offer a second payment option as well.

What would you suggest ?
I need one with recurring payments.

2checkout is good.

BBC-Jon · 06-20-2005, 12:12 PM

2checkout, i have a acount with them.. never used it before.. there support is not much to ask for, but i think fair.

never had a problem with support myself. almost switched from them a couple years ago when they were having other problems though. Our customers are about split right now with a slightly larger number using paypal.

Now a days most of the business are carried out through advertising mainly offline and online. but, probably internet advertising holds higher priority because it is the best way to take our business globally. so you can go for online one. be confident what ever your ideas are.. provided be clear in your path.. you go ahead.. All the best..
