Pay periods end at 12 A.M. Pacific time on Wednesday, or every other Wednesday for two-week payments. Payments are sent on the Wednesday two weeks after the end of a pay period. Thus, it may take a couple of weeks to receive your first payment, but direct deposits will usually come weekly after that. Their minimum payout is $10.

Square – For payments taken during business hours, they are usually available in your bank account the next business day.

Intuit GoPayment – Money is deposited into your bank account daily at 3 P.M. Pacific.

Keep in mind that most processors have payment limits, minimum payouts, etc. For example, you might have to wait until you’ve accrued at least $100 in funds before you’ll be paid.

Or you might only be paid up to a certain amount of the money you receive, while the rest is held in reserve for a certain length of time in case of refunds or fraud.

Regional Availability

Your location is another factor to consider. If you’re in the United States, you probably won’t have to worry so much about this. But if you’re in another country, you may find some payment processors restrict you from being able to use their systems.

The primary reason for this is a high prevalence of fraud in certain countries. However, there are other reasons some processors cannot or will not process transactions in certain countries.

Factors can include:

Currency exchange rates

Banking regulations in that country

The current social or political environment in that country

Other factors

If you are having trouble finding a payment processor that will allow merchants for your country, you may have to consider using a high-risk provider or perhaps partnering with someone who lives in a country that will allow them to get a merchant account and splitting the profits with them.

Backup Processors

Because you may be subject to changes in terms and conditions, it is always best to have at least one backup processor in reserve. Don’t wait until you’ve been banned from one to find another, because you could lose an unbelievable amount of money in the process!

Here’s what you need to do to secure a backup processor:

1. Review the processor just as you would any other processor. View the terms and conditions, fees, payment terms, etc.

2. Apply for the processor and get accepted.

3. Test the processor thoroughly with your current system to be sure the switch could be seamless in the event it becomes necessary.

4. Send some sales through their system so you can start any “timers” that might be in place to get paid.

Ideally, you will want to have at least two backup processors in place in case one of them isn’t working, closes, or changes their terms by the time you need them.

Another good reason to have a backup processor is in case your payment processor goes down during a major launch or shopping day. Imagine releasing a new product and having your payment processor go down for a day or two! You could lose thousands of dollars, upset affiliates, and even potentially ruin your reputation, because affiliates and customers will expect you to be prepared for such an event!

Final Words

If you’re looking for a payment processor, you need to be sure you review all of the various available processors and take a look at which type is best for you. Look at their terms and conditions, compare them to your business model, and choose one that fits well with your current structure.

If you’ve been using the same payment processor for a long time, you might want to consider changing processors if you find one with better terms. Remember that not all payment processors are created equal. Some have better fees, some have better features, and some have better service.

Just don’t take the selection process lightly. Remember, if you end up doing a very high volume of transactions, a difference of just 1% in fees could make a huge difference to your bottom line. This is especially true if you’re running on low profit margins already.

Hopefully you’re now equipped with the information you need to choose the right payment processor for your business!

Selling Your Products

There are a couple of different ways to sell eBooks with little or no upfront costs involved. You can sell them directly, either on your website or on ClickBank, or you can upload to Kindle and other platforms.

Let’s take a look at some of the best places to sell your products. Remember, you shouldn’t focus on a single platform. Sell your products through as many platforms as you can and multiply that income!

ClickBank

For years, ClickBank has been one of the most popular places to sell digital products, and for good reason. ClickBank has an unbelievable number of active affiliates who are always looking for new, quality products to promote. This is a major benefit, because your products can make money even if you’re not great at promotion yourself.

If you’re going to sell on ClickBank, you need to keep things in mind:

1. It costs $49.95 for your first product and $29.95 for each additional product, paid on approval of your product, to sell on ClickBank. This could be cost-prohibitive for some people who are just starting out, but it’s definitely worth the cost if you can afford it.

2. You’ll need excellent sales copy and very good graphics in order to attract the attention of the average affiliate. This could also be cost-prohibitive, because a good mini-site design and eCover can cost at least $50 and up to $200 (sometimes even more), and good sales copy can cost hundreds, even thousands of dollars from an experienced, quality copywriter.

However, if you don’t have great sales copy and a nice design, most affiliates won’t even consider you. You could try doing it yourself to save money, but good sales copy is very tough to write unless you have a lot of experience and understand the intricacies of doing so.

3. You must provide promotional material for potential affiliates if you want the best chance at being chosen by affiliates for promotion. As long as you keep those things in mind, ClickBank can be insanely profitable.

Amazon Kindle (KDP)

The most popular program for selling books is the Kindle Digital Publishing platform made available through Amazon, also called KDP. Don’t make the mistake of thinking these books are only available on Kindle devices! These days, most devices have a version of the Kindle app available, including the iPhone, iPad, PC, Mac, and more!

The KDP program gives authors 70% royalties for products between $2.99 and $9.99, with a few exceptions (such as sales in certain countries). For everything else, they offer 35% royalties.

If you’re selling a product for $2.99, you’ll get approximately $1.79 in royalties, minus any download fees or other fees. And of course, if you sell in other countries you’ll be paid in that country’s currency and subject to exchange rates.

Ensuring You Turn Good Private Label Content Great

There is good private label content and then there is great private label content. You can have great! Even if you do not think it is true that Google penalizes for duplicate, you goal is to provide you viewers with content that’s unique and interesting. If you don’t do that then it is you and your site that will suffer.

If you do nothing else, you should rewrite the private label content so that it is your voice that is coming through and making sure that the content is unique will ensure you stay in good books of the search engines. There are all kinds of experts out there who are ready to share with you how your content should be re-written, but if you have at least 50 percent, uniqueness you will be fine.

In addition, if you don’t want to rewrite every private label article you can use them in another way - take the private label article and use it as a jump off point to your own content. Good PLC authors will typically write content based on niche keywords that are profitable and information that people in that niche are actually looking for. Their insight can be extremely useful to you.

Let their research work for you - write your blogs based on the information they have provided.

Don’t think of private label content as just good for your site or blogs, because when you string it together it can work great for creating videos, creating podcasts, your email autoresponder course, a free giveaway, or any other way that you entice your readers to join your email list. Of course, you will still want to rewrite the articles, but still a lot cheaper than outsourcing to be written from scratch.

One benefit to videos and podcasts is the text isn’t indexed in these formats so you don’t have to be so concerned about duplicate content, which means you don’t have to spend so much time doing rewrites of your PLC.

The bottom line is that when it comes to private label content the sky is the limit - you can use this content however, you like and it can save you a bundle of cash compared to hiring a writer to create content or tons of time if you are taking on the project yourself. Private label content provides you an excellent jump off point, so make sure you take advantage of it!

How Private Label Content Marketers Maximize the Benefits

Recently private label content has become very popular among internet marketers, who were quick to recognize the value of using private label content sites as part of their marketing campaigns. Internet marketers are well aware that information is the number one thing people using the internet are seeking.

As a private label marketer, you need to know your target market before you begin. You have to determine whether you are going to target the marketplace or whether you are going to target people. This will help you to narrow down what your product market will look like and make it easier to make more profit, especially when you use private label content to your advantage.

How do you make use of private label content? Good questions! Let’s look how you can put private label content to work for you in a step by step process.

Step #1 - Take 100 articles on any topic in a ‘hot’ niche. While you can do this with 25 articles or 50 the more the better. So we recommend that you try to reach the 100 mark whether that means you have to write some or you become a member at more than one PLC.

Step #2 - Now take 40 to 50 of those articles and use them to create an e-book.

Step #3 - Take the titles that come with these 50 articles and use them to create an outline that you will eventually turn into your sales letter.

Step #4 - Take the remaining 30 articles and submit to article directories to gain opt-in subscribers and to bring traffic to your squeeze page. Recognize just how important this is because without traffic there are no sales.

Step #5 - Use the other 20 remaining articles to create your own auto responder course along with a squeeze page for the eBook. Use the titles of these articles to create your outline for the squeeze page.

Step #6 - Do not send out the auto responder message with the full article attached to it.

Instead, you want to place a link that points to your list subscriber to an Adsense page where the recipient can read the entire article.

Step #7 - It’s time to begin to enjoy the revenue from your mailing list. You have all the tools in place. Your private label content has been put to work. You can now see how private label content can be an internet marketer’s best friend.

Step #8 - Finally, if you have to lose someone from your list, turn this into a way to make money too. Create an opt out page where you provide offers and affiliate ads. That way whenever people unsubscribe it doesn’t have to be a total loss.

5 Ways to Make Money from Private Label Rights

Kindle, affiliate marketing, blogging, social media, and product sales - they all share one important thing - they require you to provide content, and that product needs to be interesting and constantly changing if you want to build traffic and grow your business.

Private label rights provide a way for you to have all the content you want for a reasonable monthly fee as a member of a PLR site. This beats sitting and writing your own content, which is time consuming especially if you aren’t a writer, or hiring a ghostwriter, which can be costly to get a good writer.
