PayDotCom Update

Hi Internet Marketer,
Duane here, I want to share some awesome news with you... the following is a message from my good friend Mike Filsaime:

There 3 MAJOR updates and 2 news item I want to share with you.
  • New Cash Affiliate Program
  • New Site Wide Advertising Program
  • New Money Making Widget for your Site and Blogs

#1 - PayDotCom has a new special package made to members only when they join. We will be OPENING a new CASH (not fee credit) AFFILIATE PROGRAM that pays you $20. This
is the first time PDC has ever paid cash for referrals. (In the past it was credits to your fees.) - This will come from your direct promotion affiliate link only. Please look for this in the next
few weeks.

#2 - We have been tracking traffic on out pages and over the last 30 days, PayDotCom gets
over 600,000 Page Impressions on the site, login page, and Marketplace.
What does that mean to you?


** Simply this **
We will be selling ADVERTISING on our site (similar to ClickBanks Model)
We will ONLY SELL to 30 people. The rate will be just $200 per week.

THAT MEANS: You can get your Ad shown on our site, login page, and marketplace over
150,000 times per week for just $200!
Imagine that exposure!
This is on a First come - First serve basis. We will only sell 30 slots per week at only $200.
Be on the look out soon for when we open this up for beta. The price will be based on supply and demand. If the demand goes up, so will the price so make sure you are ready so you can lock up several weeks at our low intro rate of just $200 per week for over 150,000 ad impressions!


#3 - Some of the best news yet!
In the next 2 weeks, PayDotCom will be adding a Brand NEW WIDGET to your members area.
Price? ..... It is 100% FRE.E
That is right:

  • you login
  • click on the Widget Wizard
  • choose category
  • choose color
  • choose Only PayDotCom, or PayDotCom and Clickbank
  • copy a snipet of code
  • past on your blog
  • START MAKING LOTS MORE MONEY
You see, this widget will feature the TOP 25 items in the category you choose and rotate them.
(Yes, this is massive no cost advertising for our members!) When someone is at your site and clicks on a product in the WIDGET, it sends the person in a new window to the sellers site with YOUR affiliate link. When they buy, YOU GET PAID.

This is great not only for you as an affiliate, but also if you have a product in the TOP 25 of your category... because you will get millions of free ad impressions all over the net for your
product, service, ebook, or software. No other marketplace does that.
And remember, we will also allow you to rotate Clickbank product in this widget as well if you like. (Since we expect Millions of Widget Impressions per month, once we have more data, we will see how we can offer sponsor ads in the widgets as well.)
This will also be coming in the next few weeks so be sure to look out for this, Right now it is in beta and full release is coming VERY soon!
I know, you are excited!


Finally, the 2 news items.
FIRST (1) - We are going to be adding HACKERSAFE to our order pages. Research shows that Hackersafe along with VeriSign (Which we always use) reduces shopping cart abandonment by as much as 10%. We are also consulting with an order page expert to redesign and split test the order page and add even more ways to increase conversion.

SECOND (2) - We are adding a new feature for Vendors that will post NAME and EMAIL data from the sale to your AWEBER, GETRESPONSE, PROSENDER, ARP3, or 1shppoingcart, or other autoresponders AT THE POINT OF SALE.
If you use the form data before checkout, it will post that data. If you send just to paypal, it will
post the buyers PayPal email address and PayPal Payee Name.
Imagine now, no need to have your buyers fill out a form to register for your product, Their REAL DATA will automatically be posted to autoresponder so you can follow up for life.

--
We are working on many other things, but we wanted to get this out to you so you can be ready to take advantage of all these things as soon as they come out.
Look for them in the next few weeks! This should happen right around the time PayDotCom reaches 300,000 Vendors and Affiliates in our system!

To your Success,
Mike Filsaime
President and CEO - PayDotCom

Are you taking care of your Customers?

If not, why not? A customer is the heart of your business. They are what you are working so hard for in the first place. Customer service in all aspects is lacking and that is what I want to talk about today.

  • Stay in contact with customers on a regular basis. Offerthem something free. Ask them if they would like to be updated by e-mail when you make changes to your Web site or when you have a new product to offer. (the easiest way to do this is to have an RSS feed, don't know what that is? I will discuss this in an upcoming article) After every sale, follow-up with the customer to see if they are satisfied with their purchase.
  • Create a customer focus group. Invite ten to twenty ofyour most loyal customers to meet with you regularly and get their input as to what you are doing great, what they would like to see more of and yes, even the bad stuff. They will giveyou ideas and input on how to improve your customerservice. To make this special, you could reward them for their time, give them a product or take them to dinner. After all, they are like your personal marketing group and in then end will make your business bettr.
  • Make it easy for your customers to navigate your web site, after all, if they can't find what you are offering, how can they purchase from you? Have a "FAQ" page to explain anything that might confuse your customers. Have a Survey page to find out how make your website more customer friendly, again, this is a great tool that can be so inexpensive yet very rewarding.
  • Stay on top of your customers complaints quickly and ensure their satisfaction in a timely manner so your good name will be spread in a postive light to all their friends. Answer all e-mail and phone calls within an hour, if possible, you the owner of the business, personally take care of the problem. This will show your customersyou really care about them. Remember the old adage? If you provide good service, a few will hear about it. If you provid BAD service, Everyone will know about it.
  • Ensure that it easy for your customers to contact you. Offer as many contact methods as possible. Allow customers to contact you by e-mail, making sure you are scrambling the email so you getting only legitimate emails, and also provide a phone number or a fax number in case someone wants to physically speak to you. It is probably a good idea to also give your office hours and don't forget the time zone...
  • Make sure that if you have employees, that they know and use your customer service policies as well. Give your employees bonuses or incentives to practice excellent customer service. Tell employees to be flexible with each individual customer, and give them some leaway in how each customer needs to be dealt with. If you are willing to compensate a customer, give the authority so it can be done on the spot at the discretion of the employee. This way, a customer will be happy immediately without having to wait for your OK on everything.
  • Make it a policy to give your customers more than they expect. Send thankyou gifts to lifetime customers, can you imagine even getting a thank you card from someone you purchased from? I know I would be shocked, yet this is a really great practice. E-mail them online greetingcards on holidays or birthdays. Award bonuses to your customers who make a big or repeat purchase.
  • Always be polite to your customers. Use the words "you're welcome, please, and thank you." Be polite to your customers even if they are irate with you, "kill them with kindness" no matter how much it hurts. This is called "live recovery" and in the end, will benefit you. Always apologize to your customers should you make a mistake. If you admit your mistakes quickly and make it up to them in a big way they will remember you.
  • Try to figure out a reward program. You have heard of air miles etc? Reward customers a point for every one dollar they spend. Let's say customers can get a free product for 300 points. That means customers will spend $300 dollars on your products and services to get enough points to get the product. Make sure it is a product with a value, that it is desirable. If you need to have a program that keeps track of these type of things, you should have your hosting with "Thirdsphere" There is an inbuilt Affiliate program for rewarding both affiliates and keeping track of customers.
  • Build strong relationships with your customers. Invite them to company meetings, luncheons, workshops or seminars. This helps to keep them in the loop and creates a personal bond with them. Special events such as parties or weekend get togethers or just a night out on the town help to make each of your customers feel important. If you are working a direct sales company, think about a customer appreciation night. Plan a fondue or a pampering party. Let your imagination go wild!
