Sign up for a credit card merchant account or 3rd party credit card processing provider. Implement domain name reselling except billing and credit card processing (see step 11 before deciding on which way to go)

Money, money, money ….. – How are you going to collect it from your clients at all? Going local allows you to accept payments via check. Going nationally or world-wide (Internet) – then checks are not a good solution to collect payments from your clients.
A full-blown credit card merchant account is way too expensive in the beginning and the cost just not justified. But you can use 3rd party providers for credit card payments. You pay a little higher transaction rates but it will get you started just fine.
We recommend signing up with PayPal or with 2Checkout. PayPal is free to sign-up with – 2Checkout.com has a low $49.00 sign-up fee. Both providers offer a complete suite of credit card tools for online merchants and you will be up and running soon.

You can then create your products and each provider will show you the needed HTML code to implement it into your website. It’s very easy to do.

If implementing the payment options into your website is too much hassle and you would also rather automate the process – look at our next step (Step 11).
Cost associated with this step: $49.00 (one-time)
Money spend so far: $85.93 (one-time)
Money spend so far: $35.00 (recurring per month)
