Once you've completed your ebook and have taken the
necessary steps to protect your work, your next step will
be to set up an online payment system.

Don't let this process intimidate you, as it is much easier
than you may think. There are many professional companies
on the Internet that will assist you. If you'd like to get your
own merchant account, you can do so right online. If you'd
rather not have your own merchant account, there are
companies online that will process your orders for you.

Merchant Accounts

If you decide to get your own merchant account, you will
also need access to a secure server and a shopping cart
system. A secure server will protect your customers
information. A shopping cart system will provide your
customer with a running total of what they have ordered
and the total cost.

The following websites can provide you with a merchant
account:
