[1] THIS WEEK'S MONEY SAVER: Internet Rip-Off
Part II
--------------------------------------------------------

The Biggest Rip-off on the Internet Revisited

Last week I opined that over-priced credit card
merchant accounts are the biggest rip-off on the
Internet. In this industry practices include pricing that
appears intended only for the gullible, and product
and service descriptions so arcane as to be
intentionally confusing.

Time spent searching for low-cost alternatives would
be time well spent, especially if you're just starting out.
Be especially careful to find out exactly what you're
getting for the numerous fees that you will be charged.

I mentioned two low-cost alternatives last week. Here
are some more:

First, see what kind of deal your local bank will give
you. Of course, don't expect any bargains here. Next,
if you belong to any trade groups or business
organizations, they may be able to get you started
inexpensively. Your colleagues in these groups may
also be able to make recommendations about the
services they use.

Here's a possibility in a place you might not have
thought to look: Costco offers its Executive members
a no-monthly-fee plan with only a $25 sign-up cost.

If you'll be selling virtual products that can be
downloaded on the Internet, you might wish to
consider ClickBank. ClickBank has a one-time
$49.95 activation fee, and a $1 + 7.5% fee per sale.
There are no monthly fees, but they do hold some of
your money "in reserve" for six months before they pay
it to you.

If you're selling tangible goods rather than electrons,
you may wish to consider CCNOW. They'll provide
you with shopping cart software and handle your
customer service for you through an 800 number.
CCNow collects a 9% commission on each sale, but
there are no startup costs and no monthly fees.
CCNOW also pays you 1.5% APR on funds held in reserve in your account. (I did find their reserve policy especially complex.)

[2] THIS WEEK'S COMPUTING TIP: Read To Me,
Please
---------------------------------------------------------

Would You Like Your Computer to Dote on You?

If you've been curious about trying one of those
text-to-speech programs that read your E-mail to you,
check out ReadPlease 2000.

Not only is it free, but it offers a number of innovative
features that even the commercial programs don't have.
ReadPlease can read from any text file or Rich Text
Format file. And it offers a choice of four different
voices, all of which sound better than the robotic voices
these programs usually have.

There is also a commercial version with additional
features for $49.95.

To try out ReadPlease 2000 Go to:

[3] THIS WEEK'S INTERNET TIP: Network of
Resources
---------------------------------------------------------

Network of Experts Strutting Their Stuff

About.com is a network of web sites for more than 650
topics. And it's run by experts called "guides" from all
over the world.

Each of the "guides" or subject specialists attempt to
help you get information that you're seeking quickly and
easily.

Sites must be highly targeted and specific to their topic
to get included. About.com boasts that it has the
Internet's best link directories, community features and
e-shopping venues.

Here's an opportunity to get a five-day course on
Internet marketing that contains more information about what REALLY works than most of the courses you'll
find offered on the Internet for hundreds of dollars.

the Bible of internet promotion and marketing. If you're

site, then you owe it to yourself to get this free course before you waste time and money on anything else.
