Many new merchants will simply sign an agreement giving them the capability to accept credit cards without ever reading the stipulations and conditions. I know this because I was one of them. I had to learn this information the hard way. I know of several companies, sell both physical and intangible goods, who have never had a charge back because they simply follow certain steps.

In short;
1) Get a tracking number when shipping
2) Get the customer to sign an authorization form
3) get the customer to say "I authorize so and so amount to be charged to my card for the following product" make sure that this is recorded.

Before going into the explanation of these 3 steps let me first give the examples of a couple of scenarios;

Let's say someone has a Yahoo or Ebay depot. Numerous studies have been down that have shown that if you don't have some way of accepting credit cards that you are giving up over 90% of potential sales.

Some consumers say they are scared to use their credit cards online because of all the threats of theft. Most merchant services require the card holder to not only enter their card number but also the expiration date and on the back to the right of your account number there is another number which is 3 or 4 digits depending on the type of card. With all this info the oonly way your card could be used without your permission is if the actual card had been stolen.

Eventually, along with your numbers will most likely be the requirement of either your fingerprint or a retina scan. This technology is right around the corner. In the meantime when using your card make sure that the site you are using your card with uses what's called SSL encryption.

Back to our 3 steps, with item number 1, even if you are selling a product that is not a physical item, put some documentatiuon like maybe a welcome kit on CD and ship this product to your customer. Make sure that you use a service that uses tracking numbers and will show whoi signed for the product.. If you are selling something like an ebook then put a copy on CD and ship it to your new customer as a backup copy.

With a service like Paypal, if you can show a tracking number when you ship the product and Paypal can see that someone signed for the product when it was delivered then you will never get a charge back from a service like Paypal. Now if you combine this step with either step 2 or 3 then you have a better chance and winning the Lotto then you do of getting a charge back.

When you a buy a product from a merchant like Walgreen's or your neighborhood grocery store the reason that you are not able to dispute the item is because at checkout you actually sign a credit card authorization form. A friend of mine, who takes his orders via the telephone always faxes the customer an authorization for and has them sign it and return it before any product is shipped. Companies who are charging for a service would be protected if they followed this procedure.

I have talked with the actual credit card companies like Discover, Visa, MasterCard and American Express about this. I once bought a software product that was supposed to do certain things. I tried to dispute the charge but because I had signed an authorization form and because the company had shipped me a backup copy on CD I was not able to dispute this charge. Discover told me that all they cared about was that I received the product. I lost $500 for this software because the damn thing didn't work.

The final kicker would be if you had recorded this transaction. Before doing this you need to let the other party know that they are being recorded but if I were to charge for a $5000 cruise and the travel company let me know that the transaction would be tape recorded then even if I never went on this cruise the only way I could get reimbursed is if the travel agency decided to issue me either a refund or a credit

Was Y2K really a threat? Loot at all the companies that made a fortune helping you to become Y2K compliant. When it came right down to the wire nothing happened according to the predictions, we all remained on the Internet, our computers did not crash. Michelangelo virus was yet another example; mass devastation was forecasted, yet few really got hit with the virus, but the software companies raked it in with increased sales for anti virus software to consumers in a panic.

The most recent is the creation of email postage, as ridiculous as this concept sounds this is just yet another example of big corporations coming up with more and more ways to get the American public to bow to control. The general idea behind this is to charge email marketers postage on each email sent out. The bill died pretty quickly but now we have yet another bill called the Can/Spam Act just enacted. With this for an email marketer it would mean exorbitant rates just to have the privilege of reaching their recipients. Who is behind this? The answer should be obvious; it is big corporations like Microsoft and AOL. I believe Microsoft is charging approximately a $1400.00 licensing fee to email marketers if they wish to be able to deliver their advertisements with MSN or Hotmail email addresses.

If that'is not bad enough check out the latest with Identity Theft issues. It seems as though because of the problem being so huge, Credit card companies are now offering Identity Theft protection, yes you can get insurance now in case your identity is stolen, which of course you must pay for. Lets look at this concept for a minute, if you don'T want to lose a bundle getting hit by an ID thief and you cannot be guaranteed your information will stay private, though the Privacy Act demands it, you must pay for protection.

When you sign up for an relation with a Credit Card company and have to give them your personal information, they are supposed to guard that information from leaking out to those who could use it beside you. What is even worse is when it really does happen, it involves so many innocent people not just one, that law enforcement officers tend to misunderstand what is really going on and tend to re-victimize innocent victims. In some recent cases Victims have actually been accused of crimes themselves and had to defend themselves against judicial systems that are failing to recognize the problem for what it is. They are falsely accused and jailed in some cases for crimes they did not commit, all because a thief took it upon himself to wreak havoc on one persons life.

The character in Mel Gibson's " Conspiracy Theory" would have a field day with this information. So herein lies the evidence that every position has potential to be turned into opportunity given the right attention be paid, and the drive take the steps to make it happen.

Perry Marshall suggests that this person might sign up for a paid membership site Renaissance Club but why not just save the money and join a site like The Warrior Forum? If you are truly Down & Out & only $200 to invest then you need to find a free source of information and use your money for marketing.

Now I do agree with Perry Marshall that this gentleman should not resort to selling p remade site templates on his site for a measly 20% commission. I have seen many other marketers who offer up to 100% commission for some products. If you are considering a service like that of Adwords then you need to make sure that your profit margin is relatively high otherwise you will be losing money with Google Adwords. Just think about it, out of 100 clicks the averages say that maybe you will get 4 sales.

Instead of telling a down & out subscriber what product they should buy I like the opinion of Frank Kern who basically has stated that you gain customers by first giving the subscriber some good information at no charge. Tell this person where to spend his $200 where he will make some good money so that later on when times are good that this subscriber will then have the extra money to spend on one of your products.

For his first few years as a marketer Willie Crawford gave out a lot of stuff for free to all of his subscribers. Now as of lately Willie Crawford sends out newsletters with recommendations to products he is an affiliate of. He is the perfect example of what needs to be done in order to eventually sell a lot of products to subscribers.

If you don't have a great profit margin on a product instead of using Google Adwords you should look at some of the alternatives like that of Bidvertisier. Yes, most people use Google when doing a search on the Internet, probably 80% but the other 20% is still a large number of people and there are a lot of other search engines out there.

Don't spend your limited savings on a product that only may or may not work instead look at the marketing ideas that have the highest chance of succeeding. Money is tight no matter which way we look so these days we need to only spend our money on things that will help us get a higher return. I, myself, will be joining in one of those Internet marketing giveaway events and putting together a package of pretty much everything that a person will ever need to market and make money on the net.

Here's one of the autoresponder messages that I received last night "Thank you for your interest in our Customer Service Coordinatorposition! In order to expedite the hiring process, please fill out ouronline application at the link below.http://greatcareerpaths.XXX/XXXX Attach a resume, if available. Once completed, your information willbe forwarded to management for review. We will contact you in a fewdays."

Usually the web address will be some clickable link. Here's another example of basically the same thing, the same kind of response.Dear Jeffrey ,

I came across your online resume recently and think your Administrative background may make you an excellent candidate for an opportunity we have available. Here is the basic job description for the Filing Clerks position. Filing Clerks Competitive Salary Excellent verbal and written skills are essential for this position. Go to the Web page to see the entire job description by clicking on the hyperlink. If your browser doesn't support the link, just paste it into your address bar. The page you are directed to gives you the details of the position as well as the application you can submit to be considered by our HR department. http:/XXXXXXXXXXXX.com/cmanager2.aspx?email=XXXZZZ@nosugarcoating.info&id=aaqqwas7_29uiuiuibig0915200810ser29&rd=56143&j=12078761

Our HR department will contact you within two business days to schedule an interview, once you submit your application. Regards,
Tom SandersSr. Recruiter,
CN HR Division "

Can you see the similarities in the 2?

Now here's another response that I received from an autoresponder;

"Hey Jeffrey,I will send you an email containing all the information you will need to log in to our group interview process. It will show you how to earn $500 to $1000 a week by following our marketing system, with inbound calls only! Interviews will be held on the days and times listed below. (Monday thru Thursday - 2:00pm est or 9:00pm est) Please select one day and a time and tell which one in emai lOnce you receive the email, please make sure to confirm your attendance by responding to the email with "RSVP" in the subject line. Please indicate which day and time you will be attending Come prepared with pen a paper to write down any question(s) you may have. All questions will be answered before the end of the interview. Have the user name of the person who referred you available. That information will be provided in the email I am sending. This interview will be via a webinar so please have access to a computer. All the webinar information will be provided in the email I am sending, also. "

Business opportunity emails where the first ad is disguised as a job offer. The email above was posted on Craigslist as a job offer for an Inbound Call Center rep. It seems that everything in this life has a catch. I will look at legitimate business oportunities but all I was looking for last night was an additional job to help pay my bills each month> At least with sites like Careebuilder the autoresponder messages say thank you for applying for our career opportunity and we will contact you in the near future if we like your application.

Whats needed on these sites like Craigslist is human editors to review each ad. People who can tell whats real and whats a scam. Craigslist isn't the only site where these scams are posted sometimes they even appear on sites like that of Careerbuilder and Monster. People who are looking for legitimate work have to resort to cold calling companies out of their local phone book. I have a new site that will specialize in legitimate work opportunities and I will be examining each company.

Now a career is like a job in that it helps you get through life but a career is a job that you love. A career is where your passion is. It's not just a job that you need to do. It's something that will pay all your bills in life plus give you a feeling of satisfaction. I Read this book which explains the difference between a job and a career but I was still guilty of not realizing the difference..

A job may be something you do to get through school but a career is what you learned from that schooling. A career is what you have always wanted to do in your life whereas a job is something you may do to get you through that schooling. I have had many jobs in my life and only a few of those jobs were actually careers.

To better explain this a job is like putting your clothes on or doing the dishes. It's something that has to be done but a career is like putting on a new suit or going to a nice restaurant. A career is not something that has to be done in order to get by but something that you are passionate about.You go to grade school when you are young because you have to but when you go to college it's because you want the knowledge that will allow you to pursue what you want to do as a career.

The book that explains it be is by Ayn Rand, "The Fountainheads". Rourke the main character wants to design buildings and houses which is his career choice. At one part in the book Rourke get a job in a granite site, he does this so he can earn money to pay his way through life. With his career choice, that of an Architect, it doesn't matter whether he makes a lot of money but it is what he is passionate about. He will work at the Granite Quarry until he succeeds at becoming an Architect.

If you want a great book to read then pick up a copy of either "The Fountainheads" or "Atlas Shrugged". Both of these books will give you hours of entertainment plus they will even teach you a few things. I read these 2 books over and over again because each time I know that I will learn new things.

I am tired of just working jobs in my life and need to start working my career choice so that my life will give me some satisfaction. I have spent the greater part of the last 2 decades working mainly just jobs. Ways to pay most of my bills each month. If you don't know what you are passionate about then visit a career counseling center and maybe take a test that will help you to discover where your passions are.

I, at first, was going to do a Squidoo lens but Hubpages.com will actually place contextual ads on my site where I earn revenue from my site> Their are so many social networking platforms out there these days. There are so many sites out there and each one has advantages and disadvantages . Sites such as Bebo, Directmatches, and twitter. I must also choose a site that offers a free or low cost Blog platform. Google offers Blogger, Wordpress has its own Wordpress or I could go for something with a lot of features like the Opensource Drupal.

Now Hubpages has an area where you can put for instance your Google Adsense ID and it will inject these ads based on Content. Hubpages also allows you to do this with ClickBank ID's. Google Analytics, and several others are available. They even allow you to add RSS buttons and allow you to have news from other sites.

Now how do you add traffic to sites you have withing Hubpages? Each hub you read allows you to add comments and rate the hub using the up arrow that will be on the site as you are reading it. If you spend an hour a day doing this you will become known as an authority Hubber. People will then know you as a person that can lead them to good Hubpages. If a person likes what you say about a particular Hub they will then look at what other Hubs you have looked at. Kind of ;ole when you see an email that you like and then you visit the other sites that are in the signature.

I just left hubpages dot com because I was creating my first hub. If you truly love the WYSIWTG then you have to look at the editing interface of Hubpages. Let's say you decide you do not like the way things are laid out. The order in which everything is presented then you can take your mouse select the text and drag it to where you want it. Also at the end of each entry are buttons for sites like Digg and Delicious so that your readers can then vote on what they have read.
