payAWS Advantage #1 - Out-of-Pocket-Costs: There is no such thing as FREE!
One of the major selling points of payAWS "Sub-Domains" over the competition is the reduction in initial out-of-pocket setup costs
that are normally associated with new or upstart e-commerce ventures. Most of you are probably familiar with these
costs but, let us outline them for the newbies you would be referring out there that may be unaware of what is required
to market online.
1. They gotta have a web site! Really? This comes as no suprise, and if everyone could build their own website
you wouldn't be in business.
For a professionally designed website with e-commerce capabilities a
designer can charge as much as $5,000. Sure, your referrals could slap together a cookie-cutter site at
one of those "Build-Your-Own website.com" companies and add a buy button, but would it really stand-out as a professional
looking site? Probably not! If it was that easy, those sites wouldn't try to upgrade you to their Deluxe web building
services at $30-$40 per month. Inevitably your referrals would end up seeking you or someone like you for site building
services.
With payAWS, you as an affiliate are rewarded for marketing our products by the Preferred Affiliates Program.
Once your referrals realize they need help, they will need a person of your skills, and we of course will refer
them back to you as a preferred affiliate and you in turn generate your business by generating our business.
Makes sense, right.
2. They have to be a "SECURE" site with an SSL certificate, which is at minimally an additional $70.
Truth is you can't sell online without one. They would need to purchase a certificate at a company like GeoTrust®, RapidSSL®
or somewhere similar. Some certificates can cost as much as $1000.00. WOW! (The good thing is they are
valid for a year, so even if their website fails they would still own a certificate. Great?). We initially supply a Safe
Secure Certificate, so this step is unnecessary to start.
3.
They need a "Merchant Account" at a Banking Institution in order to receive and process their payments.
With
payAWS the costs are more affordable:
1. The Merchant Account is still $175.00, but our provider
PNC rebates $150.00 after your first online order. So, $25.00 instead of $200.00
2. Your sub-Domain is $4.99 per month but not limited to 1 or 2 pages. You're simply limited by bandwidth. Another PLUS.
3. As a sub domain, they use our SSL certificate until they can afford their own. Another Savings.
4. So a lot less out of pocket costs to start and as their business grows then they can afford the luxuries.
5. The good news for you as an affiliate is that as their needs grow, payAWS refers the customers back to you for their added needs.
