Hello. If you are reading this, it’s likely that you are looking seriously at the question of how to make money online or you or your company already has a product or service that may achieve enhanced sales by being promoted online.

There are 3 basic elements that this little endeavor will need.

An online page where a user can find you.
An online shopping cart page where a user can securely enter a credit card to pay you.
A merchant account in the background that is linked to your bank account for receiving payment

Some would say that this is the absolute barest of necessities and back in 1997 to 2002, a set up like this would have still made money. I know this to be true because this is exactly what I did.

But Don’t Even Try To Do That Now.
