    When Payday Comes
    There’s something special about payday. You get up in the morning, knowing that there’s money in your account and even if it’s raining, you can’t help but have a little spring in your step. You might decide to treat yourself for lunch or you’d been waiting to buy that DVD you wanted. No matter how you look at it, whether you’re paid weekly or monthly. Payday is

    Is Safelist Marketing Dead?
    That is the question that I see people asking all over the Internet. The answer to that question is simple… No! Now don't get me wrong it isn't as great as it once was.

    In Part 1 of 2, we saw how copywriters today can make their hometown a world headquarters with clients not caring if you're based in Vancouver, BC, Canada, like myself, or halfway around the world. Sounds great, but what about when it comes to getting paid? Doesn't all this distance and lack of personal contact spell accounts receivable hell? It doesn't have to, especially when you use the three following techniques.

    THREE TECHNIQUES FOR GETTING PAID

    Yes, when you're dealing with someone you've never met or spoken to, there's the chance you'll do the work and not see a dime. But there's that chance with any client you hook up with. For myself, I do three things to increase my chances of keeping payments coming into my Vancouver world headquarters.

    First, I make sure all feels well. I keep my "gut" on alert when first contact is made with a new client. Checking out the credibility of their website is always a good idea too. I also notice if they include a phone number with their contact information. Even if I never call, at least the option is there.

    Looking for a Fast Nickel or a Slow Quarter?
    The title of this article is an old saying my Dad shared with me many years ago. Funny how I have never forgotten that simple line. When I first heard it he was talking about investments. So how does it relate to selling and a career in sales? Easily if you look at your career for what it is, an investment in YOU and your philosophies about that investment.

    "A 33% deposit is standard policy for new clients. Secure payments can be made at [payment url]"

    And does it work? Does for me.

    Third, I make it easy for clients to make those payments. As you may have noticed in the quote above, I created a page on my site where clients can click to pay in U.S. or Canadian dollars. The page simply directs my clients to PayPal where they can enter the dollar amount in question and easily send money my way, whether or not they have a PayPal account.

    Between those three things, this whole international portal of business is keeping the cash flowing. But the benefits of having a world headquarters don't end there.
