How
do I know if I can trust your business operation and that I will actually
get what I pay for?
This
is something a lot of people are concerned about when dealing with online
businesses -- and they should be! Some things you should look for
in any internet business are:
*Do they have
their own domain name?* -- I do!
Those
of us who have our own domain name, such as www.tarotwisdomreadings.com,
(vs. a long, borrowed name such as www.wonderfulwebhostingcompany/site/blah-blah/myreadings.com)
have to pay for this real domain name on at least a yearly basis.
So those who are paying for this service are going to be sticking around!
*Do they pay for
their own web hosting?* -- I do!
People such as myself who pay for web hosting services a year in advance
aren't going to want to run away after spending that kind of money!
I have nothing at all against a free web host, but those users are the
ones who can more easily "run" because they haven't put out any money of
their own. Also, services with a free web host are frequently slow
and unreliable with a lot of down time . . . and I know I sure don't
want that for my clients and visitors!
*Do they offer
secure payment methods?* -- I do!
It would be unfair for me to say that "everyone" who either uses a free
web host service or requests payment by check or money order by mail will
cheat you, because that is certainly not always true! But I personally
prefer a secure method of payment for my clients. I shop online
a lot, and I know I want to feel confident that I'm going to get what I
pay for! Thus, as a small business owner, I use Pay Pal to
offer a convenient and secure way to pay online. I have used
Pay Pal in Ebay auctions and other online purchases for over 6 years now,
and it has worked wonderfully for me. It's a secure method of payment,
because the vendor never has access to your account information.
I now have a business account with Pay Pal, upgraded from the personal
account I previously used. I know I can trust this organization,
and therefore, I can offer this to my customers as a convenient pay method.
Certainly merchant accounts are nice as well, but those are geared for
the big businesses that can afford this high cost. Thus, I have found
secure methods of payment with a minimal cost that won't cost more than
what I actually earn!
The only time I accept a money order or cashier's check by mail is by customer request. This usually only happens when someone does not have a credit or debit card or a checking account. So it's rare.
If you would like
to read about Pay Pal, just click on my "Payment Methods" link at
the bottom of this page on the site map. Of course, I encourage you
to check it out so that you won't just have to take *my* word for it. ;-)
