Web design and marketing

Domain Name

I recommend godaddy.com or namecheap.com for domain name registration only - NOT for hosting.

Accepting Online Payments

I recommend 1shoppingcart if you are already generating a good amount of sales and will use your own merchant account. This is one of the most powerful shopping carts I’ve worked with. You can set up many products, do recurrent billing, set up membership sites, provide upselling options, have your download page expire automatically after a certain period of time, and provide your own affiliate programs.

Third party providers allow you to take payments online without having your own merchant account and without paying monthly fees. Popular third party payment processors are PayPal, Clickbank, 2checkout and paydotcom®.

You can find more details and a comparison of third party providers here.

Designing eBook Covers

If you want to design your own ebook cover, I highly recommend PhotoShop Actions Scripts. That's what I'm using. They are the best option for graphic designers. Amazing eBook Covers provides a set of actions that will turn your flat image into a 3D image in just seconds. They include variations in size, orientation and type of image (book, box, and CD). This great package includes tutorials showing you how to use PhotoShop like a pro in minutes. Click here to get more information about using PhotoShop Actions to create ebook cover images.

If you don't have PhotoShop, specialized ebook cover generators are the next best thing. eCover Generator is easy to use and generates quality ebook cover images. Visit eCover Generator for more information.

If you want to create your own Instant PDF files, PDF Generator is a less expensive alternative ($97) than Adobe's AcrobatWriter ($249).

This software is easy to use. You can be up and running in 5 minutes. It also lets you instantly attach your PDF file to your email to email your ebook. Click here for more details about the easy-to-use PDF creator software.
