What is the PayDotCom Widget?

It is a free widget you put on your site. You choose the category and it will rotate through the top 25 selling products. You get a 7% commission each time someone clicks then purchases a product.

Is that it?

If you pay $29 you can sell your own product on the widget.

That is pretty much it.

What does it look like?

As you can see on the left – a widget displaying several product ads matching the category the website owner chooses. Basically, it is a simple widget that allows you to make commissions by advertising other peoples (or your own) products. For more info watch the video about it. Press play.

How Long to Start Making Money?

Well, after signing up (60 seconds), then placing the 2 lines of code on your site (2 minutes), then getting a reader to click on it (1 in 200), then a reader to buy the product (1 in 1000) then to wait a month for the payment to go into your PayPal account…

32 Days

What is Wrong With It?

It looks big and tacky. Even though there is 20 colors for it I believe people will look at it and simply pay it off for another advertising revenue maker. At least with AdSense you can completely integrate the color sheme and width into your site. The PayDotCom is a fixed width and seems unsightly.

Well it is Free so Can I give it a Go?

If you would like the widget above to be on your site – Feel free to try it out.

In line with building the brand of your website you should have your own logo for people to remember you instantly.

The Lifemonies logo needs work but I am using the simple half S half $ logo. You only get 16×16 pixels to work with so it helps to be simple.
