I love being able to make a few bucks online. There is something special about turning my creative efforts into cash that I can spend on my family. As our economic crisis continues, however, more and more people do not have access to the capital they need.

The worse thing that can happen to a business in this economy is to find a willing buyer, only to have him or her fail to get the necessary funds needed to purchase your product. So the question truly becomes, how do you grow your business. In the past, I have focused on selling products on eBay, selling affiliate products and publishing informative articles for others. When using these methods, processing payments is relatively straightforward.

Looking forward, however, I plan on creating a few products that cannot be digitally transferred. How do I accept payment then? There are a few good Check Processing sites, in which one could process checks and credit cards. As credit becomes more difficult to obtain, having the ability to accept cash or credit becomes increasingly more important.

Over the next few months I will be offering a few of my creations exclusively to readers of experimentalblogging. If you were to buy something from me, which method of payment would you feel most comfortable using? I would be interested to find out!
