Setting Up Your Blog to Sell

           I wanted to have an online presence just for selling. I had an idea to set up a separate blog with Small Works to Go and other Sale items. I called the blog UpLIFTMeNTs.  http://wenredmond.blogspot.com

             The set-up is the same as any blog. To make it a selling blog you need to be able to accept payments. An easy method is to first create a PayPal account. Anybody can buy your work using PalPay itself or credit cards. It’s secure and notifies you when you have a sale. Delicious!

            Once you set up a PalPal account you can create PayPal buttons in merchant service section. There are several different buttons to choose from.

            First, simply create your post as usual, with your sale item; on your blog- then go to Paypal to create your button.

            PayPal will give your html code to copy and paste into your blog post.

            There are 2 tabs - compose and html- for creating your blog post. The secret is to choose the html tab on the top left of your blog post BEFORE you add the PayPal code. Once you select the html tab, your post will be in code. 

            Simply paste the PayPal button code at the bottom.

Then hit the compose tab at the top again and your post should be complete with your PayPal button.

             It is easier to do one item per post.

Good Luck!
