If you want to sell books online, then you are in the right place because in this article, I will take you through the process of getting your own book to sell online.

The one at WA is much more advisable because it gives you more quantifiable details than the one at Google Adwords.

The reason I would prefer you use Moneybookers is that it allows anyone around the world to make a payment to your store. That means more money for you! You can also use PayPal simulatenously if you want
