Derek Gehl -- creator of the #1 selling online marketing system, "Insider Secrets to Marketing Your Business on the Internet" -- reveals the inside, low-down truth about merchant accounts, and tells you why there's only one company he'll stake his reputation on...

"It's a FACT! You Can Boost Your Sales
by Nearly 400% When You Accept
Credit Cards Online...

... But Choosing The Wrong Web Site Package Can Kill Your Business!"

"If you want to accept credit cards on your web site -- and save yourself weeks of aggravation -- don't apply for ANY merchant account until you read this letter!

I don't want ANYONE to get choked by the delays, broken promises, and software aggravations I experienced.

That's why I'm writing this letter for ChargeToday.

I rarely endorse my vendors, but ChargeToday has bent over backwards to help me and my customers enjoy hassle-free credit card processing.

ChargeToday is the ONE provider who can lead you across the surprisingly complex sea of automation, credit card, and software problems... smoothly, safely, and quickly!"

Dear Friend:

Did you know that 87% of Internet customers buy online with their credit cards?!

Which means that if you only accept credit cards by phone -- or worse, you make customers mail you checks -- you're losing well over HALF of the sales you could be making!

But even worse...

... those sales you're losing today are nothing compared to the tens of thousands of dollars in repeat sales you're giving up!

And that's because it's easy to sell again and again to customers AFTER you've gained their trust and built a relationship with them.

So if you make it easy for your visitors to pay you WHILE they're online, you'll capture those lost sales instantly... you'll earn bigger profits on every sale... and most of the "work" involved in processing credit cards will be done for you, automatically!

"Free Yourself From Hours of Tedious Manual Labor, Increase Your Credibility, and EXPLODE Your Sales...

... When You Accept Credit Cards Online!"

In the US alone, there are more that 500 million credit cards in use... and just in 1999 alone, those consumer spent over 1 trillion dollars using their credit cards.

Accepting credit cards dramatically increases your revenue potential in several important ways..

>> Boost your orders by nearly 400%! 87% of Internet customers pay by credit card. That's why accepting credit cards online is proven to boost orders by nearly 400% (compared to just offering the option of sending in a check or money order).
>> Improve your credibility! You look like a real business, not a fly-by-night operation, or a hobbyist working from your kitchen table.
>> Increase your profit per sale! They eliminate the cost of using 800 numbers and live operators, and credit card buyers are less concerned with price than cash buyers!
>>

Quickly grow your business! Because your customer's money is instantly and automatically wired into your bank account, you can immediately reinvest your earnings, grow your business, and keep up with the rapid growth of the Internet.

>>

Save hours of tedious manual work! The secure server ordering process is hands-free. If you already accept credit cards by phone or mail, and you're processing them off-line, you know that it can take hours to batch process your orders. Use your valuable time to work ON your business, not IN your business!

There is, however, one critical feature that most merchant account providers don't offer; though many pretend to...

... and if you sign a contract with one of these providers, you could wind up tangled in aggravations.

Trust me: I've been through it, and it cost me thousands of dollars.

And that's why I'm writing -- to give you the whole story.

"Imagine Being Betrayed By
The Vendor You Most Rely On!"

I'll never forget the day my merchant account provider turned its back on me...

After having my account with them for over four years -- and paying them thousands of dollars in fees -- they had the nerve to strip me of my merchant account.

They mailed me a 30-day notice, explaining that my merchant account had originally been set up for mail-order sales, and now that I was accepting credit cards on the Internet, they felt I was violating my merchant agreement.

I called and pointed out that during my four year history with them, I'd had virtually NO chargebacks or cases of fraud -- which proved I was not a risk.

They didn't care.

I was devastated. Over 95% of my sales were credit cards orders and, in just 30 days, I would no longer be able to accept them!

"I Rushed Out and Hired a New Provider, Who
Sounded Great -- At First"

So I hurried to get a new merchant account, and found a provider who promised not only to accept credit cards, but also to provide me with a turnkey e-commerce merchant package.

** IMPORTANT NOTE! **

Unless you want to spend hours every day doing administrative work, you MUST get a "turnkey" package!

With it, you can not only accept credit cards on your web site, but you can also effortlessly sell more than one product. Plus, you can have the money automatically deposited to your bank account.

Here are the components you'll need:

  1. Shopping cart software. This allows your customers to pick up items throughout your site and put them in virtual "shopping carts". (Just like at the supermarket.)
  2. Secure server. This allows your customers to buy from you without worrying about fraud. Without a secure server, few people will buy from you.
  3. Gateway software. This processes your customers' credit cards instantly when they complete your order form.

    It gets their cards approved, transfers the money into your bank account, and sends email confirmations to both you and your customers.

Anyway, the good news was that I was approved for an e-commerce package (which included the secure server, shopping cart, and gateway software I just described).

The bad news?

After ten days, I called the provider to see why the shopping cart hadn't yet been installed -- and for that matter, why they hadn't called me to get the server info they needed to install the software.

Originally, they had promised me that this would be a painless, "hands free" process -- they said that they would do everything for me.

Now the truth came out!

"They" only provided the merchant accounts. The shopping cart and gateway software were installed by third parties they'd contracted!

My business was at the mercy of SEVERAL companies who were failing to coordinate with each other...

"I Was Losing Money Every Day
The Software Wasn't Installed!"

So I called the gateway company directly.

After some prodding, they promised to install the software the following week. Ten days went by. When I called to check on the status of my account, they told me that the software was installed and working.

Boy, was I relieved!

But when I went to my site and tried to put an order through on my credit card to test the system...

IT DID NOT WORK!

Even worse, when I called them back they asked, "What did you do to screw it up"?

I was offended. I explained that I'd done nothing except try to place an order! It wasn't my fault it didn't work! They said they would look into it.

Another week went by...

Meanwhile, I was very frustrated and losing a lot of money. How would you feel?

Finally, they told me their software was working fine, and that the problem was with the shopping cart software. Of course, the shopping cart software was made by another company.

They steered me back to the original merchant account provider to find out if anything was wrong with my account. They told me that if this was not the case, then I should contact the shopping cart company.

I thought to myself...

"This is ridiculous! Another company is now in the loop! How many independent companies do I have to deal with to get the complete package I bought... the package that was supposed to be hassle free?!?"

"Everyone Blamed Each Other...

... And Meanwhile, I Was Losing
Thousands of Dollars in Business!"

When I called the original merchant account company, they told me that my account was in perfect condition... and that the problem was with the shopping cart software.

Then, when I called the shopping cart company, they blamed the problem on the gateway software.

When I called the gateway company again, they said their software had been installed on thousands of computers, worked perfectly, and that the problem was the shopping cart software!

In other words...they blamed each other and gave me the runaround!

I spent two months making phone calls, writing letters and email, yelling, screaming, and pleading with them -- and I still got nowhere! At that point, I was losing a fortune in business, and had to buy another shopping cart. I spent $400 out of my own pocket to fix THEIR mistake!

As it turns out, these aggravations are common today.

Thousands of online business owners are misled by companies who promise "complete packages" but in reality, contract outside companies to provide the e-commerce extras.

"Don't Be A Victim Of False Advertising"

The moral of this story?

Merchant account providers were set up to serve retail businesses, NOT online businesses like yours and mine.

Most of them can't offer you the complete e-commerce package you need.

And so setting up your web site to accept credit cards can become a full-time job if you're not careful!

Things can quickly become complicated when you're forced to deal with several different vendors...

... one for your merchant account, one for your shopping cart, another for your secure server, and yet another for your real-time gateway software.

It's tough, because many companies who say that they'll do everything for you actually only give you the merchant account. They contract out the installation of the shopping cart and gateway software to third parties.

Of course, you'll only learn this after you've signed their 5-year binding contract.

As a result, your life becomes a tangle of problems...

  • Your vendors all blame each other, no one takes responsibility, and you run in circles!
  • When the pieces of your package don't work together, you get frustrated, lose sleep, and get distracted from the important tasks of your business.
  • Meanwhile, your competitors race ahead and capture the unclaimed market share that could've been yours!
  • You lose even more money while you're switching to a new server or ISP.

If you're not careful, getting a merchant account package can be a lot like buying "assembly required" furniture...

... there are a slew of bits and pieces... a mind-boggling assortment of nuts, bolts, and nails... and "directions" that are poorly translated from another language!

It takes weeks of aggravation to put everything together!

That's why I'm such an advocate of ChargeToday.

Getting your merchant package from them is like buying your furniture from a company who delivers and installs everything FOR YOU.

"Hurry and Submit Your Application
In The Next 2 Minutes...

... only 500 Applications are accepted each month!

So now it's YOUR opportunity.

Since I've already proven to myself that these guys can back up their promises, I feel 100% comfortable giving them my personal recommendation -- something I rarely do.

As you can see, they deliver REAL results.

But I should warn you...

... Not everybody who has a website will automatically qualify for help!

In order to maintain a high level of customer service -- and give you all of the time and attention you deserve -- ChargeToday accepts just 500 applications per month.

All surplus applications are held in queue for the following month (like a waiting list). So if you want your web site to capture more sales, I encourage you to apply right away.

I don't know of any other merchant account provider who is so loved by their customers -- evident by the file of testimonials they've collected. So fill out the pre-application. It costs nothing to apply, and once you're accepted, the set-up fee is just a small one-time charge of $97.

Sincerely,



Derek Gehl, CEO
The Internet Marketing Center

Just fill out the "pre-application form" as best you can. (If you leave a few fields blank, don't worry. The bank will never see this form).
