Introduction E-junkie is an online product delivery system that can greatly simplify a lot of the steps needed to run an online store. You can use E-junkie to sell both physical and digital products; though many of its real strengths come into play particularly with digital products. Let’s take a walkthrough of E-junkie’s top features, as well as the account setup process.
E-junkies Top Features Use E-Junkie to Create Purchase Buttons At its core, E-junkie is a payment processing system. One of its main features is allowing you to create buy now buttons very easily. You don’t need to go through a complicated setup procedure. You don’t need to deal with merchant accounts. You don’t need to get a Federal Tax ID number, you don’t need to register a business. E-junkie will process all your payments for you. You do need either a PayPal account, a 2CheckOut account, a Google Checkout account or a Clickbank account however.
Secure, Expiring Download Links Having static download links is extremely dangerous if you’re sending a digital product. If you’re selling an eBook for example, there’s nothing preventing people from posting the download link on a forum or email it to their friends, costing you hundreds or even thousands of dollars.

E-junkie’s expiring download links feature prevents this. Every time someone makes a purchase, they’re immediately taken to a download page and sent an email. The download link they get is only valid for a few hours. A few hours after they’ve downloaded the product, the link will automatically disable itself, preventing any unauthorized downloads.
Easily Identify Any Product Leaks If you should find your product posted on a torrent website, on a message board or shared in any other unauthorized manner, you can quickly track it down using E-junkie’s system. E-junkie has the ability to stamp every PDF download with a unique identifier. If you should find that download anywhere else on the internet, you can easily track it down back to its original purchaser and forward their details to the authorities.
Affiliate Program Management Another powerful feature of E-junkie is its affiliate management software. E-junkie can track an unlimited number of affiliate sales, attributing each sale back to their accounts. You can create affiliate links that go directly to the payment page, or buttons that link to your site or sales page.

Autoresponders and Follow Up Systems E-junkie also has the ability to follow up with buyers. You can send product updates, followup and cross sells to any specific buyer group, or all your past buyers.
Tracking and Analytics Tracking is one of the most important components of ensuring that you have a positive return on investment, especially if you’re paying for traffic. E-junkie automatically integrates with Google Analytics, giving you important statistics like pageviews, bounce rate and visitor return rate. In addition, E-junkie will also integrate with the tracking systems of a number of PPC platforms, including but not limited to Google AdWords, Bing and AdBrite.

Naturally, the less space you use, the less you have to pay. The pricing plans are as follows. These prices are valid at the time of this writing (September 2011) but subject to change.

Here’s what each of these selections means: Single File Download / Redirection: Upon completion of the purchase, will your customer be given a single file to download, or will they be directed to a thank you page? Send Stored Codes / Send Generated Codes: Use this if you have a product that needs to be verified by entering a code, serial number or product ID key. If you sell a stored code, you’ll need to enter a series of valid codes into E-Junkie. You can store up to 10,000 codes. On the other hand, you can link E-junkie up to your code generator so that it’ll generate it on the fly whenever an order is completed. To do that, click “Send generated codes.” Package Files from Other Products: Sell more than one product at once. Inventory Control: Use this for limited quantity sales. Sales Tax, VAT: Check if you want to charge buyers tax Shipping/Buyer’s Address: Check if you want to record the buyer’s shipping address. Let Buyers Edit Quantity / Price: Check either option if you want to let the buyer choose how many they’re ordering or how much they’re paying. Variants: Different ways of using one “Buy Now” button to sell different products, have different pricing or display different product information. Send Transaction Data to URL: Use this if you have your own external tracking system. This option allows you to send all the purchase data using the URL, which can then be pulled by your system and recorded. Leave it unchecked if you’re not using a system that allows you to do this.

Using the Autoresponder Feature E-junkie makes it very easy to keep your buyers up to date on latest developments, on updates or on promotions through its autoresponder features. It’s important to note that the autoresponder feature is not free and does not come bundled with your package. That said, E-junkie’s rates are much lower than using a commercial autoresponder service if you have a small list. Here’s how to use the autoresponder feature...
Step 1: Click “Send Updates / Newsletter” Under “Manage Buyers,” click “Send Updates / Newsletter.”
Step 2: Select Whether It’s a Newsletter or Update A newsletter is simply an email message that’s sent using the system. An update on the other hand is sent out with a download link for the new product. In other words, use the “update” feature only if you’re upgrading an old product and want all your old users to be able to download it. Use the newsletter feature if you just want to send everyone an email. If it’s a product update, select the product you want to update. If it’s a newsletter, just select “Newsletter.”

Using the update or newsletter feature, you’ll never be out of touch with your customer base. You’ve now learned how to access the update / newsletter interface, the difference between an update and a newsletter, how to send an update or newsletter and how the costs are determined.

Conclusion: Put Your Information Publishing Business on Autopilot Click here to set up your e-junkie account with your FREE 7 day trial For those who wish to have more free time, an information publishing business may be perfectly suited for you. An information publishing business can practically run on autopilot if you apply the right strategies.
A few tips to putting your info publishing business on autopilot:
1) Take advantage of available technology. Spend just five minutes searching online and you'll see countless programs and tools to help you automate many aspects of your business.
For example; you can either manually send out emails to your prospects and customers – or set up an autoresponder that automatically send emails on a preset schedule. My hosting company provides a very good, basic autoresponder that's super easy to set up. You can check that out here (and get access to a $1 trial period.)
And don't forget about the Word Press plugins that automate or reduce your work time. There are plugins that allow you to bulk upload and schedule new posts in advance -- which is great if you invest in some PLR content (check out my site, PLRContentShop.com) or pay a writer to write content in bulk. There are also plugins that automatically send tweets and Facebook updates to followers when a new post is published on your website.
Again, there's software as mentioned above (e-Junkie) that assists with automation. Your digital products are automatically delivered to your customers.
2) Generate an in depth knowledge base or FAQ. Spend some time creating an area on your website that answers your most frequently asked questions. Be sure your answers are clear and precise to avoid confusion. If you have one FAQ for multiple sites or you have a

large knowledge base, create categories or groups to help visitors navigate quickly. If possible, also add a search feature to your FAQ.
Not only will having an in depth knowledge base save you countless hours in support time, but it will provide your prospects and customers with instant answers which will make them happy.
3) Outsource recurring tasks. Even when a business is automated, there are tasks that will need someone's attention, however, that someone doesn't have to be you. Business tasks such as content creation; product creation, customer support, project management, automation monitoring and even bookkeeping can easily be outsourced. While outsourcing may seem scary at first, once you get a good team in place and have a set schedule, you can focus your efforts on things you enjoy.
4) Build your sales strategy. From setting up an affiliate program to creating back-end offers, spend some time and map out how your sales funnel will work. If you offer an affiliate program, create tools and resources to help affiliates promote your business. When setting up products, see if you have another product that is complimentary to the first product. If so, offer the 2nd product at a discount as an upsell.
Include back-end offers in your email marketing campaigns for added income. Be sure to keep track of your offers, where they are located, when they expire, etc so you can quickly update them as needed.
Putting your information publishing business on autopilot isn't hard to accomplish. It just takes a little time initially to set everything up, hire a team (if you wish), establish a schedule and work through any kinks. After that, you'll be on your way to generating a bigger income with less effort.
