PayDotCom True Rival To ClickBank Or Just Hype?

There are a lot of emails going around at the moment promoting a new service for product sellers and affiliates called PayDotCom. Here’s a taste of the marketing blurb:

I am sure you have heard of ClickBank (R)

They are a great marketplace but limited to many restrictions to sell products or earn affiliate commission…

Well, there is a new FREE marketplace to sell any product you want. Yours or become an affiliate for any item in the marketplace.

This site is going to KILL all other marketplaces and I bet in the next 3 months EVERY SINGLE online marketer will have an account…

I must confess PayDotCom is interesting concept, and fills a gap in the market. But whether it will “KILL” other marketplaces remains to be seen.

Personally, I doubt it.

I actually set about writing a piece to explain the key differences in PayDotCom and ClickBank, but whilst going over the site for more details I came across the table below and decided it would be far easier just to post it so you can see the bulk of the information at a glance:

Budget Podcasting For Beginners

A couple of days ago I posted [Create New Products on Skype?->] On a related theme, in his post, The Hardware Costs For A Newbie Podcaster, Richard Giles explains how a newbie can start podcasting on a very small budget, and even for free.

Says Richard:

The total cost of the hardware for me to start was zero dollars. That’s right, nada. I cheated; a mate of mine gave me a USB microphone (a $50 Logitech headset if you need to buy one). That’s all I needed to record a show. These days basic recording software comes with the operating system, so that isn’t even a factor.

I’ll confess though. I did spend $32 on [Audio Hijack Pro->http://rogueamoeba.com/audiohijackpro/]. I wanted to record interviews over [Skype->http://skype.com/], and on the [OS X->http://www.apple.com/macosx] platform, it was the easiest way. For months though, that’s all I needed.
