My problem is when clients want to pay via credit card.

I’ve had a business PayPal account for quite some time that can do this for me, however it requires the client to also have a PayPal account in order to transfer money to me for my Tax Invoices. This is especially difficult for new clients as I have a policy of receiving at least part payment first before I undertake any works and establish a working relationship with the individual or business.

I’m finding that many people do not like PayPal and do not want to open a PayPal account.

Yes, there are people who just do not like PayPal. But, people do not need to open an account to pay with PayPal.
I give my clients the following message and it seems to help:

[*]If you do not have a PayPal account and do not want one, click ‘Don’t Have a PayPal Account?’ to use your credit/debit card without a PayPal account (You do not need to open a PayPal account to pay by credit/debit card ).

Open a wanted article or page. Right-click somewhere on the page and a context menu should appear. Select “Print” and a Print Dialog box should open. Near the top of the box on the left-hand menu there should be “Destination” and a “Change” button. Click on Change and select “Save as PDF”. Now the blue button at the top of the left-hand menu should say “Save” (instead of Print). Click on Save and choose where you want to save the document. It will save with all the text and graphics. Then you can open it with any PDF reader app.

Chrome Users – This works way better for me:

(Before clicking, for Windows Secrets I always copy the Issue and Date info to paste onto the beginning of the saved file – your choice)

1. On the web page – Right click and choose Save As
2. Select either Webpage, Complete or Webpage, HTML Only as file type depending on your preference (Complete works for me).
It also suggests a file name (here is where I add in the Issue and date from newsletter header).
3. Save it to your chosen folder.

Voila!
