Due to my bruised ego, an effect of being an outsider from Paypal’s circle of users, I spent time reading about it. I found myself learning from a site where there’s a detailed account of how to use it. Of course, the first step is to look for the sign-up button. I don’t think I have to tell you this, but anyway, after that, you choose the language you prefer to use and country you’re in. If you’ll lie here then you’ll be in great trouble.
Paypal has three account types: Personal, Premier, and Business. As a freelance writer, the most advisable is the first two account types. You don’t have to pay anything unless you’re paying for your own group of writers; then you’re charged for every transaction, depending on the amount of money.
Your requirements will be an ATM card or debit card; this will serve as proof of identity and that card can also be used when you want to withdraw the money.
And because I want to have other options, just in case Paypal will bring me trouble, I continued searching and got a couple of good alternatives: Xoom, Visa, Mastercard, Eurocard, wire transfer. I just got blown off with how easy it is to get paid online. Well, for one, you just have to search the how-tos in Google, and you’ll know to go about it.
One thing that’s not so easy when it comes to online payment though, and that is getting some of your clients pay.
