Paypal Is Your Friend

Paypal is one of the best service offered on the world wide web. Paypal is by for the leading money transfer service on the web. It allows anyone from the everyday you and me to the biggest of the big businesses to easily send and receive payments online. This service has been on line for many years and is owned under the eBay name. Most services you use to make money online will have an option for you to use Paypal to receive you money.

Now that you know what Paypal is you need to know how to use it. First you need to goto the Paypal website (Paypal.com). When you are at the site then you will see a button that says "Sign Up Now!". Click on the button and follow to the next page. It will then ask you where country you live in, What your language preference is, and then what plan you want. As of now Paypal offer only three plans Personal Account, Premier Account, and Business Account. Each plan is geared to different people. All account are free to sign-up for but the Premier and Business Accounts will charge a small fee for accepting credit cards and other payment types. For the perpuse of this blog you will only really ever need the Personal or Premier Accounts. I would sign-up for a Premier Account for the extra benefits they toss in. Now after you choose the account you want you will then be sent to a online form. All the form want is your personal information just the same as a bank would. Fill it out and click at the bottom to continue. Follow the pages until it ask you to check you email to complete the process. After you check your email and click the link you will have you Paypal account ready for use. Now you will need to link it to a credit card or a bank account so that if you ever do get money you can just send it to the account.

Now you need to get verified. To do this click the button that says "Get Verified". You have two ways to do this. One you can get verified with a bank account ot you can get verified by Paypal Plus Credit Card. To get verified by Paypal Plus Credit Card would mean that you would have to sign-up of a credit and will use the credit card much like a debt card. The card will be linked to your Paypal account. The best way is to get verified by you bank account. This would allow you top send the money to your bank account if needed. If you choose this method then you will need to fill in your bank information. Don't worry this is very safe. Then they will make to small deposits to your bank account. When you recive the deposit amount then you will enter in the amount and if it is right then you will have verified your Paypal account.

Like I said before most program that you will use to make money will allow you to get you money by way of Paypal. Now there is another way you can use Paypal to get a little extra cash. This is by using the donation option that Paypal offers. This will put a donation button on your website and when a visitor clicks the link they can then make a donation to your site. You can set this up by clicking on the "Merchant Services" tab at the top of the Paypal page. this will bring you to a page where you have many new options. On the right-hand side you will see a menu and in the menu you will see a link named "Donations". Click the link and Fill out the form. after all this is done Paypal will give you a code to put on your site. Where ever you put the code that is where you will see you "Paypal Donation Button".

If used right you will make a little extra cash fro your site. If you did find this to be helpful please do click on my donation button and help support me and the site in our cause to find free way to make money online.
