Journey to Earning Money Online

Phishingor fake emails are rampant online. When I was an active e-gold user, I get phishing emails almost everyday. Since my e-gold email is separate from my regular email, I just ignore all emails that inform me my e-gold account was blocked. Today, I received a Paypal phishing (fake) email. It is not the first time but I still decide to post it here since some web users are not yet aware about phishing emails. Below is a screenshot of the Paypal phishing email that I received. item #1 - Taking a closer look, the email header has spaces between "service", "@", "paypal." and "com" item #2 - It is only the email address that was placed. item #3 - Hovering the mouse over the link, the links points to item #4 and not the link that is displayed in item #3. Below is a screenshot of the headers of real Paypal email correspondence. items #5 and #7 have no spaces item #6 shows the full name you registered with Paypal followed by Paypal e...

Since Paypal was finally approved to be fully accessible to Philippine users, many Philippine Paypal users have successfully withdrawn their Paypal funds to their bank accounts. Now, it is my turn to say I finally got my Paypal funds. I can say that Unionbank's service has greatly improved lately. Based on previous feedbacks from other Paypal users, it took them about 2 to 3 weeks to finally receive their funds. Most of them used Unionbank's EON Visa Electron Card. I was waiting for feedback from other GSIS ecard users before making a withdrawal but since I can no longer wait (looks like only very few on my sector are still aware of Paypal's existence), I went ahead and made my withdrawal. My transaction was only about 3 (or 4 ) days which will depend on how you count the days. I made my Paypal withdrawal last November 17, 2007 and funds were on my GSIS ecard last November 20, 2007. So if you have an unverified Paypal Philippines account and you have a GSIS ecard, you can ...

Since I started doing online jobs, not having a fully functional Paypal account was one of my problems. Few days ago, I posted that Paypal Philippines is still limited to sending payments and that I've already used it to pay some goods online. Well, here's the good news. Paypal Philippines can now also received payments. It's an early bonus for Filipino netpreneurs. This development will surely open up lots of opportunities for the Filipinos especially those whose source of income is online. It also means worries of how to withdraw Paypal funds is finally over (at least, this time). There were really nice people who have helped me with my Paypal transactions before and I am very thankful for all the help. I am really glad that Paypal Philippines can now received payments. I can now withdraw anytime I want without the hesitation that I might be disturbing other people. It also means additional opportunities for me. Sign-up with Paypal here . After signing-up, be sure to ver...

When working and / or receiving payments online, choosing which payment processor to use can also be a headache. In fact, some people can not participate with legitimate and paying programs if the country of residence is not serviced by payment processor being used by the program. As a brief overview of the most popular payment processors being used online, here is a list. 1. Paypal - is a widely recognized payment processor. Although there are some issues like frozen funds, it is still the most trusted payment processor online. Paypal accounts should be verified first before any withdrawal can be made. Also, some countries are not serviced, some countries have sending capabilities only while some enjoy the full benefits. Check the Paypal website for the list of the countries that are currently serviced by Paypal. For Filipinos and other Paypal account holders with send payments only, the account can not be funded. But, it can be used to pay or purchase online. Payments sent will be di...

I have extra time today since it is still a few hours before I am off to work. So, I thought of fiddling with the Windows Movie Maker and created a movie for PayPerPost as part of its blog marketing feature. I have just uploaded the video at YouTube so check it out and feel free to comment :)

After some days of thinking where to spend my remaining e-gold funds, I was able to encash the funds instead saving me from unnecessary spendings. The only remaining funds I have are those that are in investment pools and that of my funds in Marketiva. Just an overview, the acquisition and price of e-gold went down in the past weeks because of the indictment filed by the US government. E-gold was also required to submit the database of its users to the authority. Some large e-gold users are alleged to have accounts locked out affecting their businesses. Because of this, e-gold exchangers stopped accepting sell orders. If they accept orders, they already increased their transactions fees. Aside from an increased in transaction fees, the price also dropped down. It's a total relief that e-gold users are aware of what is happening giving us enough time to encash our funds. I may still be using e-gold for future transactions where it is accepted. E-gold afterall is still the most conve...

I've been using e-gold for more than a year now. In fact, e-gold is the primary e-currency I've used so far. It has lesser restrictions and it is available to any nation in the world. It is where I received my first online earnings. Then, came next is Stormpay. Unfortunately, Stormpay shock the online business world when - barely 3 months in my online earning - started charging back payments and collapsed causing losses to many people. The previous weeks were guess-what's-next for e-gold users. Many people including me are hoping e-gold will survive the recent chaos with the US government. It started with monitoring what country the user is residing. Next was the IP problem. We were not able to access our accounts because of some error messages concerning our IPS. Then, e-gold users are now encashing their e-gold. Major e-gold exchangers were shut down and can not transfer from account to another. Local currency exchangers started pricing low for all their Buy transactions...

When I was still starting with my online money making activities, I've dealt with both high and low risk investments. I've never thought of acquiring a merchant account since I can participate and earn without it. But now that I am more knowledgeable (than before) and have found viable earning opportunities online, I realized that having a merchant account is important after all. I need a merchant account that can accept credit card payments for both online and offline transactions, may it be high risk or low risk undertaking. Every second counts when it come to money and having a merchant account will connect me to my customers 24/7. I will still be dealing with high risk investment programs from time to time therefore a merchant account with high risk credit card processing such as Advantage Processors will be very beneficial. Of course, I will still do further due diligence on this one. It's a money matter after all. Technorati tags: high risk credit card processing , Ad...

Same period last year, the Stormpay fiasco broke out. Thousands of online users, mostly people who make money online, got affected. Some have lost properties and means of earning a living. I've also lost a few hundreds of dollars. Stormpay fiasco was the worst event online for 2006. For 2007, RegisterFly is taking over the record. According to this post at Registerflies, Registerfly "has currently been hacked into and taken over by Kevin Medina in the Florida office" . There are too much fuzz going all around. There are too many people affected with this issue. These are the people who depend on their domains for a living. Although I have only a few domains and considering that I have not developed them yet, I'd still like to have control over them. I consider them as my little achievements, the rewards I got for being online. I am still hoping for the best. I wonder what will happen to the domains registered with RegisterFly once their accreditation is removed....

It's only recently that Philippines was added again to the list where PayPal operates. I was excited at first because with PayPal available in the Philippines, I can get more freelance / part-time jobs. But many Filipinos were disappointed especially those who make a living online. The news is out. Paypal Philippines account can only be used to Send Payment. Without immediate use for it, I delayed the sign-up process. Today, I finally finished filling-up my application for PayPal account. I familiarized myself with the site and checked whether I am exempted from the " PayPal limited account" . Sad to say, I got this message: Your Account May Only Be Used to Send Money As a PayPal Send Only account holder, you are not permitted to receive funds from other PayPal account holders. PayPal is constantly working to expand and improve services for our customers. We hope that we can enable you to use more of our award-winning services in the future. I hope it will be soo...

E-gold was the first online payment processor that I signed up. As written on one of its pages, http://www.e-gold.com/unsecure/qanda.html , e-gold is an electronic currency, issued by e-gold Ltd., a Nevis corporation, 100% backed at all times by gold bullion in allocated storage. Other e-metals are also issued: e-silver is 100% backed by silver, e-platinum is 100% backed by platinum, and e-palladium is 100% backed by palladium. However, the most popular e-metal (by an overwhelming margin) is e-gold. It costs nothing to open an e-gold account. There is no credit check. There is no minimum balance requirement. There is no concept of a "merchant account" in that all e-gold accounts may Spend e-gold or receive e-gold payments. Key features of the e-gold system are immediate payment, no chargebacks, secure and user friendly, easy shopping cart interface, lower transaction fees, referral incentive program and availability. There are several security measures that must be followed ...
