Alternatives to PayPal for Online Payment

We all send and receive online payments through different methods. There are lot of ways one can do it. But most of them are using PayPal online payment. Here we discuss other alternatives one can use for online payments. PayPal rules the online payment in the world.

The alternatives explain here are mainly for bloggers and web entrepreneurs living in India.

There are lot of limitations for Indian users as well as users from many other countries while using PayPal accounts.

If you are living in India it is not that much easy to use PayPal services like users in other countries like USA, Canada, UK etc because of differences between RBI and PayPal.

Depending upon the payment methods, fees of PayPal is also high.

As you may be aware, different services have different features.  It is quite obvious you are not going to like all the features of a given online payment company.

If you are a blogger who sell books online and receive online payments, you will definitely opt for a method where your transaction fee is low.  

So you can use any company for one particular transaction method that your business involves.

Will discuss the details of the said methods in my coming blogs.

How Bloggers make Money from Blogs - Part 2


If you are looking for a really simple way to make money for that … you need a blog! Many of the people who write blogs today simply want to share their opinion on something. But then there are the business-minded folks, who have found a way to use blogs, or Web logs, to bring in a little extra cash too.

If you’re interested in taking it further — blogging for bucks, if you will — here are few ways that could turn your blog into a moneymaker.
AdSense is a ‘contextual’ advertising program provides a variety of income streams to bloggers including a site search tool (you make money by people searching your site) and referral tools (where you can make money by recommending Google products).
Chitika’s flagship product eMiniMalls brings product promotion to life on the web. Provide your users with relevant content and comparative shopping information without even leaving your site.

Following this, there are few more programs who invite you for ads in return of substantial compensation; WidgetBucks, Text Link Ads, Azoogle Ads, Intelli Txt, DoubleClick, Tribal Fusion, Adbrite, Clicksor, AdHearUs, Kanoodle, Pheedo, TextAds, Bidvertiser, Fastclick and Value Click.

Blogs are exploring sponsorship with advertisers happening on a post by post basis with some bloggers being paid to write on certain topics by companies - either in one off or a regular fashion - and they are able to make big money from their blogs doing so.

Donations are last but not least, Tip Jars and donation buttons have been a part of blogging for years now but this last year saw a number of bloggers go full time after fund raising drives.

As time rolls on there are more and more ways that bloggers make money from their blogs opening up.

But for all these there should be something of it purpose too,

To attract traffic we should have bunch of information and interesting facts and not just fillers.

The “keywords” should be not less than “carewords” Due to the fact that all model-related keywords and phrases were very low paid; it needs to come up with a few additional subjects.

Content that attracts very well paid ads and could be potentially interesting to her visitors. Topics such as, student credit cards, student loans, online education, student car insurance, and others.

Put Your URL On Online Profiles

Put Your URL On Online Profiles

If you are a savvy Internet user, I am sure that you have a bunch of online profiles spread all over the place. Facebook, StumbleUpon, LinkedIn, Twitter and so on. Sometimes we just create an account on those places because friends encourage us to, or out of sheer curiosity. Regardless of the motive, it would be cool if you could put those many profiles to work and gain some traffic out of it right?

The concept: The idea is pretty simple. List your website URL in as many online profiles as possible. Usually most social networks already offer a place where you can list your website. Even if they don’t, try to find a field where you can stick it in.

StumbleUpon for instance does not have a specific field for you to insert your website URL and share it with other users. They do have an “About Me” section though, and it accepts HTML, so just stick your link there.

Does it work?: Do not expect to crash your server with this technique. If you have many online accounts, however, combined they could end up sending you a good amount of monthly visitors. Obviously if your website is large already the effect would be hard to notice, but for new websites every small bit helps.

Secondly, the traffic that you will get from the links place on those online profiles will depend on your activity on the respective social networks. If you are very active on Digg, for example, more people will end up checking your profile, and more people will be likely to click on the link to your website.

How to get started: I would not recommend creating online profiles only to be able to place your link there afterward. This technique is fruitful if you already have dozens of profiles online and can edit them easily to include a link to your website.
