The Tools You Will Need to Make Money From Home
Online Payment Processors
Generally, the Internet trades in US dollars wherever you are in the world and payment through an online service is a more economic way
of exchanging dollars to your local currency than paying in a check to your bank. Many affiliate programs require you to have an online account from one of the major services so
it is prudent to join them all. You can also pay on line for services like web site hosting and purchases at auctions for instance. They are free to join.
PayPal, one of the biggest. Your account 'name' is the email address you register and your password is
the only 'key' to your account so do not give it to anyone! Your earnings will be paid to the Paypal account under the email address you give so make sure you type in the correct
address with no typo errors. My comments below regarding credit card fraud on the Net also apply to Payment Processors.
Liberty Reserve is becoming more popular and is funded from
your bank or credit card by agents.
SolidTrustPay is very popular and very secure and also can be funded by
plastic once verified.
AlertPay easy to fund from a credit
card.
E-gold is another popular payment service though more
difficult to fund. Your new e-gold account can be funded using the following agents:-
londongoldexchange.com - accepts credit cards
omnipay.com
eurogoldsales.com
goldex.net - accepts credit cards
goldnow.st
goldage.net
anygoldnow.com
Disposable email addresses.
Get a free email address from Inbox or Google to use and so keep your main address for private use and less spam. It is a good
idea to keep your Inbox tidy and delete old mail.
Make a folder called 'Sign Up' and put in there all emails with your sign-up details for programs you have joined. It will be easier for you to keep your Inbox clear and avoid
deleting important information by mistake.
If the address becomes clogged with spam just open a new account.
A dedicated credit card for the Internet
Get another credit card for Internet use only and keep the limit low. Using plastic online is in fact safer than using it in a restaurant but it helps to keep
your online finances separate, so check with your existing card supplier for a second account.
Most credit card fraud is caused by the card holder being tricked into divulging their personal details to the fraudster through phishing or spoof emails. The
emails look so genuine - the right colour, graphics, font - but often have spelling or grammatical mistakes and the link to send the information may read as one thing but actually
go to another site. Never click on a link in such emails. If you think it might be genuine, type the link into your browser by hand.
Software
WordPress.com will help you make a website using one of their themes as a template. Insert all the
information you want and then save your work to a folder on your computer. I use Adobe Dreamweaver but that costs hundreds of dollars.
FileZilla A YouTube demo on how to get this File Transfer Protocol (FTP) program onto
your computer and how to use it to transfer files from your PC to the server where your website is hosted.
PhotoResizer A very simple free program to re-size your photos to fit
a web page.
You can also use MS Paint which comes with Windows to make simple graphics suitable for the Net when saved in .JPG or .GIF format. It is important that your graphic files are as
small as possible to speed the loading of your web page.
