Payment processing problems

 If you are like me and you live in a country where paypal isn’t supported then you find yourself stuck because even though you could make money you just can’t receive it. I must correct myself, my country is supported by paypal but only for sending money, receiving isn’t supported yet and I can only hope that it will be soon.

So are we all that stuck that we can’t do business online? No, there are other payment processing companies out there so it would be a good idea to check them out and find one that suits your needs. I’m going to name a few and you can see for yourself if they are good for you and the most important factor in this story, you check if your country is supported or not.

My favorite and maybe the best payment processing company besides paypal is Moneybookers (affliate link). They offer personal and merchant accounts. With merchant account you can receive money from other Moneybookers account holders and you can also accept major credit cards with a fee of 8% per transaction.
You can read more about Moneybookers at their homepage.

Second option is e-gold. E-gold is an electronic currency and they are a bit complicated because you need to exchange your e-gold for real money somehow and you can only accept payments from other e-gold members.

One of the best options that you can find is 2checkout. They offer a lot of possibilities for merchants. You can receive major credit cards, but they ask for 50$ setup where other solutions are free. You can find fees and other information at 2checkout homepage.

Last solution that I’m going to present is only for US people but since Google is growing very fast I believe that they will include the whole world very soon. As you have guessed I am talking about Google Checkout. A lot of countries are supported for payment only but as I have said, I believe that this is going to change very fast.

My personal advice is to open an account with all of these companies if you can, that way you will cover 99% of you future transactions and you won’t lose money.

Lack of paypal is a problem in a modern webmaster world but you have to deal with it the best you can, crying around won’t help you much.


I have presented a couple of solutions that you could use to receive payments so there are no more excuses, get up and start making money online, it is there waiting for you.

See you soon…

Marketing blog – monthly review

  Instead of doing my usual   marketing blog challenge   weekly update I have decided to review my first month with my marketing blog and analyze what was good and what wasn’t. So here we go. During my first month I had 797 unique visitors, that means 25 unique visitors per day which is kind of frustrating. The number is steady and it doesn’t grow but I’m confident that it will one day. I still haven’t used any ads and I won’t until I get a bigger number of uniques. There were a couple of good things that made January very fun month for me. First of them were the comments from David Temple and David Meerman Scott. They really gave a motivation to continue working on my  marketing blog . Others have gave their contribution with comments and I want to thank all of you guys and gals. Oh yeah, I almost forgot, I’ve managed to verify my paypal account with a debit visa card and now I’m very happy because I can finally buy things I always wanted. First of the things that I...

Another marketing blog challenge update

  Today I have checked position www.webinknow.com for the term   marketing blog   and David has moved down the to position number 443. I guess that has something to do with the fact that his post about my marketing blog challenge has moved down in his content. I don’t believe that more than 200 of our competitors have worked on their content and links to move David so many places down in SERPS. So today’s conclusion is that position of the content (maybe it is better to say position of keywords) definitely influences your position for high competitive terms and marketing blog sure falls under this category. Of course my  marketing blog  is nowhere near top 1000 but I’m working on it. I’ve decided to let it get older so that people link to me without me telling them to do so. I only hope that this will be the case in the next 6 months. I’m going to update my “Tools” section today so no more talk. Thank you for your time.

Marketing blog problem

Last few days I have a problem with writing content. I just can’t seem to find any good subjects to write about. Maybe it is the lack of free time that prevents me from writing or maybe I’m just too lazy these days, I’m not sure. If you think about it, writing about one single topic can be really hard. In my case writing only about blog marketing is really hard. I know that I write about marketing in general and search engine marketing, not only blog marketing but these subjects are related so I think about them as one. Optimizing your content for certain keywords (marketing blog in my case) is another thing that keeps you away from writing because you get the feeling that everything you write looks like something you have written before… I hope that I will find something good to write about tomorrow. Thank you for your time. p.s. I’m still mad at Google for not being number one for the term marketing blog challenge but at least I got from page three (21-30) to page two and now I’m at ...
