PayPal: what you need to know
What is Paypal?
Is a online payment processor that exists since 1998 (twenty years, already !!). It is present in several countries and is used by individuals, online businesses, online auction sites and also by some physical businesses.
This platform will makes it possible to carry out money transactions: purchases and / or sales, you can also receive money de otras persons o compañías donde has ganado dinero por internet.
What is PayPal NOT?
PayPal It is NOT a method to generate money online.
Existen muchas otras alternativas para ganar dinero online, pero PayPal no es una de ellas. Solo te va permitir recibirlo o transferirlo. En este post te diré cuales son las mejores soluciones para ganar dinero en tu cuenta PayPal.
Why is PayPal interesting?
I'm going to tell you because it seems interesting to me to have a Paypal account:
Today, PayPal is (almost) everywhere. Cada vez hay más páginas Web que lo aceptan, inclusive algunas tiendas físicas. Indudablemente ha llegado a ser un medio de pago fiable, del mismo modo que las tarjetas bancarias.
It is also an excellent way to make quick and easy transfers.
At the same time, PayPal has a security and encryption system special. If you are afraid that someone will steal your bank details, think about using this type of online payment platform, since you will not have to enter your bank details. So your bank account will not appear.
Another advantage is the popularity PayPal. Today it is used by well-known pages: below I will talk about which are these sites that use this means of payment.
Something else you should know about PayPal
For an individual, there are not many other things to highlight.
However, I will emphasize the existence of insurance for buyers. This covers the correct delivery of your purchases. And it can even cover intangible assets (air tickets, downloads, ...). If you use your PayPal money to make purchases online, it will do.
The platform offers two types of account:
- If you are an individual, a personal account will be enough, unless you are a very large online buyer.
- But, if you are a professional, you might be interested in a business account to earn money on PayPal. This is actually a good option if you are thinking of starting a e-commerce. In the latter case, PayPal will be an excellent ally to manage your earnings.
Cool! I'm going to use it from today
AttentionNot everything in PayPal is rosy. The platform has user fees, and although it has many more advantages than the banking system, it also has disadvantages that you should know.
To open your own PayPal account, you must be adult.
PayPal is like everything: it has a price. Below you have the rates, even when they are not excessive it is something that you will have to pay.
- For personal transactions: buying, sending and receiving money from friends and family is free as long as there is no currency exchange. In that case, a rate of 3.4% + flat rate (in the currency in which the payment is received) is applied.
- Para transacciones comerciales: enviar dinero (compras) no tiene costo si no hay conversion de divisas. Recibir dinero (ventas) aplica una tarifa de 3,4% (para ventas inferiores a 2.500 euros) + tarifa fija, esta tarifa se reduce a medida que aumente el importe de las ventas. En el caso de ventas internacionales, al mismo tiempo se aplicará una tarifa adicional de transacción internacional.
- Opening and closing the account is absolutely free. If you don't have a PayPal account yet, at this post I show you how to do it.
So: how to make money with PayPal?
I am sure that if you are here, it is because you want to know how to get PayPal money maybe for make ends meet, or to give you a whim…. So, I am not entertaining you anymore: these are the best ideas and pages to make money with PayPal.
8 easy ideas to get money in PayPal
Voy a comenzar por las ideas más simples y fáciles. ¡Todas al scope de todos! Solo hay que elegir cuando comenzar y hacerlo.
Hosting tourists in your home
For this idea you must also be an owner, in this case of a home. If so, write down this idea. Airbnb is a well-known platform, it allows you to host tourists in your home in exchange for a payment for each night. You can share your whole house or just a room.
As an example in Madrid, a flat for 4 guests booked 15 nights in a month, represents an estimated earnings of 1,377 euros. In Mexico City, an apartment with the same characteristics, 992 euros. What would your earnings be? Get an idea of how much you can earn with this simulator.
In some countries it is possible to receive payments in your PayPal account. To check if it is possible in your country, PayPal must appear among the means of payment of the chosen country. If so, you can connect your PayPal account and earn money every time you host other people in your house.
You should know that some cities have specific regulations for this type of accommodation. If you like this idea, I suggest you inform yourself beforehand.
Make PayPal money with paid surveys
The first method on this list is well known: paid surveys. These pages pay you to answer questions about products or services.
The advantage of this method is its simplicity: In general, you only need to register on the web to start winning. However, it is a method that pays little. The amounts vary from one site to another and, in the medium or long term, it is possible to make money with PayPal.
So take the time to compare the best pages, you can find several in this post. But sadly, sometimes you will be excluded from surveys if you don't meet their selection criteria.
Some web pages like LifePoints allow you to earn PayPal money from 5 euros if you are in Spain. I also suggest Toluna for Spain and some countries in South America (here I will tell you more about this page), it does PayPal payments for some countries (You can check it in the "prizes" area).
Earn money in your free time
Do small tasks to get money
Playing games, taking surveys, watching videos, etc ... are gaps in the tasks for which you will receive remuneration. This method is simple and works in several countries.
If you want to make money with PayPal like this, this page is my favorite: Gift Hunter Club (it also has surveys).
Cashback: earn money in PayPal for your purchases
Maybe you've already heard about cashback. It is basically an amount of money that is reimbursed when making a purchase. This amount can be fixed (for example, € 2 from € 40 of purchases), or a percentage (2% of your total purchases).
Among the most recognized pages, I use Beruby: here, the cashback percentages can exceed 10 or 20%. If you want to know more about this topic, read this post.
The main advantage of buying with cashback is that you can get real savings, especially if you are a compulsive shopper, or at least a regular shopper on the Internet. Imagine that they reimburse you for the 10% of a bill of 100 euros, it is a good saving, don't you think?
Yes, I know what you are thinking: the problem with this idea is that it is not free money, since you must first spend in order to get some of it back. That is why, I see it more as a loyalty program where I earn money without realizing it.
Applications to get money in PayPal
You have a cell phone? Do you want to know how to make PayPal money with it?
There are different applications that will allow you to get a few extra euros (or dollars) at the end of the month. Think by way of example when you are waiting for the bus or you are in the dentist's waiting room, do you use the cell phone? Go ahead and earn some money while your doctor finishes the old patient.
These apps will give you points for completing tasks, by way of example: download a game and reach level 5, take a survey, watch a video, visit a page, etc. However, you have to be vigilant, since sometimes they will ask you to sign up for free offers… .but after a few days (from 7 to 10 days) they become paid. Therefore it is better unsubscribe or uninstall as soon as the task is completed, and you will receive the reward.
In this idea, my two recommended apps are: GiftHunterClub (utiliza este código: EQLC6Y para recibir 20 puntos de regalo) y CashPirate (con el código: HMUVEG recibirás tus primeros 500 coins). Son las más reconocidas y ofrecen varias alternativas para obtener puntos convertibles en dinero PayPal. Si deseas conocer otras aplicaciones para ganar dinero extra, lee este post.
There are also applications that tea pay for unlocking your mobile. The task is simple: by installing an application, like Slidejoy, you agree see an ad every time you unlock your phone. Basically just swipe to the right to remove it and unlock your device, or up if you are interested in the ad. In return, the application pays you for each ad viewed. This is another example of making money with PayPal effortlessly.
In the same way as other methods that I propose here, these applications are good ideas to take advantage of the waiting time in your day to day and make yourself a little money. Definitely, nothing prevents you from using them longer to earn more money with PayPal.
Complete missions
At the same time, there are other applications that pay you to fulfill other types of tasks with your cell phone, the so-called missions.
In general, these tasks have to do with your experience as a consumer. As an example, they pay you to go to the supermarket in your neighborhood and check the price of a product, you must take a photo and upload it to the application. When your mission is validated, you will receive money in your account. In some missions, they may also ask you to answer surveys about the task assigned.
To earn money in PayPal fulfilling missions, I suggest these applications: Mobeye and Clic and Walk, both are available for Android and iOS.
Perform mini jobs
Quizá hayas oído hablar de ganar dinero con Amazon haciendo pequeñas tareas básicas. No obstante, Amazon no usa PayPal como medio de pago (ni de cobro). Por lo tanto como este post consiste en darte ideas para ganar dinero PayPal, te sugiero utilizar ClickWorker.
The mini jobs can be: search for information, check company data, categorize images, etc.
With this idea, don't wait get rich. Regularly the tasks that will be entrusted to you will be simple and they are paid very little, anyway this can represent an extra income in your PayPal account.
Make PayPal money by sharing trips in Blablacar
This time, you will take advantage of the trips in your car to earn PayPal money. How? As an example, Blablacar allows you to pay and receive money with PayPal for sharing routes with other people who go to the same destination as you.
When you have a trip planned and have a free place (or more), you can post an ad to find travel companions who will pay you to travel with you.
The downside is that even though it is a simple idea, it is not for everyone, only for those who have a car.
3 ideas to earn through PayPal that need something more from you
I have preferred to separate the ideas into two groups. The former are simpler and can be done in your free time to gradually earn money. In this group, the ideas are going to need a little more of your time, your work and your knowledge.
(*11*)
Earning money online can become your main source of income
Convertirse en Freelance
More and more people sell their services online as freelancers. And this is a good possibility to use your knowledge and experience to earn money.
As a freelancer you can offer the services of: post writer, text translator, app developer, web page designer and many more.
There are several platforms where you can create your freelance profile in a few minutes and apply to different projects. The most recognized and that pay money with PayPal are: Workana (leader in Latin America) and Freelancer (you will find projects in Spanish and English).
Comercializar digital products
Digital products are a great tool to generate income online.
Entre estos productos se encuentran: los ebooks, guías, video formaciones, etc. Si ya tienes un Blog, será un buen lugar para promocionarlo. Pero sino, puedes crear una web para promocionar tu producto. En ambos casos, no olvides incorporar el botón de PayPal para que tus lectores lo compren inmediatamente.
Of course, you have to know that this method takes a little more time, but once created it can be marketed anywhere in the world with a few clicks.
Market products of others
Si no te animas a crear tu propio producto, existe otra solución para ti. Puedes comercializar el producto de otra persona y así llevarte una comisión por cada venta. A esto se le llama affiliate marketing.
Affiliate marketing is one of the most profitable ways to earn money online and with PayPal.
Para promocionar un producto o servicio de otra persona o compañía, tienes que tener acceso en su página web, buscar el capítulo de “Afiliación” o “Programa de afiliados” y registrarte. Te darán un link de affiliate, que será el que debes usar para comercializar el producto.
Commissions are usually paid by different means, among the most used is PayPal and bank transfers (it will depend on the country).
Attention: Beware of scams!
Una de las alternativas para usar tu cuenta de PayPal es haciendo compras online, no obstante, no todos los comercios lo aceptan. Como te dije antes, Amazon una de las páginas más visitadas del mundo, no lo acepta. Pero la buena noticia es que cada vez hay más y más tiendas que lo aceptan, a modo de ejemplo: Fnac, Zara, Decathlon, eBay, El Corte Ingles, etc…
If you make your purchases on pages of good status, as a general rule, you should not have any problem. But beware, if you stay away from these big names, you better be sure that you can trust the site in question. Actually, there are several scams with your bank details (like the phishing, which is about pretending to be your bank to get your personal data).
Sadly PayPal is not spared from scams. As an example, if you receive an email requesting your account or money transfer details, delete the message immediately. PayPal will not ask you for this type of information by email. At the same time, if an online store is little known or seems suspicious, do not hesitate to seek opinions from other users.
I hope this post has helped you on your PayPal adventure. But do not hesitate to search for new pages on your own and always keep up to date with new ways to earn money through PayPal.
