Extra Income From Paypal

Paypal is the most popular method of paying / accepting and receiving money through the internet. And I think, it is also the biggest in its business. For the past few years, Paypal has evolved into a user and business friendly payment system. With Paypal, paying and accepting payment online has never been easy.



In addition to this, Paypal has an affiliate system which can be an additional income for its members. All you have to do is to encourage people to open an account in Paypal by clicking your affiliate link and fill up the online application form. There's no need to worry because opening an account is completely free.

When your friends opened an account through your affiliate link and they begun to send money or pay online using paypal, you will receive a small percentage of payment and this will be your affiliate income. The more people you refer and the more people among them sends payment, the more income you earn.

But before you do that you need to be a member of paypal yourself (CLICK HERE TO OPEN AN ACCOUNT IF YOU STILL DON'T HAVE ONE). After becoming a member, go to the “Referral” at the buttom of the page and get your personal affiliate link that you can post in your emails and webpages.

What are you waiting? Open your account now!!!



NOTE: The Referral system does not credit payments made through eBay.

A better way to Internet

Notice these things which are very common to scammers. I also gave some simple tips and synopsis to avoid being scammed.

1. The email addressed used. Whenever you receive an email like this, look first the email address used. For example if it say that it comes from LG, then its email address should be like: name@lg.com. It is most likely that famous companies like LG, Paypal, Samsung etc, will use their website email addresses rather than use other email address like yahoo, gmail, msn, and even peoplepc etc. 

2. Analyze the content. See if the content says that you won a big amount of money from automated lottery and draws. Always remeber, a ligitimate lottery is most of the time a form of business. Meaning you have to bet first, or at least buy something from a certain company whether online or offline before you can join their lottery. Without any investment, even just a time investment, most likely it is a scam even if it explain that your email has been automatically added. 

I never bought an LG product in my entire life yet. 

Furthermore, internet companies like Google, Yahoo, MSN, AOL etc, can be sued legally if they will give away your email without your consent. And most likely, you are the one who is suppose to distribute your own email address and not these internet companies. 

3. Notice the email of the person to be contacted. Like the number 1 tip, ligitimate business use a reliable email address, bearing the name of the company as its signature email. 

4. If it will ask you further information like name, address, contact number, other email addresses, etc, this is most likely a scam who wants to gather personal information to hack. Sometimes, they use your information for illegal activities. 

5. Don't ever send money as payment for extra fees so that they can send your big sum of money through bank. Ligitimate draws are most likely free of charge when they send you money, or at least, all fees should be deducted from the amount you won. 

I hope that Peoplepc.com will try to investigate and trace who uses their company's name as sender of this email. 

We need to be very vigilant concerning emails like this. I just checked the Scam email database and I found out that there are some users who uses peoplepc.com but there is "NO" report yet of this email. So this might be new. BEWARE.

Issues From Friendster's Gcash Feature

There are some comments going around the Gcash feature of Friendster. Some people are really worried about this feature because Friendster has not proven itself to be trusted when it comes to security purposes. There has been many incidents of spamming. I myself is a victim of these Friendster spams. I think this is a valid concern for this feature especially that it now involves money transfers.

I think one of the issues that Friendster should work on first is the logging off issue. Though many Filipinos now have their own internet connections in their homes (thanks to Globe and Smart) still millions of Filipinos mostly students are using Internet Cafe's for their internet connection. Friendster therefore needs to consider to reconfigure their “logging off” process.

In some social networking sites, once you close the browser, your account of that particular social sites will automatically logged off. Unlike in Friendster, unless you explicitly logged off, your account will still be logged in even after rebooting your computer. And this is a very unsecured way of having a membership sites and a big disadvantage of those who goes to Internet Cafes.

On the other hand, instead of murmuring, here are some tips that you can do to prevent hackers from your account:

1. Make sure that your account has been properly logged off before you leave the internet cafe.

2. Double check your account if you have properly logged off. You can do this by clicking the log out button, close your browser, and launch a new browser and go to the log in page again. If you see that your account is still open, then click log off, and do the same process.

3. Be sure that you don't click the check box that says something like: “Remember Me, Keep Me Signed In, Automatically Sign In”, etc. If there is a check in the box, click it once to uncheck it. Do this step especially if you are in Internet Cafes.

4. If the three reminders above doesn't work, try to restart the computer, or ask the Internet Cafe attendant to help you restart the computer.

Most hacking happens because of our negligence and carelessness in using membership sites. Of course, membership site owners are partially to be blamed for it. But the point is, where ever we are, we need to be responsible to things that we use, even to our internet membership accounts.

Panasonic Downsizing

With the blow of economic crisis, another tech company is downsizing. Intel has already given their statement of downsizing. By closing some of their test facilities and manufacturing facilities, they hope to cope up with the economic condition of the world. So as the Panasonic Philippines.

There's a news that some of their plants will be closed, including their battery factory in Taytay, Rizal Philippines. Now that the Philippines is being affected little by little, it is undeniably more difficult for the Filipinos to find jobs. More jobless people, more competition for existing jobs.

On the other hand, some companies are still hiring employees especially those that are for cheap labor. But with the high cost of living, I myself doubt if these companies can offer enough to raise your family.

Right now, all we can do is to be creative to start even a small business. Internet is also one way of earning some money. So if you have an internet connection and your wife is just at home, you may want to talk about making an online business.

If you are looking for tips on online business, look no further. Simply browse the “Categories” on the right side corner and for sure you will find some tips on making a website and some businesses that you can start on. Don't forget to subscribe for more updates.

Enegosyo.ph: Philippine Eloading Business for Filipinos

It has been more than a year that I am with Enegosyo. So far, I am completely satisfied with the services. But here's my personal review for this eloading business for my almost 2 years of using enegosyo business services.

Advantages
First of all, enegosyo loads almost everything. Not only almost all the phone networks (I don't know if it is already open to red mobile) is being loaded, but also covers internet cards and online games. It is like all in one sim eloading business. It is like having a mobile eloading store.

Compared to Smart and Globe eloading business, enegosyo offers a wider variety of loading service which makes it really a big plus in comparison to others.

Secondly, it offer via cell phone eloading and via computer (using internet) eloading. This means that if you only have a phone, you can have this business. If you have an internet connection, the more that you can have this business. Outstanding isn't it?

Disadvantages
The biggest disadvantage so far that I have seen with Enegosyo is the mode of eloading the ewallet. If you are living in the province and you are far away from any BPI bank, better not to have eloading business with Enegosyo. Bank charges are really high, around Php 50-100 per deposit to Enegosyo account except BPI.

Though Enegosyo provided the "Weepay", their card loading wallet, still, it is not available nationwide.

My advice, look first for the nearest BPI bank in your area if there is, before you engage in this business. BPI don't charge a penny in your deposits whether it is interbranch or local.

The second disadvantage is a lower rate of profit comparing to Smart and Globe. This is interconnected with the first disadvantage. If you are also paying for your deposits, then the lower your profit will be because not only that it will cost you a bank deposit fee charge, it also has a lower profit margin.

If you are also using only your cellphone, you will also loose 1 peso per eload, thus, another minus from your profit. But if you have an internet connection, loading through the internet is free of charge.

To solve this problem as I said, look first a BPI bank in your area. If you have a BPI bank, you can definitely maximize your profit with Enegosyo.
