Easy Ways to Make Money Online with PayPal

 by islam ahmed:

If you plan to make money online, the payment method most commonly used is PayPal. Many clients prefer PayPal because it is fast and secure.

You might be surprised with all the easy ways you can make money with PayPal without changing your normal routine.

1. Take Cash Surveys

If you have a few minutes to spare during the day and like to share your opinion with others, you can get paid when you complete online surveys.

There are many different survey companies to choose from, but not all of them allow you to get paid by PayPal. After all, not everybody wants to work exclusively for gift cards.

Survey Junkie is one of the most reputable survey companies that allows you to earn cash rewards. Or, you can always choose to redeem your rewards for gift cards with them as well.

Another site that you might also like is Swagbucks. That give you opportunities to earn money not only by taking surveys, but by playing games, watching videos, making online purchases, and surfing the web.

All these survey sites are free to join, and you have the opportunity to earn rewards every week.

2. Freelance Writing

If you have a gift for the written word, you can get paid to write blog posts, eBooks, white papers, and B2B or B2C copywriting with PayPal.

While you can also use freelancer platforms like Fiverr, these boards can keep up to 20% of your income which means less money in your pocket. And, not every client hires on these boards.

The best part about freelance writing is that you don’t need an English or writing background to get started. While these credentials do help, people from all over who have a gift for writing, even if they have never been paid to write, get paid every day to write about their areas of expertise.

To boost your writing career, you might consider taking the Earn More Writing course written by Holly Johnson, a successful freelance writer who earns more than $100,000 a year! Holly shares her experience on how to land jobs and improve your efficiency to increase your earning potential.

3. Graphic Design

It is also possible to make money with PayPal when you have an eye for design. Whether you want to design custom t-shirts and clothing with CafePress or design websites, graphics, or logos for local businesses, you can get paid instantly with PayPal.

You can join a platform like CafePress with an established audience and client base to create your own store, or, you can also create your own website to showcase your portfolio and land clients as well. Even if you create your own site, you can still use PayPal as your preferred method of payment.

4. Affiliate Marketing

If you have a website or blog, you have the perfect platform to make money from affiliate marketing. You earn a small commission each time a visitor completes a purchase after they click the referral link on your site for products that you enjoy and recommend.

For example, you can write a post about your favorite laptop and include an affiliate link for that laptop. If readers buy that laptop, you earn a few dollars from every sale.

Each affiliate program works differently. Some merchants operate the program themselves, and you can get links directly from their websites. Other merchants partner with affiliate networks such as ClickBank, GumRoad, or Shopifyto handle the affiliate sales.

Whether you are just getting started with affiliate marketing or already have some experience, you might consider the Making Sense of Affiliate Marketing course to learn more about how to earn income by recommending products and services that you love to use yourself.

5. Sell Products on Your Own Website

In addition to receiving affiliate income by recommending products that you use and love, you can also sell your own. Whether it is an eBook, artwork, customized graphics, or drop shipping fidget spinners, you can earn an even larger profit margin by selling your products online.

If you have done any amount of shopping online, you have probably seen the “Pay with PayPal” payment option at the checkout screen. You can add these own buttons to your website with PayPal or use an online shopping cart like Shopify that will automatically deliver your digital products and drop ship physical goods you keep in a distribution warehouse.

If you don’t already own a website, you can create your own website in 10 minutes with Bluehost for as little as $3.95 per month. To be forthright, you will not start earning money immediately from a brand-new website until you attract an audience. With patience and work, it is possible to earn more than $100,000 like Michelle from Making Sense of Cents does.

6. Become a Transcriptionist

Another way to make money with PayPal is to become a transcriptionist. Sites like TranscribeMe! pay you to transcribe audio recordings from corporate, legal, and medical clients. Payments are weekly, and you can start at $20 per audio hour. If you are a certified legal or medical transcriptionist, your starting salary can be even higher.

It is free to get started with many transcriptionist sites like TranscribeMe after you pass an exam to prove your skills and adherence to their style guide.

7. Shop Online with Ebates

Another way to make money with PayPal is by shopping with Ebates. This option requires you to spend money to make money, but you can earn cash back ranging 1% to 40% of each online purchase depending on the retailer’s cash back policy.

With the ability to earn cash back at over 2,000 online stores, there’s no reason you can’t get cash back on a routine basis from your online purchases.

Ebates will pay you by PayPal on a quarterly basis once your reward balance reaches $5. New Ebates members can also receive a $10 cash bonus on their first purchase.

In addition to getting paid by PayPal, you can also opt to receive a “Big Fat Check” for free.

8. Become a Virtual Assistant

You can also make money online when you become a virtual assistant. This position can come in many different forms. For example, you can manage a website by optimizing website content for search engines, manage e-mail accounts, or supervise networking on social media to name just a few different possibilities.

Each client has different needs and might be looking to hire on a part-time or full-time basis. If you are savvy with social media, you might consider asking your favorite blog if they need a social media virtual assistant to manage tweets or Facebook groups.

These are tasks the blog owner wants to implement to reach a wider audience but might be too busy to do.

If you want to start your own virtual assistant business, check out my friend Kayla’s course called $10k VA. She created it to help others learn from her success as a VA. She currently earns about $10,000 per month!

9. Drive people around

By becoming an Uber driver, you can get paid by PayPal on a weekly basis. If you like talking to strangers and driving them to their destination in your vehicle, this can be a great way to make money from a hobby.

With Uber, you do not have to work a specific shift. You can select the nights and weekends you want to work or stay home if you have a full-time job.

10. Sell Old Electronics

If you have a drawer full of old cell phones or a closet crammed with your last three computers, you might be able to earn some extra cash by recycling your old electronics.

You can get paid with PayPal when you sell your old phones, tablets, laptops, or video game consoles to a site like Decluttr or Letgo. Both of these sites will pay you more for newer devices.

For example, you will receive more for an iPhone 7 than an iPhone 5s. Also, it is worth noting that shipping is free and that you will be paid within one or two days of receiving the shipment.

11. Sell Your Old Books

If you have books or textbooks that are only collecting dust on your shelf, you can make money selling your old booksto sites like Bookscouter.

You can also check out Valore Books, a buyback comparison site that can quickly help you find the merchant that is offering the best price.

Most book buyback services will pay you with store credit, check, or PayPal.

12. Sell Your Used DVDs

When you want to thin out your movie collection, you can also make money with PayPal by selling your used DVDs and Blu-Ray discs.

Whether it is one movie or the complete Seinfeld series, you can sell your used media to a site like Declutter. Shipping is free, and they will send you PayPal cash once they receive your movies.

You get to help a fellow movie lover find a great deal by earning a little money in the process.
