PayPal screenshotToday, lots of people are interested in blogging, some for the purpose of entertainment, expression of ideas or thoughts about certain things or solely for earning money. One can never deny the fact that people are easily fascinated by easy online jobs which of course involves earning money in a fast and simple way. It is really ideal to write an article about something we enjoy and earn money at the same time, and there are varieties of online payment service providers to ensure that we, bloggers, receive our earnings without a problem. However, because some bloggers set eyes on money alone, they tend to ignore the subtle dangers of entrusting their money online.

Let’s take PayPal for example. PayPal is used as a channel for making online money transfers and payments, an alternative to paper transactions. Many bloggers nowadays use PayPal for business. Still, it is advisable to set standards and precautionary measures on choosing the aforementioned online money transfer so we may be able to see the advantages and disadvantages that come with it.

The first thing to consider about choosing PayPal is its safety. Since it is no wonder a big company and patronized by people all over the world, cybercrime in online jobs is inevitable. It was stated in news that PayPal is not regulated as a bank, therefore, the safety it offers isn’t as concrete as other banks. Additionally, there are numerous cases and complaints that PayPal executes sudden freezing of accounts without further notice, one if its disadvantages.

Another is its service – whether the transaction is fast or slow. Based on online forums, PayPal customers stated that it usually takes 3-5 days to complete such action, but the person receiving money has an immediate access to it, which is favorable and convenient for bloggers.

We may encounter different outcomes when it comes to online jobs, because first and foremost, one may consider it risky. But it is important for bloggers to be careful, especially when dealing with money, so we should choose wisely which payment service provider to entrust our money to. To decide whether PayPal is good enough relies on the bloggers themselves, in which picking an online help when it comes to money is taken into consideration.

Well, I have been using PayPal for my blogging at home activities and so far I have no safety issues and other risks that made lost my money. But the only thing I’m sure is that I feel like the service charges PayPal have been deducting to money I received from advertiser paying for my blogging services is somehow HUGE. I know other PayPal users have the same sentiment, but anyway I am doing online business. Aside from the fact that their conversation rates from dollar to your local currency is quite lower as based on worldwide foreign exchange.

In any case, I still like PayPal for convenience in making may online transactions – my earning money from blogging activities. If anyone of you reading this, do you have the same sentiments or anything to say about PayPal? Please comment below.
