Microworkers Guideline- FAQ, Questions and answers

What is Microworkers?

Microworkers is an innovative, International online platform that connects Employers and Workers from around the world. Our unique approach guarantees Employers that a task paid is a task successfully done, while Workers that successfully complete a job get paid.
The tasks assigned to Workers and paid for by Employers are simple and quick, mostly completed in a few minutes, thus they are called "microjobs”. These tasks include simple Sign ups, social bookmarking tasks, forum participation, website visits, rating contents, adding comments, suggesting leads, creating backlinks, writing reviews or articles, downloading applications, testing websites and so much more.
Joining Microworkers is free, and as an International site, anyone from any country can be a member.

Who are the Employers?

Anyone can be an Employer. If you own an online business, a blog, a video channel or simply need referrals for your favorite programs, Microworkers is definitely the place to come and have your small tasks assigned to tens of thousands of active Workers who are always ready to complete your job.
Whether you need traffic for your website, comments or a fresh post for your blog, bookmarks or Likes for a video you want to be popular, or testing and review for your new application, hiring Workers from our program ensures you affordable, quick and top quality results.

Who are the Workers?

Anyone can also be a Worker. You can be a stay-at-home mom, a student who needs extra spending money, or if you simply love helping others while making some extra cash alongside, this is the place for you. Joining Microworkers as a Worker does not mean you are employed by the site. Instead, you will be working as a freelancer. With that, you can work as much or as little as you want. At the same time, your potential for earning is also limitless since you can accept all the jobs you believe you are capable of completing, and get paid for them.

Can I be a Worker and Employer at the same time?

Absolutely, signing up to Microworkers allows you take "microjobs". At the same time, when you have projects (campaigns) you wish to run, you can use the same account to do so. You simply have to click on the Start a Campaign option, and post your job. What's more, you can use your earnings as a Worker to fund your campaign as an Employer.

I am a Worker...

Can I have more than one account?

No. There is no need to maintain more than one account and it is against Microworkers' Guidelines. If you've lost your login information, you can request to have it sent to your Email address. If you are caught having more than one account, your account(s) will be terminated, your IP address(es) will be banned, your payments will be forfeited and you can no longer participate in Microworkers' program in the future.

How do I earn money?

If you wish to look for "microjobs", click on the Tasks link and browse through the hundreds of listed tasks. Each task will display a set of instructions, the time to complete it and the amount you will earn for finishing the job. If you believe you can finish the task, click on Accept to accept this job, and the page will display a form where you can enter the proof required by the Employer. Otherwise, click on Cancel if you do not wish to perform the job.

What is a Success Rate and why do I need to maintain it?

The Microworkers Success Rate ensures Employers that they get quality results from the campaigns they are running. This feature prevents workers from posting spam or fake proofs, and low-quality output of the tasks they perform.
Poorly performed tasks will give you a negative rating and will pull your Success Rate down. To maintain a high Success Rate, make sure to only accept tasks you are capable of completing.

I have been misrated by my Employer. What should I do?

If you believe you have been misrated for a job that is properly completed, let us know and we will look into the issue. Just open the task details page and click on the "Create a Complain" link. After reviewing your claims, we will credit your account with the amount due to you. Otherwise, if the Employer gave you a negative rating for an appropriate reason, you will not be credited. Microworkers will maintain a fair approach in dealing with work disputes and will be looking after to what is best for both Employers and Workers.

Where can I view the jobs I have completed?

Once the Worker submits a proof, the job will appear in the list of Finished Tasks. Tasks not yet rated by Campaign owners (Employers) are listed under "Submitted Tasks". Tasks that have been rated can be viewed under the "Rated Tasks" tab. A comment is available for each task describing if it was rated with "satisfied" or "not satisfied".

Where can I view my earnings and account activity?

If you want to view your account transactions, click on the Account tab from the top menu. The page will display your personal information and account details. To view your earnings, click on the “All Transactions” link under the Transactions section (lower left). To view your deposits, click on the “Transactions (Deposits)” link. To view your withdrawal history, click on the Withdraw link from the top menu. All withdrawals with the corresponding Date, Withdrawal method, Status and Amount will be listed in the page.
Your account's current balance is displayed on the top section of your page.

How and when do I get paid?

Once the Employer reviews your submitted task and approves it, the amount assigned for that particular job is automatically added to your account balance. If an Employer fails to rate tasks, his campaign will automatically close and the submitted tasks will be rated "Satisfied" by the system after the assigned Time-to-rate period (number of days set by the Employer to allow him to rate tasks). Likewise, the assigned amounts for the closed tasks will be credited to the Workers' accounts.
When your earnings reach $9, you will be allowed to place a withdrawal request. To do so, click on the Withdraw tab from the top menu, and then click on the ‘Place a New Withdrawal Request’ link. You can choose a withdrawal method between Paypal, or Skrill (Moneybookers), as well as the amount you only wish to withdraw. For US citizens a withdrawal via Dwolla is also possible.
More payment options will be available in the future. Announcements will be made once they are implemented. All payments are made in USD.
Payments to Workers are sent twice a week, every Wednesday and Sunday.

What is a Microworkers PIN?

Withdrawals require a PIN in order to be activated. Your PIN is mailed to your home/mailing address after placing first withdrawal request. This is an automated process. The reason why PIN is mailed to one’s mailing address is to ensure that all Workers are verified, thus, preventing multiple accounts. Once the PIN is mailed, such status will be displayed in your account and a link will appear on your page where you may enter your PIN once it is received.
After such is completed, your withdrawals will be activated.
***Note that the PIN process is only performed for the first withdrawal request and will no longer be repeated once your withdrawals are activated.
PIN delivery can take between 1-4 weeks, depending on your mailing service and location.
Please ensure you have entered your correct mailing address. An option to request a new PIN is displayed in your page if such is not received. A $2 fee will be deducted from your account balance if you opt to request a new PIN.
For succeeding withdrawals, a withdrawal PIN to one’s email is sent in order to complete the withdraw request.

Can I use my earnings to run my own campaign?

Certainly, simply click on Campaigns from the top menu then select between Basic or Hiregroup campaigns. Then click on the Create a new Campaign option to post your job.

What's the best way to stay up-to-date on what's new with Microworkers?

You can join us on Facebook or follow our tweets on Twitter. We also have a Microworkers newsletter with interesting jobs, weekly tips, news and more.

I still have questions...

If you couldn't find the answers from our FAQ page, feel free to send an email to

I am an Employer...

How do I start my Campaign?

Go to your Campaigns page, click on the Create a new Campaign option, and post your job. To describe your campaign, put in an appropriate Title, select a Category, and give a list of instructions for the Workers to follow and the proof you require to ensure the job is completed. You can choose to run your campaign to US Workers or International Workers.
Then put in the number of minutes a Worker must need to finish the job and the number of positions you are willing to pay for. The page automatically displays the total cost of your campaign for you to make adjustments, if necessary.
All campaigns submitted are reviewed for approval before displayed to the Workers. Be sure to include all details about the campaign with clear and easy-to-understand steps.

Basic Campaign VS Hiregroup Campaigns

"Hire Group" Campaigns are different than "Basic" Campaigns. When you run a "Basic" Campaign, you cannot select Workers; every available Worker in the system will be able to accept your job. This type of Campaign is suitable for easy tasks such as Voting, Searching, Liking a Facebook page, etc.
"Hire Group" Campaigns allow you to assign jobs only to Workers of your choice. You can create Groups of Workers and assign tasks to that particular Group. If you want more Workers to perform your required task, you can simply add more to the Group even while your campaign is active. You can search for good Workers, sort by different criteria and hire only Best Workers.
When your campaign requires different information to be displayed to each Worker, you have the option to upload a CSV file (spreadsheet) and assign individual Workers with a different task/variable. Please refer to the following page for guidelines on uploading a CSV file: https://microworkers.com/csv.php
"Hire Group" campaigns are recommended for more advanced jobs such as: Tagging Images, Checking Websites, Writing Articles, Writing Reviews, Posting to Forums, Creating Blog Posts with Backlinks, etc.
Note that the cost per task under Hiregroup section is the same with Basic.

My campaign is Pending Review and I wish to Cancel it

Should you want to Cancel a campaign before it is activated in the system, simply click on the Cancel link in your individual campaigns page. Funds locked for the campaign will then be credited back to your account.

What is a Campaign Speed?

The "Speed" box is where you can indicate how fast you want your campaign to run. This is one of the best features of Microworkers. You can set your Speed between 1 to 1000 (1 being the slowest and 1000 as the fastest), which you can modify anytime during your campaign. This feature gives you more control over your campaigns and the results you expect.
As an additional feature to allow better control of your campaigns, Microworkers implemented a Pause and Resume option.

How do I fund my campaign?

Click on the "Deposit" link from the top menu. You can fund your campaign using any of these available payment processors:
Automated Deposit:
- Credit Card
Money will be available in your account immediately after you confirm the transaction.
Manual Deposit:
- Skrill (Moneybookers)
- Dwolla (only for US citizens)
Please include your Microworkers ID when sending payment. After you have sent the money, send open a Support ticket with subject "Money Deposit" so we can process it immediately.
There is no deposit fee.
If you would like to deposit large amount of money, please contact us.

I wish to add more positions to my currently running Campaign

No problem. Microworkers has a wonderful feature that allows Employers to add more positions to their campaign even while it is on progress. That will save you a lot of time and trouble of having to begin another campaign and wait for it to be approved.
Simply access your campaigns page, choose the campaign you want to add positions to, type in the number of positions you wish to add, and click on the Add positions link.

What is TTR (Time-to-Rate)?

TTR is number of days set by the Employer to allow him to rate tasks. Basic tasks should be set around 1-7 days since the Workers submissions may already be verified within the period. Should you wish to set your TTR beyond seven days, please provide a valid reason for such.

How do I Rate my Workers?

Microworkers has implemented a system that allows checking and rating campaigns more manageable for you.
Go to your campaigns page and choose the campaign you wish to review. Click on the Tasks tab and a list of all submitted proofs will be displayed in a single page. You do not have to individually open each task to check the proof.
With the Select All box, approving several tasks can be done with just a single click. However, should you prefer to approve each task one by one, you can always do so.
A "Satisfied" rating automatically transfers the fund you have set aside to each individual Worker's account. You would only be paying for tasks you rate "Satisfied".
Should you find a submitted proof unacceptable, please click on the task ID. A box will open. Enter your reason for declining the task and click Submit
Alternatively, you may enter a message on the same box instructing the Worker how to correct his task.
Once the correction has been completed by the Worker, you may reverse your 'Not Satisfied Rating' for the Worker to 'Satisfied' by using our 'Reverse a Task' feature.
No tasks should remain open for a long period of time. If you forget to rate your Workers' tasks, they will automatically be closed by the system and will be rated "Satisfied" after the Time-to-rate period.

I do not have time to Verify the tasks submitted to me.

Microworkers’ VCODE verification process allows you to verify proof and rate users as soon as they complete the task. This feature can be used if your websiteprovide users with a payment code for verification.
You can learn more about VCODE feature here on our blog at:
http://www.blog.microworkers.com/vcode-verification/
Please find details about Vcode implementation here:
https://microworkers.com/vcode.php
Please note the Vcode formats are different for Basic and HG campaigns.

How do I reverse a Task Rating?

In cases where a Worker has corrected a previously wrong submission or if you believe you have mistakenly given a Not Satisfied rating to a deserving Worker, you may reverse your task rating using our Reverse feature.
This feature is only available under Basic Campaigns and only for reversing 'Not Satisfied" tasks to "Satisfied'. To do this, click the blue 'Reverse' link on the right part of your Basic campaigns page.
Only 200 tasks can be processed at a time. Simply enter the Task ID of the Task you wish to reverse ratings (one per line, or separated by space or commas), add an Optional message on the extra box below, then click on the 'Reverse tasks' button.

What happens if I decide to stop my campaign?

Should you want to end your campaign even before all available positions has run out, simply click on the Stop link in your campaigns page. When that happens, funds for the unused positions will be credited back to your account.

When it comes to making money, most people consider doing something new. However, for some people, the regular job is really the ideal place to discover more money-making opportunities. To start with, the changes that you make to your monthly income offer some residual benefits.
Remember the aim is not just to earn more money now – it is important to earn more for the future. For that reason, it is necessary to get paid your real value from the word go. Sacrificing $200 a month now means sacrificing $200 a month your entire life.

2. Get a Side Job

While the economic situation does not favor getting a new job, this strategy can be a great way to earn some extra cash on a regular basis. At the same time, holding two positions can be difficult. However, this is one of the fastest ways to make ends meet and meet your personal financial obligations. If you get a second job, your income will definitely reflect that, as well.

Such businesses can be operated at home and at your own time with good results. However, you don’t have to set up a side venture based on your hobbies. You may want to use your professional knowledge and skills to set up a consultancy business. Or you might want to make more money by tutoring private students.

6. Start a Blog (or a Website)

If you seriously want to have a reliable source of income, then starting your own website or blog could do the trick. If you can write quality content, network with fellow bloggers and create a good looking website, then this is a good money-making undertaking that you may want to venture in.

How To Make $10,000 Per Month With Google AdSense

by BUDGETORCOM

What is: Passive income?

It is the kind of income that comes from a source that requires little effort on your side and which you get on a regular basis (monthly, quarterly, etc). These could be Rents, bank interest, or a royalty from a published book. But in the online world, it could also be an Adsense income from your Website or Blog that you can also collect on a regular basis. When a Blog is established, all you need to do is maintain the traffic by adding quality content and keep giving value to your site.

How to start earning money from Adsense:

Many people think that earning from Adsense more than $100, $200 or even $500 per day is impossible because they look at their own numbers and they get discouraged by the miserable 10 bucks that they receive per month for their blogs.

However, there are thousands of Bloggers that are achieving the above numbers and they earn from $2000 to $10,000 per month, or even more.  How do they get do these numbers with Adsense?  Their secret is: determination, effort, blog planning,  passion for their niche, and patience (specially at the beginning).

Before explaining how to earn 10,000$ per month, let’s revise all the definitions involved in the earning calculations so you have a better understanding of the procedure.

AdSense:  It is an affiliate program created by Google that let us use their ads in our blog and earn money when people click on them. They are contextual ads that are related to the content of your site. For example: if your site relates to finance, your ads will show finance related products or services. How does it work? Google Adsense acts like an intermediate between the advertiser and the publisher, and they profit from the difference(pays less to publishers than what they charge the advertisers).

The click-through rate of an advertisement is defined as the number of clicks on an ad divided by the number of times the ad is shown (impressions), expressed as a percentage.^{[2][3][4][5][6][7]} For example, if a banner ad is delivered 100 times (100 impressions) and receives one click, then the click-through rate for the advertisement would be 1%.

Source: wikipedia

Example: Consider that you get 2 clicks of 1000 impressions.  The CTR calculation: 2 clicks/1000 impressions= 0.02 = 2%.

Cost Per Click (CPC): A website that uses CPCs would bill by the number of times a visitor clicks on a banner instead of by the number of impressions. Cost per click is often used when advertisers have a set daily budget. When the advertiser’s budget is hit, the ad is removed from the rotation for the remainder of the period.

Investopedia explains ‘Cost Per Click – CPC’:  For example, a website that has a CPC rate of $0.10 and provides 1,000 click-throughs would bill $100 ($0.10 x 1000).

Source: Investopedia

CPM: CPM means “Cost Per 1000 Impressions.”

Check from Google AdSense (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

Now let’s start to make $10,000 Every Month With Google AdSense…

Suppose your CTR is 1% and your CPC is $0.3 (this CPC is not difficult to meet unless your niche has no advertisers such as arcade, recipes, Free Music Downloads, wallpapers. Stay away from these niches and opt for finance, marketing, insurance, health, etc). You can change these parameters with your own so your calculations are more accurate.

• In order to make $10,000 per month, we need $333.33 per day.
• We need to get to $333.33 per day. Consider you receive 100,000/day Page Views,  1000 Clicks a day with 1% CTR. 0.3 CPC. Let’s do the math:1000 clicks x 0.3$  x 30 days = 9000$ Really close!!!
• In order to Get 100,000 Page Views we need to make at least 1,000 awesome Blog articles to attract at least 100 page views / post per day.
• You will also earn from the CPM impressions. Regardless of the niche, the average CPM earning is $1 per 1,000 impressions. You can make $100 per day easily from those  100,000 page views per day. $100 per day means another $3000 per month.

• Other alternatives to get more income: Clickbank products, BuysellAds, and other affiliate products you may find in other affiliate networks such as warriorforum(related to marketing), comissionjuction, etc. You may get another $100 per day with each of these programs easily with the kind of traffic we are getting.

Let’s now add every earning and put them altogether:

$300 Adsense cpc +

$100   Adsense CPM +

$100 Buysellads +

$100 from clickbank +

$100 other affiliate program(Warriorplus, jvzoo, commissionjunction)

= $ 500 per day x 30 Days

$ 15,000 Per Month

Is this not enough for you? Well, many bloggers are earning this much or even more, but they know that to get results they need to work hard, stay focused and be passionate about what they are writing about.

To conclude:

The results we are showing in this article can be achieved if you are in a competitive niche with a CPC of $0.3 and if you make 1,000 great articles in 2-3 years. Consider that you can make $15,000 with 100,000 Page views per day, so to make $10,000 you need 50% less Page views per day!

How To Earn $100 Per Day With Google AdSense, And How Much Traffic You Need

How To Earn $100 Per Day With Google AdSense, And How Much Traffic You Need

Earning $100, $200 or even $300 per day with Google AdSense is not an impossible job.

Many bloggers and website owners are doing it, and you are not an exception. The only thing you need is better planning and execution, hard work, determination and passion for blogging about your topic or niche.

Before diving into the exact process, let’s know some terminology for better understanding of Google AdSense and how you can generate more revenue by selling your ad inventories on your blog.

What Is AdSense: It’s a monetization program by Google for online content from websites, mobile sites, and site search results with relevant and engaging ads.

CTR : Your ad Click-through Rate is the number of ad clicks divided by the number of individual ad impressions. Suppose you are showing 3 AdSense ads on every page, your 1 page view is equal to 3 ad impressions.

CTR = Clicks / Ad Impressions X 100

Suppose, you get 5 clicks out of 500 ad impressions, your CTR would be 1% (5/500X100).

CPC : Cost-Per-Click is the revenue you earn each time a visitor clicks on your ad. CPC is usually determined by the advertisers. In some competitive niches likefinance, marketing, online products etc. advertisers may be willing to pay more per click than others.

CPM: CPM means “Cost Per 1000 Impressions.”

Sometimes advertisers opt for CPM ads instead of CPC and set their price for 1000 ad impressions. And they pay each time their ads appear on any website.

Let’s Make $100 Everyday With Google AdSense, Right?

For the convenience of calculation we assume that – You serve your AdSense ads on your blog or website, irrespective of showing your ads on your mobile site and added the site search results with AdSense.

Your CTR is 1% and your average CPC is $0.25. It’s quite achievable and lots of bloggers usually get it. We also assume that Page View = Ad Impression for easy calculation. You can manipulate the parameters on your own for desired results.

• To make $100 everyday you need 40,000 Page Views/day Or, 400 Clicks a day @ 1% CTR and $0.25 CPC. For 40,000 Page Views you have to produce 500 awesome articles or blog posts which attract at least 80 or more page views/article everyday.

• Apart from CPC, you will also earn from your CPM ad impressions. Irrespective of any niche, the average CPM earning is $1 to $1.5 per 1,000 impressions. You can make $40 to $60 per day easily from 40,000 page views.

• You can also sell your Ad space directly or via BuySellAds.com and generate $6,000 Per Month on an average from 40,000 page views. Check out how webmasters and bloggers are making $6,000 to $8,000 Per Month from BuySellAds with forty thousand page views per day. So your daily earning will be $200 (6000/30=200).

• A niche blog with high quality articles converts very well with affiliate marketing. You can easily earn $40 to $80/day from affiliate selling with correct implementation and execution.

Now your total earning per day is $100 + $40 + $200 +$40 = $380 from CPC, CPM, Direct Ad Sell, Affiliate Marketing for 40,000 page views per day. I’ve taken the lowest possible earnings from all the 4 sources.

$380 per day means $11,400 per month (380X30= 11,400) Or, $136,800 per year(11,400X12=136,800). Isn’t it a whooping amount to lead a lavish life?

Which is well above your desired earning of $100 per day from Google AdSense, right? 1000s of people are making money by writing articles, and you can also do it. The only thing I want to say is “Be Focused!”

P.S. The above results can be possible if you produce at least 200 to 250 great articles or blog posts per year for 2 years. So how much traffic you actually need to make $100 per day from Google AdSense – It’s way less than 40,000 Page Views Per Day!

How to Change Your IP Address

How Do I Change My IP Address?
There are MANY methods to change your IP address. Some methods will work for you but may not work for someone else and vice versa. We're going to cover how to change your IP address in Windows 2000, XP, 2003, and Vista using command prompt.

What If I Have a Static IP Address?
If your IP is static, then you CAN’T change it without contacting your ISP. Although not impossible, it is very rare that an ISP would assign you a static IP without some sort of increased level of service like a business account. However, an ISP can set a lengthy lease time for your IP address and make it look like you've assigned a static IP. If you have a long lease time (explained in this article) on your IP then you may not be able to change your IP address without leaving your modem or router unplugged for a long period of time (more than 8 hours), or without cloning your MAC address, which I’ll explain later in this article.

It definitely helps if you know how the IP is being assigned to you.

You can read our DHCP definition to get a better understanding.

What Is An IP Address Lease Time?
An IP lease time is the amount of time your ISP determines you’ll be assigned a particular IP. Some IP lease times could be just a couple of hours, where some are set to a few days, and other IP lease times could be set for as long as a year or more. This setting is completely up to your ISP.

One of the easier methods to change your IP address is to turn off your modem/router/computer overnight. Then turn it back on the following morning. This method WILL NOT work if your ISP has a long lease time set for your IP.

The following method will ONLY work if your computer is being assigned your external IP and not a router.

How to determine if your computer is being assigned the external IP.

If your connection is direct to your computer and your computer gets the public IP and not a router, you can try this:
For Windows 2000, XP, and 2003
1. Click Start
2. Click Run
3. Type in cmd and hit ok (this opens a Command Prompt)
4. Type ipconfig /release and hit enter
5. Click Start, Control Panel, and open Network Connections

9. Enter a false IP like 123.123.123.123
10. Press Tab and the Subnet Mask section will populate with default numbers
11. Hit OK twice
12. Right click the active Local Area Connection again and choose Properties
13. Double-click on the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)
14. Choose Obtain an IP address automatically
15. Hit OK twice
16. Go to What Is My IP to see if you have a new IP address

For Vista (Windows 7 is very similar)
1. Click Start
2. Click All Programs expand the Accessories menu
3. In the Accessories menu, Right Click Command Prompt and choose Run as administrator
4. Type ipconfig /release and hit enter
5. Click Start, Control Panel, and open Network and Sharing Center. Depending on your view, you may have to click Network and Internet before you see the Network and Sharing Center icon
6. From the Tasks menu on the left, choose Manage Network Connections
7. Find and Right click on the active Local Area Connection and choose Properties (If you’re hit with a UAC prompt, choose Continue)
8. Double-click on Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)
9. Click on Use the following IP address
10. Enter a false IP like 123.123.123.123
11. Press Tab and the Subnet Mask section will populate with default numbers
12. Hit OK twice
13. Right click the active Local Area Connection again and choose Properties
14. Double-click on Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)

Signup for Payoneer MasterCard snd get $25 Bonus

Payoneer, which is a popular online money transfer service is back in India, after shutting down their operation in India for years. Payoneer used to be one great alternative to PayPal back in the days, as it used to offer Debit card, which can be used for taking out cash from the ATM. This time they have resumed service in India again, with certain limitations as imposed by RBI. Even though, the service is still lucrative, as it makes it easier for Indian bloggers & freelancers to receive payment with fewer transaction fees than Paypal.

Note: You can’t receive payment from Everyone, as Payoneer let you accept Payment in India only from companies which are in their whitelist.

I contacted their customer support with query:

Hey Team
One of my client who is an advertiser on my site is not on your white list. Can I provide him with my U.S bank service number, and he can transfer the money using ACH or Wire transfer??

And the response I got was:

What is Payoneer & how it works?

When you signup for Payoneer, it offers you US and EU Payment Service bank details, you can use it to receive payment directly to your Payoneer account. Every day, Payoneer will directly deposit this amount into your local bank account. You can use Payoneer for ACH transfers in the US or SEPA transfers in the EU.

Whenever you have to receive payment from any U.S. Client or European client, you can share your unique U.S or U.K. payment service detail (You will get this detail  inside your Payoneer account) to receive payment.

When you use Payoneer over PayPal to receive payment, you will save on Forex conversion & transaction fees. Blogger Chitraparna highlighted that she was able to save about $5 when using Payoneer to receive payment instead of PayPal. (See below screenshot)

I wouldn’t say Payoneer as the perfect Paypal alternative, but it’s a great way to receive payment from various companies that are popular among Indian freelancers & bloggers. The biggest benefit is; you will save a notable amount in the transaction.

Note: Payoneer charges $3 for every payment transfer to your bank account. So it’s advisable to use it only for bigger transaction (Great than $75)

My recommendation is for Indian Bloggers, Affiliate Marketers & freelancersto start using Payoneer where ever possible instead of PayPal. You will save a lot in currency conversion & transaction fees. Here are some of the services that you can use for Payoneer:

• Infolinks
• 99 designs
• Amazon.com
• Truelancer
• Clickbank
• Depositphotos
• CPAlead
• eBay
• Elance
• GetttyImages
• GroupOn
• Odesk Corporation
• People Per Hour
• PropellerAds
• Prosperent

• ValueClick

The signup process is simple, and you need to provide your bank details to receive payment as the time of sign-up. Approval can take up to 24 hours, and once approved you can get your U.S & U.K Payment service details.

Get Bonus $25 just for using Payoneer:

Here you got one more reason to start using Payoneer. When you signup for Payoneer & use it for $100 transaction, you will get a bonus of $25 just for using it. This is part of their launch promotion, and I find it lucrative enough for anyone.

Indian bloggers can take advantage of their referral program, as they offer $25 referral bonus when your referred user complete their first $100 transaction.
