Many people are now working online. Even those who are not
fully working on the internet, a part time job can help you increase your
earnings and maybe help you buy that dream house you have always wanted. Or is
it a car? Whatever the case, having at least two incomes can help you save for
something big you want to do. It is very hard to succeed just by doing one
thing.
The first question I get when I tell people that they can
make money online is ‘how do I get paid?’ Fair question I would say. Some of
the major payment processors like Paypal don’t pay to Kenya. Of course nowadays
you can get your money via Equity Bank or even Nation Hela, it however takes
time. 2-5 days in most cases. Sometimes you can even wait for eight days. If
you work hard for your money, real time payments are the way to go. Finish the
job or sell a product and you have your money already. That is how good
services work.
I have been using Payoneer to process my online payments and
so far I love the service. Getting paid from top U.S. companies is a breeze. If
you have ever used freelancer.com, Elance, Odesk, Apple, Amazon, PayPal, Skrill
(MoneyBookers) etc. you are going to love the Payoneer Debit MasterCard. It
just makes payment processing a breeze. It is not just for your payments alone.
If you ever wanted to pay another person, you can do so easily with the card.
Once you apply for the card, it should take 2-3 weeks to
arrive. ATM cards for local banks take roughly the same time. The card will be
sent to your postal address so you should ensure that you provide a real one.
Postal addresses in Kenya start with P.O Box and are different from a physical
address which is where you live. Always use a postal address to ensure your
card is delivered with no problems.
Once your card has been delivered then you can use it to
process your payments globally. Getting your money is as easy as visiting an
ATM card with a MasterCard sign. I am sure any bank worth its name in Kenya has
a partnership with MasterCard. I personally use PesaPoint as their ATMs don’t
swallow cards. A Payoneer card is the best card for online payments and once
you get one you won’t want to lose it.
Even better than withdrawing your money using the card is
shopping with it. You swipe free! If you wanted money to buy a fridge for
example, just use your card to pay for your item at the many MasterCard points
of sale throughout the country. Again nearly all major supermarkets and even
the not so major ones accept MasterCard.
Online payments have never been this easy before and this is
a chance for every Kenyan to make money online. Don’t just say there are no
jobs. You can work for somebody a continent away from you and still use the
money in Kenya.
