How do i get paid?

An important question you should ask yourself before you start your making money adventures online is how do you get paid.

You should consider just about any financial aspect to getting paid from a 3rd party company online, aspects such as:

1. Tax

2. Payment Methods

3. Currency

Tax 

In most countries one must pay an income tax for just about any amount he receives. In a perfect world the amount you are supposed to pay is the amount you will eventually see in your bank account. This world is obviously not perfect.

Payment Methods 

There are practically hundreds of payment methods on the internet. All of them make their living from a commission taken from your commission.

You should investigate prior to choosing your payment method, whether you can use that payment method in your country, whether you can withdraw the funds available to your bank account and the fees that the payment method takes from your funds.

Let’s take PayPal for example: One of the most common payment methods online. Using PayPal you can’t withdraw the funds to your bank account unless you live in the USA or have a US bank account. In addition PayPal takes a very high commission from any transaction of money paid to you. Take that into your consideration.

Currency 

The Dollar value is very low nowadays (unless you live in the USA). This is why you should try and get paid in other currencies such as the Euro or GBP. However, it’s not that simple. If you have a Dollar bank account, receiving Euro money is impossible unless you convert it, and if you forgot to do it on time your payment might be rejected.

These are some of the factors you should consider before you even start to plan your initiative online.

Good luck!
