Freelance Writing Online - PayPal is a Must!
If you don't have a PayPal account and you want to be a freelance writer, one of the first things you should do is get one! PayPal makes online payment easy, and offers a certain security. Also, once you get familiar with doing repeat work for a client, they may want to pay you directly, and getting the PayPal payment directly means a lot less off the top then if you get it through an auction site, then through Paypal.
Associated Content and Constant Content both make payments via PayPal. This makes it necessary if you're going to get any type of income from these sites, both of which are excellent sites for online freelance writers to help supplement an income.
In addition, I've had some jobs where people living overseas (usually involved in a tourist industry) wanted me to write articles, and the easiest form of payment was via PayPal. Even as I hung up full time freelancing for a great full time writing job, I still earn about $20-40 a week via PayPal freelancing, and that's not including the "visitor bonus" that Associated Content offers. Nothing like $10-$40 a month for work you finished months ago!
It doesn't sound like much, but when I never withdraw my excess PayPal earnings, and have it in a MoneyMarket account that's paying over 5% annually (and pays out every month) as of this writing, a year from now that will be my Scotland trip!
Having a PayPal account also makes it easy to find good freelancing books on eBay, to receive quick payment from employers, and takes away the worry of wondering when the check will get there, will it clear, because once that money's in your account, it's not going anywhere.
PayPal accounts are completely free to set up. If you have a checking account, you can start a PayPal account. It's very easy. To any beginning freelance author, you definitely will want a PayPal account to increase business, and even make some extra off the interest on the side! The past year has been 4-6% returns, paid out monthly.
If you're looking to write online, you definitely want a PayPal account.
And as a freelance writer who started out of desperation doing everything wrong, I love to help others make it as a writer faster and less painfully than I did. Please feel free to visit me at http://www.squidoo.com/howtobeafreelancewriter for free tips, advice, and places to sell your work online.
