Your first step: Payment Processors

Now that I’ve gotten you charged up to start earning money in your free time, here is the first thing you have got to do. You will need to sign up to an online payment processor.

I’ve mentioned about this in the intro. Now let me answer some questions that might, or should appear in your mind.

1. What in the world is a payment processor?

In a nutshell, this is like an online bank account. Unlike regular bank accounts, however , these banks will not give you an interest, but will only let you store your money online .

From this site the money is going to be sent to you by check.

2. Why would I want to sign up for such a site?

Because, although some sites send you the money by check, 90 per cent of the sites will send the payment through a payment processor. In fact, most sites will ask you to give your address of the processor while you sign up .

So, your first step would be signing up for a site.

3. Okay, okay. Which sites do I sign up for now?

There are a very large number of such sites. The biggest one is Paypal, but although it is safe and all, to sign up it asks for your credit card number, and many of us do not have a credit card. Furthermore , most of the PTC sites do not use Paypal to pay.

Therefore, I would suggest you to join Alertpay. Just click the word , or the banner to sign up. It’s free .

4. Why Alertpay ? Why not something else?

Because , I have looked through dozens of pay sites ,and most of them pay through Alertpay. Other sites include Moneybookers and Egold, but the sites which I will cover here will mostly pay through Alertpay.

To sum up, just sign up for Alertpay, and then join the PTC sites I’ll cover in the posts that follow.
