How and Why PayPal made my Life Easy? How to receive payments easily while freelancing?

Hi guys,

I have been blogging since 8 years now and have my own domain since 6.5-7 years. I shifted to my own server/hosting since more than 3 years now. All payments related to my blog domain/hosting, etc. have been made through PayPal. 

As a freelancer it has become difficult to receive payments and have a trust worthy mode of receiving payments. Many people are now looking at freelancing as a career and many of them seem to be new to taking it up as a career with less than 5 years in experience. A recent study show that 4 in 5 free lancers get international work from US, UK and Australia. It is essential to have a trusted and fast mode of receiving payments especially for work that has been done internationally.

I have been using PayPal since 2011 and I prefer to receive all my international payments through PayPal. If you are a freelancer, you have obviously heard about PayPal and might be using it too. It’s so easy to raise invoices and request payment for your services, on PayPal.

I have my own PayPal.Me link which I share with my clients to get paid. I simply send my PayPal.Me link with the requested amount to get paid. With PayPal making its foray into India, I can now receive payments from both Indian and International customers.

As a freelancer, I can now receive payments in Rupees and 26 other currencies across the globe. With PayPal Seller
Protection Policy, I also feel a lot more secure about doing business with clients who I’ve not met
directly since I can trust PayPal to cover me from online frauds and chargebacks.

One of the things that I really like about PayPal is that I can use it to not only receive payments but also shop across the globe securely. Whether its booking a ticket at BookMyShow for a movie or buying apparels from a relatively unknown international site, I know that with PayPal, my transactions are secure.

I can’t imagine using any other payment method for my international purchases, and I shop internationally a lot!

Irregular payments and lack of payment/frauds are the no. 1 issue freelancers like me face. A platform like PayPal makes sure you get your payments. It’s quick and easy, secure and reliable.

The best thing is it’s quick and easy to set up your PayPal account and link your card/bank to it. PayPal makes it easy for your client to pay you, even if they’ve never met you. I definitely recommend PayPal to everyone whether it’s for buying something or getting paid for your services, I have already helped a few set up their account 😀 So, PayPal has definitely helped me a lot as a freelancer.

If you’re a freelancer, try PayPal and get going. Your clients internationally trust PayPal. So should you. To sign up for a freelancer account, click here
