You can make money from PayPal

Ironically, there is a way that actually makes sense for the would be salesperson and the merchant to benefit from each other. While most of us have realized just how credit card machines work and don’t think twice about it at the counter, there is yet another way to pay that we may not have considered as an option before: reintroducing PayPal.

PayPal started as a small and innovative company that could help put a digital level of integrity in online transactions. Then, they were bought. Since that time they have made it possible to buy and sell and collect monies online for payments from outlets like eBay, Amazon, and the vast amount of websites and service companies that charge for their products or services online. This of course does not include the infinite number of small businesses that are using the service for their online transactions too.

Despite the obvious though, not too many people are aware that the same convenience that is laid out for them online, can also be accomplished offline by the brick and mortars. These same brick and mortars could have their regular walk in customers pay for their purchases with PayPal. However, most of them are simply not aware of the option or think its only for online businesses. Because of that, PayPal has created a referral program where you can help them sign up merchants; and if they commit, you can receive up to .5% of that merchant’s charges, up to a maximum of $1,000. 

When you consider that you could walk into almost any small business today, and although they already accept Visa, MasterCard, and maybe Amex and Discover; most of them are not aware that they could also accept payments with PayPal. Flower shops, bakeries, day care centers, hair salons, and every other type of small business you can imagine could benefit by signing up for a PayPal Merchant Account. 

Now, you can introduce them to PayPal (sign up is free to them) and make up to $1,000 over the course of their business. You’d be surprised just how quickly you can add another $1,000 to $3,000 a month to your part-time income.

Even though there are some restrictions and the need to read over all the terms and conditions, the program is a wonderful opportunity; especially if you work from home. 

There are a few stealthy people out there doing it already, and they aren’t running out of prospects any time soon.
