Alternative payment solution to paypal (part one)

It is no more news that number 1 hurdle (or assumed hurdle) most nigerian internet business opportunity seekers have to scale is how to receive payment online and cash their money here in nigeria. Some people have been trying to find a way to be able to use paypal despite the fact that it is obvious truth that Nigerians are not allow ‘legitimately’ to use paypal.

I know a very good fellow that open paypal account sometimes. How he did it, I don’t know but he was happy he did. I don’t envy him because I can imagine what will happen to such account. Not long ago the account was frozen and he lost few thousands of dollars. So my advice for you is to play wise.

It is not everybody that needs paypal account that wants to use it to receive affiliate commission or pay online. Some internet marketers wants to use it to receive payment for their personal product. If you are in the later group the rest of this article is for you. If you are not and you still want to make money online, then I will advice that you start thinking toward ‘product creation and selling’ internet business model.

What you can’t do with 2checkout:

They don’t have affiliate system like that of clickbank that recruit and pay affiliate for you. With the rate at which they are improving their service they may include the system soon. Ha! that is my personal imagination.

Meanwhile you can still use their system to get your earning for your digital product.
