Enough of this paypal nonsense!
In response to my article title “It is time to march forward” I received the message from one of my subscriber. Here is copy of his message.
Re: March your way to success!
Dear Rich Kid,
Its a great pleasure that you are concerned about my internet breakthrough but i have been finding it difficult to access some their payment option cos I am not have paypal account or credit card(there is no US address or phone number I can use to open the required information.
Please, kindly help me out with this .
I shall be looking forward to hearing from you.
Yours Sincerely
DS (senders name abrevated for a purpose)
Now here is my response:
Let me first list out points from above question:
Paypal account
Credit card
USA address
Int’l phone number
Let us start with the credit card. Credit card shouldn’t be problem for nigerians that want to buy anything online ‘provided legitimate’ with the service that is available from most local banks. I have been using mastercard prepaid credit card that I got from zenithbank nigeria for months now. I have used the card to made lots of payments in the past. I even used it in making high ticket payment. i.e buying packages that worth over $2,000. I uses the card to register domain name online. Most nigerian banks are now in partnership with Visa Card and Mastercard int’l now. So this is not issue now. There are other alternatives like fastecash and graphcard.
However, I understand some people may have problem using this card through some nigerians internet service providers like multilinks and starcomms. But their is a way to go about this. You can use proxy service in this case provided what you want to do is legitimate.
It is not a must you have USA address or phone number however if it is necessary you have either you can contact fastecash or graphcard.
Now paypal.com - should inability to use paypal account ‘legitimately’ be obstacle to your internet business as a nigeria?
My answer is - absolutely NO.
See it is not a must you have paypal account if you understand internet marketing fundamentals. It is not only nigerians that paypal did not allow to use their service ‘legally’. There are marketers in those other countries that are not allowed as well. I know some of this guys. They earn over $50,000 a month using internet and they don’t have paypal account. I don’t have paypal account as well and I am doing as much. So you don’t really have any excuse.
Whether paypal accept nigerians or not there are several ways we can earn nice income using internet technology legitimately.
(Note: I said legitimately because some nigerians have been able to find a way around using it. But the only truth is that paypal did not allow nigerian.)
I know this will generate lots of reactions. Just post your comment here. We can debate it.

olagunju kabir ayo said,
March 3, 2008 @ 12:50 pmThanks for your explanation,but we still need further explanation.Is there any other payment solution except credit card and paypal.well done
Dennis said,
March 3, 2008 @ 12:56 pmWell Lateef, i think Mr Akin Alabi has the answer to the question. For those who desire to have their paypal account created for them in London should contact akin on
alabiakinola@yahoo.com ,for more info on payment options after which account will be created within 48 hours after payment confirmation.
Rich Kid said,
March 3, 2008 @ 2:05 pmNoel John, I have been sharing that with my close subscribers for some time in closed in hourse training. I have even offer it as a FREE training to those that care to attend.
Others we will still discuss what paypal is all about. Because I have discover that some people did not even know how they affect their business because using it as excuse for not taking action.
Dennis, I have already contact Mr Alabi. Hopefully, we should read his post here soon.

Dairo Adesola said,
March 3, 2008 @ 2:23 pmHi rich kid methinks you have to further expantiate on this PAYPAL thing i also wanted advice on how to go about with payments on the net without the fore mentioned “Whether paypal accept nigerians or not there are several ways we can earn nice income using internet technology legitimately.” . So what are these other internet techs involved?. thanks
OJO, Samuel Ola said,
March 3, 2008 @ 2:33 pmThanks so much Lateef for your explanation on paypal and clickbank. I think this ‘oyibo’people are just placing unnecessary blocks in the way of Nigerians to make it online nonetheless some Nigerian amongst whom you are have broken the jinx.
I hit the glad news about how one can access Master Card through Zenith Bank while chatting on igoldforum.a short while ago. I have tried it and it’s so simple tohave. Anyone can get Master Card through the Zenith Bank, I am confirmingit to any doubter.
How can those of us resident outside Lagos can benefit from the Thursday weekly training programme. I personally love you and your programmes but for the location.
Rich Kid said,
March 3, 2008 @ 5:03 pmDenis what that means is just that without paypal you can do business online. If you join affiliate program there are several affiliates that pay with check and other online user to user money transfer means. However, if you sell products you can use service like 2checkout to receive payments and 2checkout have several means of sending you your money.
As for other ideas, we’ve been sharing that through internet marketing nigerians’ seminar and events.
Mr Ojo Samuel, Ola - thank you very much for confirming the use of local cards. You can enjoy the weekly thursday check in programme anytime you are in lagos.
Sunday said,
March 3, 2008 @ 5:56 pmThanks for the info. How ever there are other service one can use to receive payment. They are free and some you pay a fee.
NaijaMotivation said,
March 3, 2008 @ 6:37 pmLateef,
Great post here.
A lot of people place unnecessary obstacles on their ways and these stop them from taking the necessary action.
I have told so many Paypal is not the ultimate but it seems they NEVER believe my message to them. May be they will believe you sha. 
Keep up the great work man.

March 3, 2008 @ 6:44 pmSir
your post is great . i was thinking like the guy that ask you the question YOU answer. i am really going to move forward now. no usa address,no paypal i still will move forward
Rich Kid said,
March 3, 2008 @ 7:38 pmMy Moderator, honestly I know its not going to be easy but it’s we will continue to say the truth even when some may not want to listen.
Akemi I like your courage. You give it a try. When you need support contact us.

adewale lawal said,
March 4, 2008 @ 6:59 amHi Lateef
I think this issue of paypal and other online payments is really giving newbies like me some sleepless night.The web
surfer mastercard from zenith bank you advised me to go for is not working
for me too.Please,lets find a lasting solution to this
problem.
Dickson Stephen said,
March 4, 2008 @ 7:13 amHi Rich Kid, Since you said there is no problem using a paypal. what can someone do when a paypal is required.
Lateef Olajide said,
March 4, 2008 @ 9:12 amDickson, you don’t do anything. You just let it go. Do something else. Alternatively, if you have a trusted fellow at the ‘other end’ there you can seek his/her assistance. I have two of my US friends that have been doing this for me for over 3yrs now.
However, if you are the one that want people to be able to pay you with their paypal that is possible. All you need is 2checkout account. They have paypal feature which will make it easy for people to pay you with their paypal.
ben said,
March 4, 2008 @ 6:09 pmyes.i have read a post where someone wrote thatyou can get paypal acccount verified with a usa address.
deepo said,
March 4, 2008 @ 6:24 pmcan you pls give more details about this zenith card stuff. i.e the charges and the likes.
internetpope said,
March 4, 2008 @ 6:40 pmmen! great posts here. i am really awed! i have a paypal also thru graphcard and also use thier credit card. NO PROBLEMO HERE.
Rich Kid said,
March 5, 2008 @ 8:39 amDeepo kindly visit http://www.zenithbank.com check web surfer link.
Oluwatoyin Omotoso said,
March 5, 2008 @ 9:04 amI believe the first thing you have to solve is knowing the kind of internet business you want to go into.
If it is an affiliate business, you do not need paypal,clickbank or a US address and bank account.
However if you want to sell online, you can use 2checkout and plimus.com
Concerning credit card payments,This is the first time I am hearing that credit cards from Nigerian banks are been accepted and I think lateef should do us good by giving more info about how to go about this.
deepo said,
March 8, 2008 @ 2:55 pmi have gotten zenith’s web surfer card.
its really easy.
but i tried it online and on the site , there was no nigeria in the options where i want to buy from.
what can i do.
Rich Kid said,
March 8, 2008 @ 7:13 pmDeepo that is good. Can you please tell us which site? You can email it to me if you don’t want to make it public.
Thank you very much Oluwatoyin.
olufade gbenga said,
March 9, 2008 @ 10:39 pmInfact i will like more information on this because most of the online business around especially making money getting online job writing declare that they only pays through paypal only infact i get frustrated about this.need to know more about the zenithbank payment card.
Rich Kid said,
March 10, 2008 @ 2:57 pmGbenga, It is true that most online job writing service pay only through paypal. But the question is how many people have even had success with this companies.
If you know how to write their is a better way to get paid for your effort.
1. You can target your audience directly and determine how they pay you. If you want to be writing on ‘home improvement’ why not target home improvement website and contact owners of the website directly. You can get site owners that will send you money through western union.
2. Alternatively, you can write articles in numbers. Say 1 to 20 and sell them as package to PLRarticles sites owners. Or offer it as a plr package yourself. If you sell to plrpackages site owners they can pay you through western union. But if you want to sell the plr package yourself you may need account like 2checkout to receive your payment.
This are just my quick tip. I still have more ways to maximize your writing skills.

kenny said,
March 11, 2008 @ 8:02 pmhi,i think we should find a way of by passing paypal.The only way i use to get into paypal is through Graphcard.You only need to apply online in their site and then activate IT at GTBank.they wil give you a virtual address which you can use to open apaypal account and start doing your Biz.
Latee you a doing a wonderful job.sky is the starting point of your success.Pls,dont relent your effort,God is surely watching you.Thanks

Ernest said,
March 25, 2008 @ 12:20 pmIn response to the posting about the paypal account issue,I think it’s not a matter of alternative to paypal the answer,I beleive what the guy is trying to say is that one can still make good money online in nigeria here if one have a good product or service to offer! Although,am not saying his mind.

Rich Kid said,
March 27, 2008 @ 9:24 am1. Yes. You only use debit or prepaid card to by online.
2. Yes if the card is linked to your bank.
3. It depends but most often you can only use your card to buy e-gold from somebody else to add to your e-gold account.

What are you receiving payment for? Are you selling products (digital/physical)? or are you an affiliate marketer.
Lateef
Naijaecash said,
July 5, 2008 @ 11:15 amThis is nice. I agree totally that non acceptance of Nigerians by PayPal is not an excuse not to do business online. There are other means of earning income legitimately without the use of PayPal. For example, ALERTPAY is a good alternative and they accept Nigerians.
Please, this is not to say that doing business online without PayPal is easy, that will be self-deception. Cheers.
Rich Kid’s response:
You are right my brother.
Doing business online without paypal might seems uneasy. But it depends on the way we are looking at it.

thanks
Joe said,
September 21, 2008 @ 4:23 pmThis post is interesting. The truth is without paypal it is extremely difficult to do online business. Paypal is a company owned by ebay and the largest payment processor in the world. Anyone who is serious about doing business online need a paypal account. I was able to open an account only when I travelled to South Africa. So that is one way of getting the problem. But then not everyone can afford to travel outside the country just to open a paypal account. It is sad that countries like Niger and Benin Republic are listed on Paypal but Nigeria is not.
Yes Rich Kid is right about using 2CO I am not too sure about affiliate merchants in USA sending checks because one of them told me bluntly that there was no way he could send a check to Nigera….Our 419 brothers has done us lots of damage…
Olurotimi said,
September 22, 2008 @ 3:30 pmDear Internet Marketing Nigeria,
I am new to your site. I got to know of it in google, the Paypal Article caught my attention.
I been reading some advert recently where the advertisers claim they can help you get a Paypal account linked with a Nigerian Bank, and i wonder if this is possible or just one of those scams. As a reliable source, i would like to know if it is possible to open a Paypal account and link it with a Nigerian Bank account.
Thanks.
Joe said,
September 29, 2008 @ 6:00 pmI am not sure this is possible…very likely another scam. Paypals privacy statement is clear on this. Moreover paypal accounts are linked to credit cards and not specific banks. If the adveriser Olurotimi saw claims to do this for a fee, then run with ya money! paypal account services are free.

November 14, 2008 @ 1:58 pmSteve - forget the idea of opening paypal account in nigeria. SIMPLE. At least for now.

March 3, 2008 @ 10:54 amThanks for your explanation on the use of credit card that is now possible in Nigeria.
But I am surprise that while telling us that there are several ways to earn money on the internet without a paypal, you did not go further to explain those ways.
I don’t think your subscribe will be satisfied with this explanation particularly on the alternative use of paypal.
please I will like to know the other ways to earn money with a paypal.
Thanks
