Are you a blogger and want to make money from your blog? Then one of the first things you need(aside from blog and a readership) is PayPal account.
Why You Should Have A PayPal Account
PayPal is the most used Payment method online. You should register for PayPal because:
- Security: PayPal is secure and it also protects your credit/debit card info and bank account info. Let’s suppose if you want to pay someone online, you have to share credit card details(usually) and a little security hole may cost you a lot! With PayPal, you never have to share your credit card details. Just link it once to the PayPal account and it’s done.
- Speed: PayPal lets you pay faster. As I said in last point, you don’t have to enter credit card details again and again! Just remember PayPal password and email address and you are done!
- Versatility: PayPal doesn’t hold you from paying people in other countries. You can pay in any of the supported currencies easily. If you want to pay someone in Euros, your dollars will be automatically converted to Euros according to latest exchange rates!
- Users: PayPal has lot of users and most of the online workers and employees use it. Most e-commerce sites will accept it and almost every digital product can be baught with PayPal. And then, most ad networks(sadly, AdSense does not) pay via PayPal.

Precautions
Once you have registered for PayPal, make sure to keep following precautions in mind(because everything’s not perfect! And so is PayPal!)
- Password: Make sure to keep your password secure as in the hands of wrong person, it can be very dangerous. And if you have added a credit card, he will have access to it too(although indirectly!).
- Scam Mails: There are many scammers who will try to get your personal details via mail. It is best to be aware of such frauds. If you use GMail, activating authentication icons feature in labs should help.
