How To Avoid PayPal Fees by using Mass Payment

How To Avoid PayPal Fees by using Mass Payment

May 9, 2011 in Business by Olgi Zenullari

If you send and receive frequently money via PayPal, chances are you are losing a lot of money on fees. If you are a business / premier account holder there’s a legal solution on how you can avoid PayPal fees (you will spend only $1 no matter how much you send, even $10,000).

To be honest I had to send a large amount of money to a friend of mine via PayPal and the fees would eat up like $150 so after I did some research I found the so called method of “Mass Payments”

Here’s an explanation directly from PayPal about mass payments

PayPal’s Mass Payment feature allows anyone with a Premier or Business account to send multiple payments instantly – saving time, money and hassle.Your recipients pay nothing to receive payments. You pay a low transaction fee of 2% for each payment, capped at $1 per payment. So if someone is lucky enough to receive a $10,000 payment from you, your payment fee is only $1. And because you save money on postage, stationery, and the time it takes to mail checks, Mass Payments could help reduce your running costs.

How To Use Mass Payment option?

After you login into your account and you click on “Send Payment” there’s an sub-menu with the option “Make a Mass Payment”

To be able to continue you should upload a file which contains the appropriate information like to whom you are sending the money, the amount, the currency and so on.  So open notepad and write something as shown below:

 

So if you are looking to send $5,000 us dollars to someone thats how it should look like (keep in mind that those spaces are created by using the TAB button, also known as tab delimited)

Lastly save your file (.txt) and then upload in into PayPal, if you have done it correctly you should see something as below:

 

 

Make sure you already have the available balance in your account to proceed with the payment. As you can see the fee paid for transferring $5.000,00 USD is only $1

How To Unlock iPhone 4 (Any Baseband)

in General by Olgi Zenullari

I purchased a couple of months ago iPhone 4 and unfortunately it was carrier-locked (which means you could only use it with the carrier you bought the iPhone from). I was told to wait a couple of weeks as the iphone dev team would release the unlock however after waiting like 2 months I was really fed up (there are people out there who are still waiting for their iPhone to unlock)

After reading daily all the news related to unlocking iPhone and so on, I heard about Gevey SIM, which is a hardware type of solution for unlocking your iphone. I purchased it on eBay for like $30 and had it delivered in less than 7 days. Magically after following the instructions I could easily use my iPhone without any problems at all

So if you have been waiting for a long time to get your iPhone unlocked, I would recommend gevey sim as an alternative, at least it works and you its worth the $30

My Unlocked iPhone 4

 

Before a month or so the price was around $75 excluding shipping however I just checked AppleNBerry.com and they were selling the gevey sim for as low as $35. The only thing with AppleNBerry is that they do not ship in the whole world so if you are unlucky (like me) and your country is not listed I would suggest to purchase from eBay

Become a Domain Name Reseller

Become a Domain Name Reseller

April 18, 2011 in Domain Names by Olgi Zenullari

I’f you’re in the domain names industry you should definitely have your own domain name reseller account. Not only you can keep all your domains in one place but you can also sell to other interested parties. Before a couple of years I wanted to have my own domain name reseller account however most of the biggest companies required  a large upfront deposit. After hours of research I came across NEO (NetEarthOne) and to be honest I was amazed by their pricing. After reading some reviews I was confident they were the real deal and signed up instantly.

$400 Bonus

At the time I signed up they were offering a $400 signup bonus from which I jumped directly on second tier. This was a great incentive because you could register domain names for as low as $7.79 and the best part is that you were getting (you still get) free whois protection (on other companies you have to pay up to $2 for that)

24 / 7 Support

You can find the phrase “24 / 7 support” on many online businesses however, NEO is really keeping their promise when they say 24 /7. An excellent support staff which is there anytime you need it. Whether you have a problem at 2:00 AM in the morning or on a Saturday evening, there will always be someone there waiting for you

Easy Management & Interface

When dealing with hundreds (or even thousands) of domain names and clients, you should definitely find what you are looking for as quickly as possible. At Net Earth one they use Logicbox platform (the new beta version rocks!!) which is really easy to use. You can set your domain name prices accordingly, see your costumers, check your finances and much much more. Here’s a screenshot how everything looks like:

If you are located in Europe you can easily change the currency to Euro, make sure your merchant account or credit card is in Euro too in order not to lose money every time from the exchange rate

Conclusion

I always prefer writing a conclusion at the end of each article and the conclusion this time is obvious. If you are an online marketer / agency / webmaster or whatever you will definitely need your own domain reseller account in which you will easily manage your domains in one single place

 

 

The Power of Exact Match Domains

March 17, 2011 in Domain Names, SEO by Olgi Zenullari

I often get asked on how important is a domain name and to be honest, with all my latest projects, I’ve chosen exact match domains and the results have been incredible. In this article I will outline some of the key factors on why should you use an exact domain name for your next affiliate site

What is an Exact Match Domain?

As it can clearly be understood from the name, an exact match domain is a domain which contains the exact primary keyword you are targeting in the domain name. For example if your niche is golf and you are targeting “golf courses” keyword then the exact match domain would be golfcourses.com / golfcourses.net / or any other combination

Awesome, so I’m going to register GolfCourse.im (Isle of Man) and dominate all the search engines hence becoming a millionaire overnight … erm thats not right, the first reason being that the extension (.im) is a cctld (country code top level domain) which cannot be compared with the potential of the top level domain names

What domain name extension to use?

Search Engines are changing their algorithms quite often hence you have to keep up with the latest updates and find out yourself whats working best for you however, right now, the most successful domain name extensions I’ve reached top rankings in Google are in the following order

  1. .COM
  2. .ORG
  3. .NET

Wait a minute, there’s no .info right? You are right, to be honest I haven’t been able to get too much Google love for my .INFO domain names and that is commonly connected with the fact that lately, since .INFO’s are so damn cheap they’ve been used mostly in spamming / scrapping sites with no actual value or whatsoever

No more exact match domains left?

While it is true that the best exact match domains (.com / .net / .org) have already been grabbed, you can always use hyphens (golf-courses) and if thats gone already,  I would recommend you to do another research and make sure not to broaden your search, focus on one particular niche and get hundreds of keywords, analyze them and decide which one is the proper one

Proof or it didn’t happen!

Usually I never disclose my niches for obvious reasons, let me tell you that exactly yesterday I launched a new site (my good old pal Tycho can verify it) and in no more than 24 hours my site is ranked on second page of Google for a keyword with a volume search of 25,000 exact match searches per month and a competition of 6 million sites! Impressive eh? Well, not for me, because that’s what you get when you combine an exact domain name with the super charged WordPress platform

Conclusion

Exact Domains are the biggest trend right now, if you haven’t already noticed then you’ve been missing a good opportunity to rank higher and higher. Note that all of my sites (as this one) use WordPress platform with some incredible seo plugins, it just makes a lot easier to control / maintain everything

 

Stay Away From iContact Email Marketing Company

March 9, 2011 in Business by Olgi Zenullari

If you ask any successful Internet Marketer, they will all tell you the same thing, “money is on the list” and that was my intention when I firstly joined iContact. To tell you the truth they have a very easy to use interface and everything works quite nicely. The real trouble starts when you want to cancel your account so in this article you are going to learn about my bad experience with iContact

First of all, which is very wrong, is the fact that you cannot cancel your account online, but you have to call their support (this means an extra expense for you) and pray someone picks up the phone. I seriously called them more than 4 times and only today I spoke with a lady from their support staff

I told her that my credit card was billed 3-4 consecutive months and I didn’t even use their system, I tried to contact them but no one picked up the phone and still I was being billed for a service I didn’t use. She gently responded that to cancel my account I would have to speak with another department (Cancellation Department, wtf!? they have a department just for cancellations, seems they are getting tons of calls) and they were out of the office so  I had to contact them tomorrow. She gave me a reference number that I had to show to them in order for verification process and so on … pffff

While she was checking my info (not to mention she asked me more than 7 times for my username because apparently she couldn’t hear it right) I asked her why should someone cancel an account by phone when he/she can cancel it online with no such obstacles and her response was really naive: “We do it for protection, we need a verbal approval just in case someone accesses your account and deletes your account without your knowledge” … I stopped for a moment and then I asked her whether I would get a refund and she replied that she was sorry (she really seemed so) but unfortunately the policy of the company said it was not possible to

So if you are here and desperately looking for a good email marketing company which won’t eat your money and which will make your life easier, look no further, sign up for AWEBER (you can thank me later on)
