Paypal in Pakistan? Response to a Friend

Hi,

I just wrote this personal message to a friend from Pakistan, Danish, who said this:

“Bro , Seriously due to unavailability of paypal i am really facing loads of troubles , do you have any alternative which you are using ?”

 

I wrote my answer there, but due to length of the message could not post there, and also I thought many other fellow Pakistani friends will benefit from this so I post this at my blog here:

Danish My Friend you are always welcome.

Yeah you are right Paypal problem we face here… But I use and recommend 2Co as this solves about 80% problem, i mean with 2Co you can receive payments from customers who want to pay though Credit Cards as well as also from the customers who want to pay from their Paypal account balance!

As i said this does not solve 100% problem as still you have no means to use those funds online, until they get into your Local Bank Account.. So we cannot make payments online as we could have made through our
Paypal account…for this i recommend to get hold of Credit Card, of yours or someone in your family who can trust you , and you can trust him/her!

Also if you have digital product and you want to tap into Affiliates market, you have also Clickbank there…to handle your Payments, and payments to affiliates!!!

MAN it used to be hard in the days when 2Co Would not accept
Paypal…

(Also download the report from there i wrote once for friends like you
facing NON-Paypal problem -)

Note: Above post/report was written before clickbank was available in Pakistan,,
but now as clickbank is in Pakistan…i suggest to use Clickbank for Affiliates
and not 2Co’s very limited affiliate program.

and when Clickbank would not allow Pakistan

…but now you have both!!!
ClickBank in Pakistan WoW! | Mohsin Rasool

You see we are making progress… so do not worry and keep working on your Goals you are going to make more than thousands who have Paypal account but have not made money online due to inaction or no work!

Wish you best there, hope this gives you some ideas,
Mohsin Rasool
PS. Oh I wanted to share this with you:

I used to earn very less money , say only Adsense…
And used to think and focus on the problem that how sad
i have no PayPal , no clickbank…

Then One day a very great friend of mine from Singapore, Ameer Salim,
said this:

“Mohsin do not focus on problems (Paypal) focus on opportunity (2Co!)”

That day was the turning point, as I said OK , No Paypal NO Problem!!!
I am going to sell and I am going to use 2Co..After all they are multi Million Dollar
company,,, why cannot they process my first Million Dollar :)

Then I started to offer services and some products and it really has become my
integral part of bi-weekly income…yeah 2Co sends weekly/Bi-Weekly your money
directly to your bank.

So Danish I recommend you go with 2Co and forget about Paypal problem for now.
When you have made some stuff, you will have some great friends here online.
And if you must need some payment to be received through Paypal you can ask
your friend to accept that payment on your behalf. But your sales system should
be fine with 2Co as they are going to take payment for you from all non-paypal and paypal buyers.

Oh live by revenge LOL…i mean if Paypal says : No Pakistani… Say: NO WAY! NO PAYPAL! … hahah Paypal Sucks! This will make you feel great and really this
will FREE you from the thought of absence of Paypal as disadvantage to you!
http://www.paypalsucks.com/ :) – Now sometime I joke ,No it is not Paypal which does not accept Pakistan, but it is Pakistan which does not accept Paypal . HAHAHAHA!

Have a Great day! Let me know if you have any question in this regard.. I will update this post or reply in comments.

Google Apps – Future Of Business Communication

Google Apps is one of the best invention in the history as far as business communication is concerned. It offers everything you need. It has all the scalability your business ever is going to need. And It has no user manual for users and no training course to use as it is THAT easy.

Are you using Google Apps for your online business? I hate the standard email packages which comes with any hosting account. I always wanted to use GMAIL for my business communications but sometime customers do not like the fact that some business is using FREE email address like you@gmail.com .. BUT it all changed…

Yeah with Google Apps you can have backend which is built on GMAIL , but in the front-end you could have you@yourdomain.com and so on! So you enjoy the both worlds!

I suggest you take a look at Google Apps today if you have not considered it before. For a business with up to 50 users it is free. So for a small business online with few employees this is not going to cost you a cent! Check out Google Apps here.

How a Website is Created Online Exactly – Part -1

In offline world with my potential clients and friends (in Pakistan) I get this question a lot. Believe me this is very hard to explain as I have forgot the basics and I do not realize sometime that how hard it was for me to understand all of this stuff when i get started…

Today I am going to explain very general overview of a Website, its component and its stages of development and essentials. First of all let me start with three main components of a Website:

  1. Domain Name – A Name like www.YourDomain.com (You Buy it!)
  2. Hosting – Some space on a server which is 24/hours linked to internet. (You Rent it!)
  3. Webpages – Yeah the Real Website, the pages which you want to show there.

Then we have about three stages of building a website or creating webpages like:

  1. Design – Drafting and Finalizing the design of your website, the template
  2. Development – Creation of webpages using the design and code
  3. Testing and Uploading the finalized web pages to your web host.

Let’s talk more about components of a website:

Domain Name

Domain name is your website’s internet address. Just like your cell phone number it is address which is linked to your website so that whenever access that address in his browser your website is shown to him.

In technical sense, you know every computer on internet is linked to the Network through an IP…forget about it…i cannot explain this for now..sometime later..for now remember this is your website’s unique name just like your own cell phone number. You need to register this with a domain name registrar just like you do register/buy your cell phone number from a cellular company.

No there are no FREE domain names! You have to pay registration fee every year..it can cost you about Rs. 800 to Rs. 1000 per year (about $10) depending on the registrar you are using.

Yes sometime someone will offer you a free domain but you have to buy hosting or website services from them that is how they make money otherwise if they simply give away free domain names they have gone out of business in one week!

I Want a Personal Website & I do not have money to invest – I want everything free so does website domain name!!! Well for you my dear friend of college, first of all good luck with your studies. I am proud of you to see expanding your presence online. For you i recommend some free sub-domain!

Sub-Domains are Part of existing domains and companies can offer your free sub-domains at their websites. Like I own this domain www.Rboq.com , I can offer unlimited sub-domains to anyone , their domain name would be like this: for a friend with name Asad, it could be www.asad.rboq.com or in a correct way it would be http://asad.rboq.com

If you are serious in having online website i recommend own domain name. But if you just want a free ride for now, i suggest to get some free sub-domain with any reputable host online. For example Note: I have googled for some good sub-domain offers and sorry i could not find any legitimate so far…but here is best deal for you..go for latest model of website called BLOG :)

What is a Blog – Blog is just like a website in basic sense. It has everything in it for you to start with zero cost. You can have your blog live in one hour there are some of the big players online offering free, legitimate blogs. For Example Google’s Blogger or WordPress.com . How to create your own blog with Blogger or WordPress I will post about it in my next post, Insha Allah.

Ok what if you have credit card in hand, and ready to shell $10 for your great domain name right now, i suggest you buy through NameCheap , they are one of the best domain registrars online. I have registered and managed with them my own 50+ domain names and also many many domains of our clients are registered with them.

For now that is all, In next part I would share with you about hosting and then building a website… Stayed tuned!

Regards,

Mohsin Rasool
