Payoneer Review
Is Payoneer good for freelancers and affiliate marketers? Find out in my hands-on Payoneer debit card review
We'll cover how it works, what are the fees, and other important details that are easy to miss at first glance.
If you’re a freelancer or affiliate marketer like me, you’ve probably got enough to do right now — so let’s get on with it.
What is the Payoneer MasterCard Debit Card?
Payoneer MasterCard Debit Card: Facts
I’ll start off with the basics in case you’re not sure how Payoneer works. As their name implies, Payoneer are true ‘pioneers’ in the Payoneer global payment processor sector and there isn’t an easy comparison to be made between Payoneer and other services like it.
To save you time figuring it all out, here's what they can do for you.
What is Payoneer?
Payoneer is a global payment processor similar to PayPal which promises a safe and affordable online payment solution for international freelancers, affiliate marketers, and others who make money online and need to get paid in their home country.
The Payoneer prepaid MasterCard works like any other re-loadable MasterCard prepaid debit card that you can get at your local bank branch, though it isn't a typical local debit card account.
Here's a quick summary of how the card works.
What do you get with the Payoneer MasterCard debit card?
- A physical MasterCard prepaid debit card.
- An online account linked to your MasterCard card which you can use to view your balance and transaction history, as well as manage your account and personal details.

How can you use it?
- You can receive credit/debit card payments from anyone with Visa or MasterCard, from anywhere in the world. This service comes with a small processing fee per payment, and the maximum amount you can receive from a single credit card payment is $1000.
- You can receive Direct Deposit payments from US-based companies such as Amazon and PayPal through Payoneer’s US Payment Service. The transaction fee for using the US Payment Service is 1% of the total amount transferred. You’ll then get paid directly onto your card, rather than having to wait for an international check and paying exorbitant clearing fees on your earnings.
- You can receive online payments in USD from Payoneer-approved partners (for example: Elance, Fiverr, MediaWhiz, Media Shakers, and dozens more). Receiving payments this way is free for most partners and takes two days to load, although you can also pay an extra $2.50 if you need the cash within 1-2 hours of requesting it.
- You can pay for goods and services online as well as in brick-and-mortar stores. It has the convenience of a credit card for online payments, with the beauty of a prepaid debit card since you cannot spend more money than you have in your account - i.e. you can't get into debt! There is no extra charge added to your purchases when you use the Payoneer card directly at a point-of-sale machine.
- You can withdraw cash in your local currency from any ATM with the MasterCard logo visible on it somewhere – there are more than 1 million of these ATMs worldwide. The fee for a standard ATM cash withdrawal is around $3. This fee might sting a bit, but it helps me keep disciplined with my spending habits so I don't mind it too much.
If you don’t already have an account with one of Payoneer’s partners, you will want to sign up for your Payoneer card directly from the Payoneer website. The yearly card fee is $29.95, which is deducted from your balance automatically so you don’t have to worry about renewing it. There are no monthly maintenance fees when you sign up for your card via Payoneer's website.
Please note that Payoneer does provide a few other services such as Global Bank Transfers and the US Payment Service; however, I will not be covering these in this review as I do not use the Global Bank Transfer Service and have only recently been approved for the US Payment Service.
Once I have more experience with the US Payment Service I may write another review detailing how I have found it. [UPDATE: I just received my first Direct Deposit payment from Amazon Associates using Payoneer's US Payment Service - everything came through without a hitch and I'm smiling from ear to ear!]
My payoneer experience - One year and counting
If you’re still reading this far, you probably want to know if Payoneer is any good, or maybe you would just like to know “how legit” they are. Before I get to that, allow me to give you a short explanation of how and why I started using Payoneer.
A little over a year ago, I was unemployed and having no luck finding a job in my local area in South Africa. I mused about the possibility of using my skills online as a freelance writer – but my main obstacle, of course, was getting paid. PayPal wasn’t an option because until recently there was no way to withdraw PayPal funds in my country due to confusing regulations. Nevertheless, I was sure there had to be a way, and after many weeks of hitting dead-ends, I finally found Payoneer.
Fast forward through a fruitful year of freelancing and some dabbling in affiliate marketing... Well, I’m still using my Payoneer card, and not a day goes by where I’m not thankful for the freedom it gives me to earn money no matter where I am. Although I mainly use it for receiving my freelance earnings on Freelancer and some affiliate commissions (e.g. Amazon, ClickBank, LinkShare), I have been thoroughly impressed by both Payoneer as a company and the Payoneer prepaid debit card itself.
My major concern when signing up with Payoneer was how long the payments would take to clear, but as it turns out I was worrying for no reason. I have never had a problem with my payments coming through; they have been processed and loaded into my account within the promised two-day waiting period each and every time.
As for paying for things with my Payoneer card, so far I’ve yet to come across a checkout method that prevented me from purchasing – i.e. it just works. I’ve bought goods online at both local and online retailers with no problems, and it's as easy as a credit card transaction. I have even managed to get my PayPal account verified by using Payoneer’s highly useful US Payment Service. That should tell you a lot about the legitimacy of this card.
Whenever I have a question regarding the service or my account, I simply search the Payoneer forum and usually find that my question has already been answered, straightforwardly and in sufficient detail, by one of their community managers or support representatives. I can't vouch for the live support because I've never used them, as I prefer email correspondence when dealing with official matters.
With that said (I mean, what more can I say?), if you’re an online freelancer, content producer, or affiliate marketer looking for a better alternative to PayPal for getting paid over the internet… This is it.
This is also for South Asian countries like India, Pakistan,Nepal, Sri Lanka Etc....
Verdict: 100% legit and highly recommended.

How to start your career as a freelance journalist
Writing a weekly sex column filled with metaphors and rhyming couplets will not buy you daily Cosmopolitans at lunch, let alone a pair of Jimmy Choos. Carrie Bradshaw of Sex and the City may make freelance journalism look glamorous, but it takes a lot of discipline to make it in the publishing world, especially if you are a new kid on the block.

If wearing office attire is not your style and you have a morbid fear of yoghurt thieves raiding the office fridge, then a career in freelancing may be just what you need. Newspapers and magazines across Australia rely on freelance writers to work in specialised fields of journalism. From science and environmental articles to music and film reviews, words are in demand.
The tricky part is getting started. A fat portfolio of published articles and a flair for networking is the key to kick-starting your journalism career. The first step, however, is learning to pitch your stories to the right people.
Where do I get published?
A young writer’s first byline is an indescribable high. Acknowledgment of your work in print is rewarding, and more motivating than any yoga class you contort yourself in. But before you start dreaming of exposing the next political scandal, you have to read, read, read! Know all the publications on the newsstands near you.Educating yourself about the publications out there means you will always have an outlet for your story. The next time your local paper hits your door, don’t just pull out the sport or entertainment sections and dump the rest in recycling. There are opportunities aplenty in newspaper lift-outs. If you have written a profile piece about an upcoming chef, don’t just target food magazines – try the careers section of your local newspaper.
Most freelance writers write articles with a particular outlet already in mind. Your mum may be your biggest fan but you need to work out the target audience for your story if you want to earn a living. To do this, familiarise yourself with your potential publisher. Look up what stories they have done of late, note their tone and style, and read a couple of their recent back issues. Editors receive hoards of articles and requests to be published every day. To be really taken seriously, you need a game plan.
Do I pitch an idea or send a finished article?
As a general rule of thumb, you should write the article rather than just throwing ideas at the editor. While creativity is crucial, a reliable execution of the story is equally, if not more important for an unknown freelancer. The path will get easier once you’ve made a few heads turn. But whatever you do, don’t make them turn for the wrong reasons. Editors have eagle eyes, so don’t piss them off by being lazy and using they’re, there and their interchangeably. Check, double and triple-check that your spelling and grammar are immaculate. Glue yourself to a Macquarie Dictionary and never trust Microsoft Word spell check to do the work for you.Show initiative by downloading their style guide if it is available online and make them fall in love with you. Don’t forget to check the spelling of all names, titles and quotes of interviewees that you have used in your article. A clean, double-spaced copy is your ticket to landing the job.
How do I pitch my story?
When pitching your story, write a concise cover letter with your name, contact details, a short description of yourself and the article. If you have never been published, do not expect to get paid on your first try. However, it is worth calling the publisher on their general contact line and asking them how much freelancers are paid, and if they are paid per word or per article or if it is contractual.If you have been published, send them some of your work or links to online articles. Don’t feel uncomfortable about asking to be paid – the worst that can happen is they’d say no. Never push your story for a byline if they haven’t offered it to you. Desperation is a huge turn-off.
What do I say in my cover letter?
Imagine you are at a speed-dating event and you spot your dream date in the corner of the room. Two minutes is all you have to make them fall in love with you. Go!OK, so you’re not going to tell your future employer that you are an Aquarius and you like long walks on the beach, but you have to make an impression as quickly as possible. Briefly state that you are a freelance journalist and describe your article in a line or two. Make it snappy and appealing so that they want to read more.
It is also practical to give a reasonable deadline for them to get back to you with a response. Weave this in tactfully of course. You don’t want to boss around your potential boss.
Who do I send my cover letter to?
Sending your cover letter to the general email address of the company is the same as dumping it in the bin. Find the name of the relevant editor of the publication and liaise directly with them. Don’t be intimidated by their title. Always remember that editors are real people and they all started somewhere. You’ll be surprised to find that most of them are fantastic individuals happy to help out newcomers. If Anne Hathaway managed to tame Meryl Streep in The Devil Wears Prada, then there is hope for everyone.Pick up the phone
Debunk the myth that writers are loners with no social skills. If you’ve sent out a few articles and you’ve had no new emails in your inbox, pick up the phone and give them a call. Remind the editor about your article and ask about its status. Unless you sound like Fran Drescher from The Nanny, it’s refreshing for an editor to hear a voice that differentiates you from the numerous requests for publications they receive every week via email. This is your chance to be charming and sell your story. But if it’s evident that your article has no place in that publication, then graciously move on.A phone reminder also shows your commitment and it’s easier to persuade someone over the phone than via an emotionless email. Talking to the editor also gives them a better idea of your article, and they may ask you for additional interviews or photographs to improve the story and tailor it to sit better with their publication. Like your very first interview, calling an editor to ask about your article may be nerve-racking, but you will feel a lot better when it’s done. Arm yourself to fight off the biggest enemy – procrastination. As Martin Luther said, ‘How soon “not now” becomes “never”.’
Dust yourself off, and try again
You may not remember your first step, but it was probably one of the biggest obstacles you’ve had to overcome. Over and over, despite bruised knees and twisted feet, you never gave up. Besides, the good is never great until you’ve tasted the bad. J K Rowling was rejected nine times before the manuscript for Harry Potter finally saw the light of day. There is no magic formula – it is all a matter of holding on and getting better at the game.A rejection may not necessarily mean the article was not good. Some places just don’t have the budget to include freelance pieces, or the piece might work better for another publication. Forget the moping – get on your feet and try a different publication.
Better still, write a new article. If the process of getting started on another article doesn’t remind you of how much you love the profession, then nothing will.
How to Become a Freelance Writer
Hundreds of thousands of writing opportunities exist. Making the most
of them is where the art of the freelancer really comes into play. A
freelance writer is someone who writes without belonging to any single
company or entity but acts like a small business or an independent
contractor.
It's possible to be a full-time freelance writer earning a living, or to be a part-time freelancer supplementing a regular income. Another role is to simply do it for fun or to build up a broader portfolio of skills. In this article, you'll get the basics on what it takes to ease your way into freelance writing as a career or hobby.
copywriter or editor in a field related to what you graduated in.
02. Be comfortable communicating. Unless you want to be the hermit novelist living in poverty, you'll need to reach out to other people as a freelance writer. You'll need to be prepared to market yourself, to drum up business, and to chase leads. You will also need to be happy to turn around work quickly and according to the client's or employer's needs and changes, and all of this requires good negotiation and interaction skills. Fortunately, much of this can be done by email, meaning that you can rely on writing to connect but it does mean you'll need to be prepared to put yourself out there and not just sit about waiting for leads.
03
Realize that turning a creative passion into a job can dampen your enthusiasm. No matter how much you love writing, there will be occasional writing jobs that you'll hate doing. In this situation, you'll need to learn the art of "just doing it" regardless of your feelings, your desire to procrastinate, and your temptation to rush through it. Master pushing through the dislike barrier by treating it as the work that it is and looking forward to the more interesting writing coming up. Some freelance writers find it helps to maintain their own writing on the side, as a means for ensuring that at least something they're writing remains a pure joy.

01
Be a good writer.
It may seem self-evident but there is a substantial group of people who
believe that they can write but when they attempt it, their lack of
originality, good grammar, and self-discipline prove otherwise. Be sure
that you're comfortable with writing, that it is a medium in which you
can express yourself with ease and clarity,
and that it is something you don't mind doing almost every single day
of your life without respite. If you don't already have writing
qualifications, consider doing a college degree in journalism or
English, or taking a workshop so that you're at least aware of the major
requirements in writing, and the terminology used. Even if you already
have a degree in a non-writing related course, you may find it easier to
either get a writing diploma or to get an entry-level job as acopywriter or editor in a field related to what you graduated in.

- As part of this, you'll need to know how to write a query letter. A query letter explains the concept of what you're proposing to write, along with a very brief explanation of your experience and qualifications. This letter has to sell your idea to an editor, blog owner, or website operator and will become a regular part of your toolkit. The sooner you're comfortable with it, the better.

How to Get More Facebook Ad Clicks
Facebook advertisements offer an affordable option for business owners seeking highly targeted ad space. Because users spend an average of nearly 8 hours per month on Facebook, many business owners are capitalizing on the captive audience. Whether you run a small or large business, there are a few steps you can take to stand out in the crowd and increase your ads' click through rate.
Per Head White Labeling
Pay Per Head Bookmaking Software Premium Service at a Low Price
Step 1Use a face image
in your ad. The eyes of Facebook users are trained to focus on images of
people and ignore advertisement images of products. Take advantage of
this by using an up-close face image with an amateur look.
Step 2Encourage readers
to take action. Add a call to action or a question to cause readers to
feel compelled to click the add to learn more about your business.
Step 3Keep your ad copy
short and light. Facebook ads only allow for 135 characters in the body
and 25 characters in the title, but you should keep it even shorter if
possible. Because many Facebook users do not read ads completely, you
must strive to convey your message as concisely as possible, without
being dull.
Step 4Stir up emotions.
Let readers know how much they'll regret missing your grand opening or
sale. Find an emotion to connect with your ad and capitalize on it.
Remember, emotions are a powerful part of every advertising campaign.
Step 5Target your ad to
a specific audience. Take advantage of user's Facebook "likes" to
target your ad to those most likely to be interested in your business.
You can also target your ads based on age, relationship status, sex,
region and educational level. Because an ad that appeals to a 50 year
old housewife from Kansas is unlikely to appeal to a 19 year old college
student from Los Angeles, use separate targeted ads if you have a wide
target demographic.
Step 6Perfect your ads over time. Keep an eye on your ads' analytics to find out what works and what doesn't. Adjust accordingly.
How to earn money from Hyip Investing
HYIP is an acronym for High Yield Investment Program, meaning they
offer a higher return than you usually can make from a ‘normal’
investment portfolio.
Many online Hyip Investment sites (or should we say Hyip ‘playing’ sites?) are fraudulent and yet, many people are attracted to this type of investing. Why? People have discovered there are many ways to earn money online and a lot of them are always hoping to find a ‘get rich quick scheme’. Unfortunately greed is part of human nature.
Can you make money from Hyips? Definitely yes, provided you have the necessary knowledge. And this is where most people fail. They are in such a hurry in their desire to make money that they don’t take the time or precautions to be well prepared before joining the Hyip industry. And lose their money…
I won’t say you can get rich from Hyip investing, but it is possible to earn a reasonable extra income.
First of all you need to understand that high yields always come with high risks, whether you invest in Hyips or in any other investment project.
Secondly you need to follow a few basic rules:
-never invest money you are not prepared to lose
-always diversify your investment in several projects (or hyips if you wish). If one or more projects collapse (which is undoubtedly to happen when Hyip investing), these losses can be compensated with the profits of your other projects.
-do some Due Diligence on the Hyips you want to invest in
-cash as soon as possible
-once you get back your initial investment, reinvest only your profits
-when a Hyip shuts down, accept your loss and go on
-stay safe online
So, how to spot the Hyips in which to invest and what Hyips to avoid?
-Visit the specialized Hyip forums and monitors to see what programs are available and what investors are saying about them.
However, be aware that some comments are written by people hired by the Hyip administrator to promote his program. If you visit several forums you will probably recognize them. Other comments possibly come from investors that invested in the Hyip and get a referral commission when they lead new investors to the Hyip. So consider only the impartial opinions/comments. Another issue is the reliability of Hyip monitors. Many Hyips make selective payments, meaning they pay only to monitoring services. That’s why reliable monitors make ‘anonymous’ investments in Hyips and even when they are paid, but have proofs of investors that the Hyip is not paying, they will change on their monitor site the ‘payment status’ of the fraudulent Hyip.
Most Hyips have a ‘Monitors’ or ‘Rate us’ page on their website, displaying the payment buttons of the monitors that are following up the Hyip. Don’t look only at the quantity of monitors buttons displayed, but verify if the high ranked and reliable Hyip monitors are present. The more high ranked and reliable monitors are following up the Hyip, the more money the Hyip has invested.
-The more money a Hyip has invested or is investing, the longer it (probably) will last.
Above I already talked about the Hyips’ investment in reliable and high ranked monitors (follow up by those monitors can be quite expensive).
Other big expenses are publicity (banners and paid publicity in forums, monitors, e-currency exchangers and e-money sites), and website design and safety properties.
Is the website design unique and professional? Some websites simply have cheap or duplicated design, which can be bought for less than $100. Does the Hyip site have DDOS protection, https connection and dedicated server?
-Each day a Hyip last longer, is a day closer to his ending date. Be careful when investing in long-term plans in a Hyip that already exists since a long time, even when most investors’ comments on it are positive. At least do a whois search (see whois.sc) to check if the term of the investment plans matches at least the expiring date of the domain name.
-Stay away from Hyips with completely unrealistic interest rates such as ’120% after 1 hour’ or ’600% after 1 day’ etc… Of course some monitors will display ‘Paying’ because they usually/probably receive referral commissions.
Instead look for Hyips with a reasonable interest rate. The lower the interest rates, the more likely the program will be around for quite a while.
Conclusion: although almost all Hyips turn out to be scam or Ponzi schemes, there are plenty of High Yield Investment Programs that are online for over more than a year AND paying. All you need is to acquire the proper knowledge to make money of these investments.
Like a wise investor once said: Being successful in investing is not a matter of finding the ‘good’ investments, but to avoid the ‘bad’ investments!

11 ways to earn money from online
Blogging
If you're a passionate closet writer who wants to be published but can't find a way to do so, make each keystroke your way to wealth by penning your own blog. Starting a blog doesn't require extensive technical skills but it's important that you have expertise in the field you are writing on. This will attract visitors to your site. Building a large following will enable you to earn profit by luring advertisers, writing paid reviews or getting commissions for promoting other people's products.
Paid Writing
If maintaining a blog is difficult for you but you still want to indulge your passion for writing, you can jot down articles for other blogs or sites such as Weblogs, Helium or PayPerPost. Writing an e-book can also be a good option. E-books are investment free, with no cost for printing and shipping. If you have a strong command over languages, you can become a copy editor, where Webmasters will pay you to read articles and correct grammatical errors, sentence fragments, etc.
e-tuitions/Webinars
The demand for tutors is high and growing. So, if you like helping others learn, e-teaching could be the earning ticket for you. All you need to become an online tutor is expertise in your subject and a few spare hours per week. TutorVista, e-tutor, SmartThinking and Tutor.com are some of the sites you can enroll with. If you gain a good reputation as a coach, you could even conduct Webinars-lectures or seminars transmitted over the Net. College and university students are willing to pay to gain entry to a well-respected Webinar.
Affilliate/Reseller
For those who have the knack of selling, one of the best ways to make money online is to become an affiliate/reseller. An affiliate is a person who gets a commission for selling every product that he promotes, whether on his Website or through any other avenue such as eBay. You don't have to own the product. You only need to sign up for an affiliate program with a company and start selling its products under your referral link. Firms such as Commission Junction or Click Bank have a large pool of products.
Buying/Selling domains
Buying and selling domain names is another way to make money from home and requires very little investment or time. You can buy domains at their registration prices or even cheaper and trade them at a profit. However, always research on sites such as sedo.co.uk, afternic.com, ebay.com or other domain auction sites to get an estimate of the hottest selling names. The best way to find good ones is to use terminated domain lists, which contain several expired names that are back in the pool.
Freelancing for Professionals
(Click On Banner and Free Register Now)
Freelancing is a great option for professionals who are experts in their respective trades and know how to ensure customer satisfaction. Various freelancing and project-oriented sites allow companies that need help to describe their projects. Freelancers and small businesses offer bids, ideas or proposals, from which the buyers can choose what they find most suitable. Websites such as Elance cover everything from programming and writing to data entry and design, while RentACoder focuses on software programming.
Advertising
You can sell space on your Website or blog for advertisements and you earn when these ads are clicked by visitors to your site. The sorting and placing of ads is free. The profitability of pay-per-click advertising depends on the traffic level of the Website and, most importantly, on the clickthrough rate and cost per click. Google AdSense is the most popular option, while others are BidVertiser, Text Link Ads and Blogads. Direct banner and RSS feed are some other forms of online advertising.
GPT Programme
GPT or Get-paid-to sites are becoming increasingly popular among teens. You get paid for signing up for free Websites, newsletters, playing games and filling out online surveys. These are suitable for people who don't have a skill set but want to earn extra money. Taking online surveys is simple- register with a few legitimate, paid survey sites and answer questions. The topics range from shopping to politics. This might not help you make a living, but you can earn good pocket money. Contests2win is one of the trusted GPT Websites.
Online Marketing
Once a Website is created and optimised for search engine (SEO), the SEM or Search Engine Marketing begins. A treasure trove lies hidden here. An SEO/SEM expert, who is responsible for marketing a Website, can promote it in various ways. These include article marketing, writing press releases, forum posting, blog posting, submitting your site to directories and search engines, social bookmarking, etc. Most companies don't do this in-house and pay you to conduct the SEM for them.
