After admiring the amount in my Perfect Money account, I tried looking for ways on how to move the amount to my Paypal account. I looked everywhere and all I see are Russian websites that I had difficulty understanding and there were even a slew of those sites that even at first sight made me want to run away. Too many horror stories I guess. A couple of months have passed and my money was still sitting inside Perfect Money. I thought about doing a bank withdrawal but I was not so sure if I should really upload any personal documentation, so I didn’t.

Another month elapsed and I thought about braving those foreign sounding websites having half-convinced myself that it’s money that I could never touch, only look at. So again I did a lot of research and looked for any website that would convert my Perfect Money dollars to Paypal dollars. Then I got to this link:

magnetic-money.org/en/perfect-money-usd-to-paypal-usd.html

It actually recommended the websites who charges the least commission for converting your Perfect Money dollars to Paypal. I chose n-change.net. I wasn’t really sure if it’s a scam site, but since I’m at my wits’ end on how to get my money out of Perfect Money, I’ll try anything even if it’s a website that I’m not very comfortable with. However, I didn’t transfer my entire money. I thought that if the site turns out to be a scammer, at least I was only scammed a portion of my money. The commission they charged was 8% per transaction with a minimum charge of $4. It was pretty steep but again, I was prepared to bite the bullet.

I had to do a lot of google translate so I can understand the messages I’ve been receiving. After my transaction was said to be successful, I monitored my Paypal account to check if the money would arrive. I checked almost every hour. After a day has passed without any movement from my Paypal account, I was convinced that I’ve been had. I didn’t feel very bad because I was half-expecting it.

However, the following night after I did the N-Change transaction, I got an email from Wow Mine saying that my transaction has been completed and the money is now in my Paypal account. I was skeptical at first but when I double-checked my Paypal account, the promised money was actually there! I was so relieved that right after I got my money, I transferred all my Perfect Money balance to Paypal using N-Change. Now all my money is safely tucked away in Paypal and I couldn’t be happier.

So to folks out there who were in the same predicament as me three months ago, if you have some money in Perfect Money, and you want to move it to Paypal, use N-Change.net. It’s not a scammer site, I’ve used it already in two occasions and everything went like clockwork. This should be a reason to celebrate. Spread the word about N-Change.net!

Have you heard of the advertising network ADBEANS? Never? Too bad, that means you haven’t been contacted by them. Which also means that you will probably miss out on this new opportunity. But have no fear, all is not lost (I think), you can always go to ADBEANS and register for an account. All I can say is that Adbeans is as legitimate as they come. I’ve already had several payouts from them and the payouts are actually nice. I joined March last year and for the entire 2010, I earned around $750, which is not bad really considering that I only have to paste a little widget on my site. The dollar amount above is just loosely converted from GBP. Oh yes, here’s proof:

The only problem then was that I lost my Google PR. Well big whoop right? I mean with Google’s PR almost a non-factor in SERP rankings I really couldn’t care less.

Now what got me excited this time is that the guys at Adbeans have really upped the ante on their network and are offering new and better options if you work with them. I’d hate to discuss these on my own (actually very lazy) so I’ll just cut and paste the email I got from them.

To make really good online money, one has to invest time and effort to learn the ropes. You cannot make online money overnight. Well I suppose you could but we’ll only be talking about a few dollars and cents here. Also, to make online money, one has to spend money as well; unless you’d want to do things manually for the rest of your life. There are a lot of tools out there who claim to help you make online money but of course you have to be wary because some of those who sell you these things are only after your money. Anyway, here are the ways you could make online money by degrees of difficulty:

1. Make online money with Google Adsense – easiest one to implement. +
2. Make online money via paid posts +
3. Make online money via paid surveys +
4. Pay to click (PTC) sites +
5. Private ad sales (if you have a blog or website) ++
6. Make online money through referral programs (Chitika, Widgetbucks, etc..) ++
7. Make online money by selling links (Text-link-ads, inline ads) ++
8. Sell something online +++
9. Affiliate Marketing +++
10.Open a membership site +++

+ Fairly easy to implement/do. Adsense however may take a lot of work before you can earn, but implementing it is really easy.
++ Will take a fair amount of work, time, and of course reputation
+++ This is something that you really have to work for and will probably cost you a lot of money.

I’m not usually a gambling man, but when an opportunity arises that I feel the odds are stacked in my favor, I never hesitate. So earlier today, when an officemate was asking whether there’s anyone interested to bet on the UEFA Champion’s League quarterfinal clash between Liverpool & Chelsea with the latter being given a one goal advantage, I didn’t hesitate to volunteer.

Liverpool is no slouch in the football field this year. Every game they played this week showed that they are one of the teams to beat. Chelsea on the other hand has been well, a shadow of their 2008 self. I do know however that buried deep inside that team’s heart lies the courage of real contenders. I would never have thought of betting if there were no handicaps involved. Liverpool after all comes into the game brimming with confidence and Chelsea, well there has to be some sort of hesitation on their part. But the advantage given to Chelsea was too much I think. They’re not exactly a pushover team. They know how to win. So with full confidence, I accepted the bet, crossed the fingers and watched the game.

I almost choked when Liverpool got the first goal at 6 minutes into the game. I thought Chelsea was a goner. But the winning heart I knew the team has came into play. When the smoke cleared Chelsea won 3-1, and I earned myself an easy P1,000 in less than 2 hours.

I probably won’t be betting again. It’s a bad thing if you make a habit out of it. Besides I don’t think the boys in the office would think so little of Chelsea again.

Just a little caution should you indulge yourself into gambling though. Be sure to bet only what you can afford to lose. And more importantly, don’t bet what you don’t have.

And so it is with making money online. Some opportunities are only available to bloggers who live on certain areas. So far, I’ve tried searching for paid opportunities online for bloggers in the Asian region and this early, the following are the things that could give us Asians some extra money.
