How to Open a PayPal

This is a very important step when working with online programs that pay you to link back to them, write about them, etc. because at first you may not want to disclose your personal information such as bank accounts, credit card numbers, etc. so with a PayPal account you simply give them your e-mail and they pay, without their ever knowing your important information (however be very cautious as many of these programs DO REQUIRE a social security number (SSN) or IRS information, so only apply for those that do not if you do not want to share that information. So as you can see a PayPal account is a great way to make sure your information is safe and not transmitted online, and you still get paid for your work. Now how do you oen a PayPal account?..well I don't know..just kidding I do and I will show you.

1) Get an e-mail address. (if you have one please skip down to step 4).

2)To get an free e-mail address go to a site which will give one to you, I recommend Google because I have used it for several years now and it works great, it has many features and is reliable and rather easy to use. (if you want Google please click the link: Google).

3)If you are using Google then click where it says "Create a New Account". Fill in the form with information (you don't even have to use real info) and click "accept and creat my account" box at the bottom.

4)Now go to PayPal.com and click "Sign Up" on the bottom of the "Account Login" box.

5)Fill in the ofrm with VALID information (so here you SHOULD use real information) and when it asks to link your bank account just select no or later, and then click the create account button.

6)If it tells you to link your bank account again just ignore the mesage and click "go to my account" or something simlar to that. (So you DO NOT need to link a bank account OR credit card.)(This might come after step 7.)

7)If it tells yoou to go to your e-mail to verify your account then do that and click the link in the e-mail they sent you to verify your account. (This might come before step 6.)

8)Then this should take you to your account and you should see your current balance which should be zero, unless you put money in it or linked your account to your bank account

9)Smile and congratulate yourself on opening a brand new PayPal account.
