Online payment methods for non US citizens

Available payment methods for Non US citizens

In order to withdraw your earnings you will need a viable mode of payment. There are five methods of payment
i)                    payoneer
ii)                   local wire transfer
iii)                 skrill
iv)                 paypal and
v)                  Automated Clearing House (ACH)
All of the above payment methods have their advantages and disadvantages In this article I’m going to cover only the 2nd payment method since it is the most recommend method for non-US citizens.

The local wire transfer allows you to withdraw as low as $30 from your account to your local bank account in your local currency. The withdrawal fee is $3.99 per withdrawal. See how to use local wire transfer method

online Jobs in Kenya

Find Online Jobs from Kenya

How to begin Working from home


Online Jobs, Quickly find jobs befitting your experience

online Jobs are a reality that many people have not been able to come to terms with because the process is either diluted by spammers or con artists who direct unsuspecting users to websites that require fee for registration but offer no work once the unsuspecting user has paid the fee. In my search for online jobs I have come across many websites purporting to offer online jobs or work from home jobs as we know it. In one occasion I was directed by friend to a website offering similar online jobs. The site was well formatted with good introduction stating how one can begin earning immediately.

What made me suspicious though were two things that were obvious. Just below the introduction, there were two image thumbnail links, one for Paypal and another one for Safaricom Mpesa, when I clicked on the Paypal link because I have a paypal account, I was directed to a page where the owner of this website placed his mobile phone numbers and a short notice requesting the visitor to send 4000/= to that phone number in order to begin work. The other Mpesa Link also pointed to the same page.


Working from home requires that both parties have a clear means of payment. The mode, means and process for payment and who should pay who is critical to the point that you should not register with any website offering online jobs especially i) if the payment process is not clear, and ii) or worse if you are the one paying (There is no way as a job seeker you will be asked to pay every office you will be visiting in your search for work).

Astounding!! These kinds of websites are scattered around the internet and knowing who is who becomes difficult to the normal user, the fact being that true places where you can register and start work immediately are hidden and not always available through the normal Google search sometimes because these fake websites spam search engines to rank high in searches.

How working from home works

Once you join the network, you will be able to see thousands of online Jobs posting around the globe. The online jobs are categorized so you choose only the ones that fit you. Examples of these categories are Data Entry or Writing and Translation etc. these are just a tip of the iceberg, there are more than 20 categories with each category having subcategories branching from it. If you don’t have any experience, don’t worry there are all sort of work available like the data entry job where you just copy and paste information from one file format to another. To begin working immediately please sign up here   Online Jobs Here

Maximimize your online Job earning

To maximize your earning you will need to increase you speed. Contractors with favourable speed have recorded income of hundreds of thousands of dollars as monthly earnings.

How you get paid for an online Job

Payment is available in two forms. Fixed and Hourly. Fixed payment method is based on the entire bulk of work while hourly is based on hours worked. When you are working on fixed payment, you get paid after completing the job but when on hourly payment job method you get paid for the hours worked. It’s business and its free to join.

As a contractor the client (the person you are applying to) always has his/her own payment estimation, this estimation sometimes is minimal compared to the work so don’t suggest to high or too low. Fill in the rest of the information required and hit apply. See sample of applicationletter (Cover letter). You copy and paste the sample and edit it accordingly.

Web hosting

Web hosting in Kenya


Web hosting in Kenya is still in the low despite the much hype and efforts on fiber optic cable infrastructure deployment. Today there are hundreds of companies in Kenya offering web hosting services. These web hosting companies differ on price and the quality of the services they offer.

Apart from the price, the means and mode of payment for web hosting services is also not clear. Recently I wrote an article about Visa prepay card that can be used to pay for services and purchase things from the internet but it seems Kenyans are so reluctant about the whole issue.

Luckily to bridge the gap, most of the web hosting companies in Kenya have more than one means for payment like Mpesa and other mobile money systems though paying for an online service using mobile money systems like Mpesa is less secure and not interesting due to the time it takes to get connected to customer care service like the safaricom’s 234 line that can take a whole day before getting through in case you sent money to the wrong number.

Credit cards on the other hand are more secure when it comes to purchasing goods and services online because that is what it was developed for.

Things to consider when shopping for web hosting service are as follows;

Web hosting in Kenya: Domain registration

Some web hosting companies offer free Domain registration to their clients if they purchase web hosting plans that go beyond 12 months. While this is convenient budget wise it might bite you hard in the future when you want to move your website to another web hosting company.

So it is better you keep your domain registration away from your web hosting company.  Domain registrations costs about $10 to $15 per year that is between KES900 to KES1, 300 and it is worth to buy it yourself than getting it for free from the web hosting company because it might not be free at all.
Remember:  the web hosting companies are there to make money through their services so free is not that free.

Web hosting in Kenya: Price

The price of web hosting in Kenya has not been different from the rest of the web hosting companies outside Kenya and It might cost you about $3 - $10 per month depending on the plan you choose that is KES270 - KES900 per month.

Web hosting in Kenya: Space

Space is a Major factor when deciding which web hosting company to use. Space is the disk space measured in bytes of the physical space allocated on the hard disk to you to host your website. This is where you will store all files associated with your website and WebPages.

At one point before I set up my own web hosting company, I signed up with a web hosting company that promise unlimited space and bandwidth that turned up to be only 20GB. Although 20GB is more than enough for hosting a website, it is immoral to promise a nonexistent service just because you want customers.
