How to Receive Payment in India while Doing Freelancing For Foreign Countries ?

If there is something better than Paypal, I think it would be Payoneer because I have been using for receiving payments for Amazon affiliate.

. What I like the most about the Payoneer company is that they stick to their proposed charges unlike Paypal, who have so many underlying initial charges aside from the ones they post on their website. It's quite deceiving though.

Paypal charges more transaction fees as compared to Payoneer. So I will list you some differences to make you understand better.

Here are some other differences:

PAYPAL

- Lowest payment currency rate

- Paypal 1.9% transaction

- Best option for small payment

- Transferred to bank a/c up to 7 days

- $3 per transaction

- Best option for large payment

- Transferred to bank a/c within 24 hrs

But what I like the most about Payoneer company is that when you sign you up, you will earn $50, when you get to exceed the required amount of money that you should earn in your account, which is $100.

I have my detailed post on Payoneer Vs Paypal where you can see detailed differences between two payment gateways.

Payoneer is a better option for freelancers who earn money online in India.

2) Manual jobs

Another good option for earning money online is by doing manual jobs. There are numerous manual jobs available on the internet these days and you can easily choose the one that suits your requirements and skills.

This profile of job is completely based on helping out others and earning profit out of it. You do not have to be completely committed towards the work here, you just have to lend a helping hand to others. There are multiple sites where people as for help, I have already mentioned some like Amazon turk and Fiverr.

It is just a mutualistic kind of job where both the parties get benefited. This type of online job is an ideal one for the students those who aren't willing to devote much of the time in jobs. It is a part time job for the students which in turn help them to make money.

Anyone with good core skills can become an online consultant and can get clients online. Online consultants also require a good marketing plan, do not expect to earn money quickly using this type of online job because it takes time to get clients at times.
