A Necessary Evil

In any business venture, the desire to do business and handle monies conveniently for your customers, and yourself, inevitably leads you to online payment processor world. I am perhaps being a bit harsh on the payment processors, but as an "internet marketer" you fight a lot of prejudice in setting up a business online.

Payment processors are big and small. Some are more full featured, and include the ability to fund and withdraw via credit card or bank account. Some allow you to transfer in / out to other processors to do some of the fancy stuff. All have varying fees for incoming and outgoing transactions. Just like banks, payment processors rely on fees as their lifeblood. Only banks are more highly regulated and it would be unheard of to charge a fee to deposit funds... but that is a regular feature of payment processors.

With all that said, there would be very little business processed on the internet without payment processors. Also, there is a fair share of scammers out there that look at payment systems as a target for fraud. It may be that the fees are justified in the face of the risk of offering money services online.

To participate in a program like ProfitClicking you are going to need a way to make your advertising purchases and withdraw your daily earnings. As an internet based business, PC does not associate itself with a banking system and cannot accept or initiate credit card payments. Instead they use payment processors to collect and disburse funds.

Most readers would be familiar with PayPal as a payment processor, and feel inconvenienced because ProfitClicking does not have a PayPal option. It seems that PC and PayPal have incompatible business models, and for now, PC and PayPal will not do business with one another. Fortunately there are many pay processors to choose from.

PC currently works with four different payment processors to give it's members a broad choice of options to get their fundings and withdrawals processed. Though there is no limit on deposits daily, it seems that payment processors do put limits on payments to others. For the individual this leads to few problems, but for a company like PC, whith more than a million members, payments to members can be a challenge. Just like individual accounts have limits, so does PC,although their limits are quite a bit larger. Recent news has ProfitClicking preparing to add 3 more pay processors just to ensure they can meet the withdrawal needs of it's members!

In subsequent articles, I will take on each payment processor and discuss their pros and cons. In the meantime, as you are starting in ProfitClicking, you will need to be set up in any one of them to get funds into PC. I have placed banners for the four pay processors below for your convenience in getting started.
