Tips & Warnings
Getting a Paypal account may make receiving payments from your clients easier.
Most of the advertisements for email processing are advertising a pyramid scheme. Although the details vary, they usually include sending out unsolicited advertisements via email for doing the same type of work you are doing. Only when someone responds to that unsolicited email would you be paid. This unethical and illegal.
