Octra Bond’s World

Although I had had the idea to earn money from the Internet for a long time, I had not started seriously. I used to try Google AdSense and other pay-per-clicks but their low-income rates took so long time to collect; I was bored to wait so I must find another way. Selling on the Internet was one of the things I was interested, but I had only few stuffs to sell such as coin and banknote collections. Accordingly, I needed to provide a source of online savings if I was going to sell.

Previously, I have a PayPal account long ago but never used because I had no credit card. Even I had debit cards but they could not be verified due to Thailand's financial law. At that time, I thought that it was useless... Many years later, PayPal allows to link its account to any Thai bank accounts; this was my new chance. I passed verification by this method. BUT the big deal is that I cannot deposit money from bank to PayPal due to the law again; I can only withdraw from PayPal back to bank. (You should know that PayPal is located in USA but I live in Thailand.) I then have to transfer money to other reliable person who already has a usable PayPal account and he will deposit the money into my account. Although he charges a bit high but I must do. And a few days ago, I firstly tried to shop with my account; it was exciting.

Another way I thought is to get income from Second Life. After PayPal and Second Life linked together, I could take opportunity from this virtual world. (Another good thing is that I can visit adult zone.) I am able to earn Linden dollar (L$), the virtual currency, in any way and exchange it into real money. And next, I will send it back to my bank account. However, my major obstacles are totally expensive fee because of forwarding and exchange rate variation between Linden dollar, US dollar (US$), and Thai baht (฿).
