Ways to Make Money Online

My Top 10 List of Ways to Make Money Online

There are tons of different ways you can make money online and you don’t need to be an internet marketing guru to earn some bucks on the internet.  Today I’m going to give you a list of the Top 10 ways you can make money online.  Some of these ways you will need a more fundamental understanding of the internet and/or internet marketing, but if you are able to navigate the internet then there is no reason you can’t generate some cash in your pocket if you want to.  Let’s get to it:

#1 Fiverr.com
ANYBODY can make money online over at Fiverr.com.  If you’ve been living under a rock Fiverr is a site that let’s you list something (physical product, service, anything really) that you will offer to someone for the price of $5.  What are some things you can sell on Fiverr?  A lot of people sell SEO services (you need internet marketing knowledge for this), video reviews (you just need a webcam), sock puppets (you need the mad skills of making sock puppets), they’ll friend you and pretend to be your girlfriend on Facebook for a few days (if you have a Facebook account and you’re hot you can do this), ebooks, singing happy birthday, or any number of things.  Head over there and see what people are offering and I will GUARANTEE there is stuff you can be offering.  This is ideal for someone who can either offer a product or service and mass produce it and sell a ton, or someone who needs some extra cash and is willing to offer whatever people need.

#2  Craigslist.com
Craigslist is a goldmine for a variety of people and reasons.  You can run internet marketing concepts on Craigslist.  I won’t get into all that but there’s a lot of CPA offers where you can find people on Craiglist you can market them to.  Not interested in CPA offers or internet marketing, no worries, head to some local tag sales or estate auctions.  Buy stuff in bulk on the cheap.  Go to Craigslist and post it all.  There’s no posting fees, there’s no selling fee (unlike selling through Ebay) and you always deal in cash with people on Craigslist.  You should have a goal that for every $25 worth of goods you buy at a tag sale you should be able to sell them for AT LEAST $50 on Craigslist.  Hit up a few tag sales every weekend, post them on Craigslist and sell’em and you can be making a spare couple hundred bucks a week.

#3 Amazon.com
There’s a lot of affiliate programs out there but Amazon.com is the biggest and Amazon is such a well known site and has a huge reach that you’ll get a lot of people who click on your Amazon affiliate link and they just happen to buy a different product and you’ll get credit for it.  I’ve posted a few articles on how to win at promoting the Amazon affiliates program so if you want to check’em out there’s a lot of helpful tips on how I pull in some major cash through this program.  The best thing about this is that you can get it up and running for under $30 (domain name + monthly hosting).

#4  Start Your Own Blog
The blogs that I see that succeed the most are the ones where the blog owner is really passionate about the subject of his blog.  It does not matter if your passion is food, technology, sports, pets, whatever.  If you let your passion shine through and you produce unique, insightful, informative content on your blog you will eventually gain readers.  And once you start gaining readers you’ll be able to start making money through a variety of ways (ads, products, services, revenue share, etc…).  If you are not passionate about a topic and you try to create a blog on that topic it is going to be a much harder journey, not impossible, but significantly harder.

#5 Create and Sell a Service
You can create a service and market yourself and your service online in order to gain customers.  You don’t need to offer an online based service (though you could).  If you are a babysitter, a dog walker, a guitar lesson coach, a tutor, these are all services that you can market online and get customers.  I would think that everyone should (hopefully) have something that they excel at and can offer as a service.  If I wanted to offer a service online I could offer either 1 on 1 coaching or an online class on making money online.  If I wanted to do an offline service I’d offer to watch people’s pets when they go on vacation (they bring them to my house).  I know I could do either of these services and I’d make money at them so I’m sure there is at least one if not more things you can offer to people as a service.

#6 Become a Middleman
Some people don’t have anything to sell but they are great talkers.  They are personable, can small talk someone, and know (or can learn) the art of negotiation.   If you are one of these types of people you can become a middleman/broker.  There’s lots of people who have things that they want to sell but their problem is finding the right buyer.  This is where you come in.  You find that buyer for them and you get a 10% or 15% commission based on the sales price.  There’s domain name brokers.  You don’t need to own a great domain name in order to profit from great domain names, you just need to be able to identify the sellers, find them and let your talking convince them that you can find a buyer for their domains.  Then you need to be able to find buyers and convince them that the domain name for sale will help them and the price is right.  If you can sell a $100k domain name you just pocketed $10k or $15K depending on what percentage you worked out.  And being a middleman doesn’t have to be just in the domain name game.  Find people in real life who have something to sell and once you get them to sign an agreement go online and look for a buyer.  Bigger ticket items are best because you want to get a decent amount of commission out of every sale.  Cars, antiques, jewelery, collectables are all big ticket items.

#7  Become an Affiliate
There’s a lot of people online who have a product or service that they are selling and they are always looking for people to sell it for them in exchange for a cut of the sale.  You can find a bunch of these product/service owners on Clickbank.  Find a product that you believe people will have an interest in buying… something where the demand is there, the price of the product is reasonable, the sales page is enticing, and off you go.  There’s TONS of ways to promote affiliate products.  What is great about this is if you find a way to generate a lot of sales you can get a very nice run and make hundreds or thousands of dollars in a single day.  It doesn’t happen for everyone, but I’ve personally had days where I’ve made five figures in affiliate commission.

#8 Do Something Better
Sometimes the best way to make money is to find something that you are not happy with and doing it better.  That is how Netflix got started.  Reed Hastings was not happy about a late fee that Blockbuster charged him and fast foward to today and Netflix.  A lot of big things have started from a single small dissatisfaction.  If you are unhappy with something than chances are there may be many people unhappy with that same thing.  Find something that is lacking and find a way to fix it and offer that new solution to people.  Another product is that towel with the velcro on it that women use to wrap their hair in when they get out of the shower.  Think about it, a towel with some velcro, and that was a million dollar idea.

#9 Domain Name Flipping
I’ve talked about domain name flipping before and I’m still telling you that this is a great way to make money and maximize your time to profit ratio.   You can get into the domain name game with $100 and be on your way.  Make sure you read as much as you humanly can before you start so you can avoid some of the pitfalls that most people make when they just jump right in.  If you get good at this you’ll find that you can make a full time living working 10-15 hours per week.  It’s just a matter of learning the ropes and working hard and smart to succeed.  Domain name flipping can require you to be patient, both by having to learn the ropes initially, and then having to wait for the right buyer of your domain names.  But when everything comes together this is something that won’t take much of your time and you can do it from anywhere at any time of the day.  If you want to read an article about a success story in the domain name industry here you go.  Now you can’t just jump right in and do what he did because that was then and this is now, but you can see the potential (albeit on a smaller scale today).

#10 Creating Your Own Product & Getting Affiliates to Promote it For You
This is #1 for a reason because you can ring the register and make in upwards of 7 figures a year but this also has the biggest learning curve, takes a ton of hard work, requires you to be smart every step along the way, get a little lucky if need be, and have the ability to work on something for a few months while making no money during the time (until you launch the product).  When you create your own product and get affiliates to promote it for you, you are expanding your reach across the web.  You will touch places of the internet that you couldn’t touch yourself and you’ll get sales from a huge variety of places.  Affiliates can be quite clever and if you have a stellar product that they believe in and want to promote some of them will go the extra mile to promote it across the entire internet.  People will make Youtube videos to promote your product, they’ll do article marketing, they’ll start a review site, they’ll comment on blogs, I mean the amount of things that they will do is limitless.  But you first have to come up with that killer idea, than see it through and create the killer product, while also creating a killer sales page, and then you have to reach out and get affiliates to market it.  This is not for the weak of heart but if you do it right the rewards are quite handsome.

Why Do People Start their own Business

Why Do People Start their own Business

There are many reasons why people want to start their own business(es). The most obviously reason is about making money, which is translated into making a better life for himself/herself and also the family. However, studies have shown that some people start their own businesses for other reasons as well.

Some do it for the time that they will have to share with those closest to them. If one is an employee, his time is controlled and dictated by this job. There are times when his child is sick, or he needs to send his wife for a medical checkup. Unless he takes a day off, and provided that his boss approves his day off, he is stuck. However, having one’s own business, he is also the boss. So, who is the boss to say he cannot take 2 hours off to run a family errand.

People like to be recognized for their achievements. But by who’s standard? In an organization (it is even worse when the organization is big), many employees’ achievements are overlooked and made to look like as if they are something employees were paid to do anywhere. However, when  a mistake is done, the repercussions are big. Have you heard the saying that “Being an employee is a thankless job. When you do right, your boss does not see. When you do wrong, the entire organization talks about it”.

With businesses, there are opportunities to grow, to broaden the mind, to meet more people. Do you know why so many people meet and marry their spouses from the organization? That is because they never get to meet anybody else outside the organization. At times, these may not be the best match, but there is very limited choice. Employees’ circles of friends seemed to be limited people at work and maybe people from church. After a while, the circles may even shrink. Why? Well, people move on, especially those who have started owning their own business.

Now, I do believe that it is a basic human desire to be able to help others, whether financially or otherwise. That is why those in need of financial assistance will always make a plea via the  public media as the donations just keeps pouring in. Have you ever felt frustrated that you are not able to chip in more because your own finances are not much better, perhaps. That is why many people have started their business based on this purpose and desire to help others.

There are perhaps a lot of other reasons why people want to start their own businesses. Wanting to start is a common desire but knowing how to do it is a whole new ball game. Then comes the obstacles of starting a business so of which are:-

1. No Time
2. No Money
3. No Network
4. No Product
5. And the list goes on.

Yeah, there are many businesses out there where it does take a lot of time to start, heavy financial investments, no special unique products which are not already sold in the market and nobody to sell it to. Would you be interested if there was a business out there where you choose the amount of time you want to put into the business, very little money down, excellent products and a mentor who will guide you to building the network that you want and need for your business?

If you are, then this is just the business for you. This is the perfect business to start you on your dream of owning your own business.

 

US economy

US economy growing faster than previously thought

The US economy’s bounce-back last quarter from a dismal winter was even faster than previously thought, a sign that growth will likely remain solid for rest of the year.

The economy as measured by gross domestic product grew at a 4.6 per cent annual rate in the April-June quarter, the Commerce Department said today. It was the fastest pace in more than two years and higher than the government’s previous estimate of 4.2 per cent.

The upward revision reflected stronger-than-expected business investment and exports last quarter.

The healthy second-quarter growth marked a sharp rebound from the January-March quarter, when the economy shrank at a 2.1 per cent rate in the midst of a brutal winter that idled factories and kept consumers at home.

As the third quarter nears an end, economists envision a strengthening economy through the end of 2014 and into 2015. Many think the economy is growing in the current July-September quarter at a rate of around 3 per cent.

Sal Guatieri, senior economist at BMO Capital Markets, is slightly more optimistic than most. He said a brighter outlook for business investment spending and other good economic reports had led him to revise his GDP forecast to 3.2 per cent growth for the July-September period, up from 2.8 per cent earlier.

“The American economy is firing on virtually all cylinders and cruising at a decidedly stronger rate than in recent years,” Mr Guatieri said.

Today’s report on GDP — the economy’s total output of goods and services — was the government’s third and final estimate for the second quarter.

The final upward revision was driven by new-found strength in business investment, which grew at an annual rate of 9.7 per cent last quarter thanks to higher spending on structures and equipment.

The data showed that exports grew at an 11.1 per cent rate in the second quarter, stronger than 10.1 per cent in its earlier estimate.

Consumer spending, which accounts for more than two-thirds of economic activity, grew at a 2.5 per cent annual rate. That figure was unchanged from the previous estimate. But it represents twice the 1.2 per cent growth in consumer spending in the first quarter.

The surge of activity this spring was in part a turnaround from the harsh winter, which disrupted factory production and kept consumers away from stores.

Because of the rough start to the year, growth for 2014 overall is expected to be a temperate 2.1 per cent, little changed from last year’s 2.2 percent increase.

Analysts have sketched a much brighter outlook for 2015. They say that the economy is entering a period of above-trend growth as unemployment falls. More job growth should translate into stronger consumer spending.

Economists at JPMorgan Chase predict growth of 3 per cent next year. That would be a significant improvement on the economy’s average annual growth of around 2 per cent since the end of the recession in June 2009.

Best 8 Reasons That Decrease AdSense Revenue

Best 8 Reasons That Decrease AdSense Revenue 100%

Maximum AdSense publishers and bloggers frequently ask me why their AdSense earnings are decreasing daily, why they are getting low CPC value, why they are not making decent money with AdSense. I always smile when these kinds of queries I get as why people don’t understand Google AdSense program policies before getting start with AdSense.

In one of my previous articles I have shared how to increase AdSense earnings and it will help them to boost revenue from their blog. Today I am going to disclose some key factors that decrease AdSense income because it’s not possible for me to response everyone the same answer every time. I hope this article help them and won’t decreases their earnings.

1. More ads displayed

Maximum bloggers have believed that displaying more ads help them to generate good CPC (Cost per click) value and lead them to earn more. But this believed is totally wrong and in fact placing more ad units on a web page decreases AdSense revenue.

The reason of this is Google loves those pages which provide more and more information to the user. AdSense bots are very smart and if they find that you are displaying more Ads than providing information to user, they lower down CPC values. Providing maximum relevant information and content can boost your cost per click revenue and it will help you to boost rankings in SERPs as well.

So my suggestion is don’t display too much ads on a web page, I will recommend you to display 3 Ads on single web page and max to max you can show 4 Google Advertisements.

2. Website layout

You will be amazed to know that your adsense income decrement is increasing day by day just because of website design. Your blog’s design layout just sucks which leads you not to make good money from AdSense. Everyone likes to have a wonderful blog design and layout with lots of colour combinations and effects. But this leads to decrease revenue.

When you use a plain layout, especially with white back ground you will be able to find better cpc price in AdSense a/c. Try to use minimum plugins and java scripts in your website, it will reduce page load time that will help to boost income.

3. You don’t use text and images ads

This is one of the common reasons that your adsense revenue is decreasing. Many bloggers like to display images ads because they have strong belief that showing image rich ads will attract end users and they will click on it whereas some bloggers think that displaying only text Ads can lead them to get more clicks on ads. No doubt you may get good number of clicks but what about CPC cost? It will be low always.

The fact that Google likes both text and image rich formats and it recommends publishers to use both text and image rich advertisements on their websites. I also use image and text ads on my blogs which is the reason that I get good CPC values.

So friends display image/text ad formats on your blog and I am confident that it will not decrease your AdSense earnings, trust me…

4. Smart pricing Issue

Smart pricing issue is very common and it is one of the major reasons that your AdSense earnings get lower down day by day. Maximum publishers aren’t aware about this issue but from today they will be able to remove this issue and increase their earnings from Google’s advertisement program.

As bloggers create new blogs and publish 10-15 articles they start to monetise that blog, even some smart bloggers start to display ads on fresh blog having only 4,5 posts. This money earning greed decreases AdSense income. Not only from new blog but also it leads Google bots to reduce cost per click value on old website as well.

Google loves content rich web pages to display advertisements and give high CPC because advertisers invest big money for good keywords and Google displays good quality articles in SERPs, so it doesn’t like when you start to display ads on low quality content web pages.

I will recommend you not to display ads on a fresh blog until it is having at least 40 quality posts. When you follow this, your adsense revenue will not be decreased.

5. Don’t write catchy titles

All professional bloggers and online marketers even I also suggest people to write catchy articles for blog posts. An article’s catchy title always hooks end user to click on that article whether it is displayed in search results or shared on social networking sites. But do you know that writing attractive title can lead to decrease Google ads revenue?

Well if you don’t know then you must be lacking to enhance your adsense earnings. The reason behind this methodology that when you write catchy title you couldn’t place keyword in title in a proper manner for which the advertiser pays big amount to Google. When a user lands on your page, bots check from which keyword they are landing on your web-page according that keyword CPC value is decided.

So if you want not to decrease your adsense income try to use high cpc value keywords in your titles and try to make it catchy title with the use of proper keyword.

6. Low paying niche

Your website’s niche can be one of the reasons that you are experiencing low AdSense earnings. Blog’s category matters a lot in the increment and decrement of Advertisements income. When you are working on a niche like Blogging, SEO you will not see much high CPC values. It’s reason is simple that bloggers and online marketers will be the audience on your blog and they will not click on ads as they are aware of about advertisements.

So if you want to make money with AdSense program, one must go with website niches like Automobiles, Luxury, home décor etc. Advertisers give handsome money to Google to advertise their business hence Google also pays good revenue for this category sites.

7. Ads placement and size

The placement of ads and advertisement’s size matters a lot in AdSense earnings. Placing ads below fold decreases cpc value but it is not a thumb rule that always placing ads below fold give low income from ads. Majority of bloggers and publishers have shared their experience about it that placing ads above the fold give good revenue from Google ads.

The size of ads also the key point. Google Also recommends 4 ads formats to use on your blog if you want to maximize revenue. If you use any ad unit except 728*90, 336*280, 300*250, 160*600 the earnings will be lower.

So one should display recommended ads on blog and place them properly.

8. Smart placement of first ad unit

Placing ads above always give good CPC cost, but do you know that placing it properly can enhance your AdSense earnings more. All you need is to just do experimenting. One should use recommended ad units at different locations of web page and monitor CPC and CTR in your AdSense account.

For best CPC value, use that ad unit and increase your ads revenue.

Final words:

Choose perfect niche for your blog and use recommended ads format to get most of out from Google’s AdSense program. These are the top reasons that can reduce your AdSense earnings. I hope you will keep in mind these things and increase your ads revenue.

Similarly, sports photography is also a huge market of making money.

   3. Specialize In “What Sells”

      To make money with photography, you need to look at the commercial aspect of photography. Get an overview of the market stats to know what sells the most. You have to be thorough with this one. Find out what sells the most not only in terms of the subject, but in terms of image quality, concept and license (royalty-free, rights-managed or copyrighted images). Once you are done with the ground work, you gain an insight into what is favored by the audience and likewise you can start working in that direction for providing the photographs which  are liked by the masses.

   4. Creativity Is The Key To Making Money

      Your creativity, vision, imagination and the presentation skills provide you an edge over the other photographers. The stock photography sites, the web designers, entrepreneurs, advertisers, etc mostly avoid picking up the common photographs. The photographs they pick and choose reflect the brand and convey some specific message and thus, each of them is looking for something unusual, different and striking. If you can offer the creative photographs which convey the message or highlight the concept, nothing like it. So, even though you specialize in what sells the most, the one thing which gives you an edge over the others and of course help you draw money is your creativity.

   5. Post-processing As A Medium For Making Money

      In the course of learning photography, the photographers eventually turn out to be the masters of the post-processing skills. Right from making some crucial post-processing adjustments for correcting the color cast, contrast, saturation, sharpness, etc to introducing some special effects in the photographs, the photographers can make a good income by utilizing their post-processing skills (also termed as the photo-finishing skills). You can easily make money by offering post-processing services like creating a realistic torn photo-frame effect, converting the colored photographs to black and white, restoring the old pictures (and resurrect the faded color in Photoshop), etc.

   6. Photo-Journalism Is A Great Source Of Making Money

      Photography is as diverse as its applications. Ranging from street photography to conceptual / story telling photographs, you can make good money by offering your photographs for editorial purposes to magazines and newspapers. This gives you an opportunity to make money as a freelancer (as a hobbyists or an enthusiast). Instead of just offering the photographs to the magazines, you can earn a good income by selling the stories with the photographs shot by you. All you need to do is to invest in some creative effort to wrap the photographs around the content like photographing streets, customs, traditions, buildings, people, etc when traveling to some distant city / state with the intent of presenting it as a documentation sells well with the magazines.

   7. Shoot For The Advertisement Campaigns

      Marketing is the evergreen stream of income and shooting for an advertisement campaign alone can help you make good money. But getting the offer for an advertising campaign requires a lot of effort on your part; where the major role is played by the contacts at your disposal and the richness of your portfolio. It requires you to be a technical expert (having sound knowledge of the basic concepts of photography and command over the equipment) to produce the sharp, creative and impressive photographs required by the advertising agencies.

   8. Join A Professional Photographer As An Assistant

      Joining a professional photographer as an assistant serves a dual purpose. Firstly, it enables you to make a living with the salary offered by the photographer and secondly, it helps in gaining experience and exposure. Working on various projects with a professional / freelancer photographer comes in handy for understanding the issues between clients & photographers and helps you in exploring the opportunities as a beginner.

   9. Make Money With A Home Studio

      Economically speaking, the best of way of earning money is to cut down the costs. Instead of investing in a full-fledged studio, its better to maintain a simple home-based studio with bare necessities. It just takes a DSLR, a tripod and the artificial lights to get started with a decent business with home studios. This kind of set-up comes in handy for photographing the table-top products ranging from a pencil or pen to the textured walls (and balls, fruits, etc) which help in contributing to your online portfolio with stock photography sites (or can make way to owned website galleries). A home studio set-up opens up the opportunities for experimenting with various subjects at your disposal.

   10. Find The Business Interested In Your Kind Of Photography

       Every business needs photos for various purposes —for brochures, websites, company events and meetings, advertisements, etc. These photographs reflect the brand of the company and gives recognition to the products and the services they offer. Owing to the above said facts, the companies tend to hire the photographers permanently and pay them huge sums for the photographs which speak about the company at large. Apart from this, the businesses dealing in real estates also offer good deals to the photographers for photographing the property and portraying the houses and flats as attractive as possible.

NECA decries exclusion of private sector from FG’s jobs board

 

The Nigeria Employers’ Consultative Association (NECA) yesterday decried the exclusion of the real private sector from the composition of the Presidential Jobs Board inaugurated by President Goodluck Jonathan on Wednesday.
The board which is chaired by Vice-President Namadi Sambo, is saddled with the responsibility of creating three million jobs in the next one year.
Other members of the board are: Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Anyim Pius Anyim; Minister of Petroleum Resources, Mrs. Diezani Alison-Madueke; Minister of Trade and Investment, Mr. Olusegun Aganga; Minister of Labour, Mr. Emeka Wogu; Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, Dr. Akinwumi Adesina; Minister of Solid Minerals, Mr. Musa Sada; Minister of Health, Prof. Onyebuchi Chukwu; Minister of Education, Mr. Ibrahim Shekarau; and Governor of the Central bank of Nigeria (CBN, Mr. Godwin Emefiele among other ministers  as members.
The umbrella body for the private sector employers, while commending president, said it would address the huge unemployment rate in the country.
A statement issued by the Director General of NECA, Mr. Olusegun Oshinowo, however observed that the real private sector which represents the grassroots enterprises and entrepreneurs are often excluded in the composition of such committees.
According to the NECA, often times, government equates successful entrepreneurs to the face and representation of the private sector.
He said the private sector has formidable institutions such as NECA, Manufacturers’ Association of Nigeria (MAN), Nigerian Association of Chambers of Commerce, Industry, Mines and Agriculture (NACCIMA), National Association of Small and Medium Scale Enterprises (NASME) and National Association of Small Scale Industries (NASSI), which represent grassroots enterprises and entrepreneurs.
He explained that private institutions are better placed and positioned to work with the government in creating sustainable jobs.
“This is a welcome development that would aid in addressing the time bomb of high unemployment among our youths, currently put at 80 percent by the CBN in June, 2014.
“We hope that this initiative will not go the way of others, whose outcomes were never known to the public or implemented for the benefits of the country. Jobs are key to the reduction of poverty, enhancement of security and sustainable economic growth.
“We, however, wish to note that the composition of the board, unfortunately, does not include the real private sector in Nigeria. Often times, government equates successful entrepreneurs to the face and representation of the private sector,” the statement added.

Apple nudges PayPal deeper into bitcoin

EBay CEO John Donahoe has long expressed interest in Bitcoin

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- EBay is taking a bet that digital currencies like bitcoin lead a new wave of payments in the future. And it’s doing this just ahead of the launch of Apple’s new, potentially eBay-rivaling, payments service.

The San Jose, Calif.-based company on Tuesday announced agreements with leading bitcoin payment processors BitPay, Coinbase and GoCoin to enable PayPal merchants to accept the currency.

eBay EBAY, +0.51%  will gradually widen its support of bitcoin, said Scott Ellison, PayPal’s senior director of corporate strategy, at first rolling out the capability only to merchants in North America.

The announcement comes at a critical point for PayPal’s merchants business as mobile payments continue to evolve.

Apple Pay, Apple’s AAPL, +1.56%   new one-touch payment service, is set to spring to life next month in some 220,000 stores across the country.

While it’s unclear whether bitcoin will play a part in Apple Pay, Apple did lift its ban on bitcoin apps earlier this year, and it will eventually open up Apple Pay to developers, potentially enabling third-party interaction between bitcoin and Apple Pay.

“I think PayPal recognizes they are at risk on a number of fronts and is becoming far more aggressive about meeting a wider variety of customer needs as a result than they otherwise would be,” said Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group.

Analysts have been bullish on Apple Pay so far, particularly how debit and credit card transactions conducted through the platform will enhance Apple’s bottom line and transform the mobile-payments market.

EBay’s shares fell as much as 2.5% to an intraday low on Sept. 9, the day Apple Pay was announced at a lavish event in Cupertino. On Tuesday, they closed up 0.51% to $52.74 after spiking as much as 1.5% earlier in the day.

EBay’s foray into bitcoin serves as a long-term hedge against the gradual rise of cryptocurrencies, said Roger Kay, tech analyst and founder of Endpoint Technologies Associates Inc. However, the event in Cupertino no doubt served as a nudge as well.

“Apple’s announcement is just another data point,” Kay said. “As an established payments processor, PayPal can’t afford to be left behind if any of these new schemes take off.”

schemes take off.”

EBay chief John Donahoe has long expressed interest in bitcoin and hinted that the digital currency could play a part in PayPal’s future.

The company earlier this month took its first stab at it when it teamed with bitcoin exchange Coinbase to allow eBay’s Braintree customers, which include Uber and Airbnb, to accept the currency.

“This new entrant in the world of payments has people asking lots of questions – including how and if PayPal will decide to work with bitcoin,” Ellison said. “We hope to do more with bitcoin as its ecosystem continues to evolve.”

PayPal will not process the payments or add the currency to its digital wallet. But Ellison said PayPal will “proceed gradually” with the roll out, supporting bitcoin in some ways and not in others, and seeing “how things develop.”
