Comprehensive steps of PayPal to Equity Bank Withdrawal

Many people have been asking me how I get money from faraway lands like India and Australia. Therefore, today I decided to write a comprehensive tutorial touching on the same. I hope that this will guide any newbie out there willing to venture into the unpredictable world of freelancing on the internet. In addition, may be you want to do as a part time job to test the ‘sweet’ waters and be your own boss (somehow). 

 

 Opening a bank account

First, you open a bank account ordinarily with you details. These details include your legal names as they appear on your national ID and the address of your residence. If you do not have an address, look for any post office number within your area. Omit the words ‘’P. O. Box’’ and just write the numbers. That is what I used and it worked.

Not just any account qualifies for PayPal cash; you need to specify that it is a transactional account. The other thing is to pay for a VISA card, which expires in about three years. Therefore, you will need to replace the card when it expires. Equity Bank charges around KES 600 for the card, but that is not the end of the story. Remember you have two accounts to deal with. One online (PayPal) and the other can also be online or offline – your bank account.

Opening a Kenyan PayPal account

On that note, PayPal charges around KES 300 for verification. They have to verify your identity because they are in another continent and, therefore cannot see you face-to-face. This process usually takes two weeks at the time of writing this tutorial. May be these days they are quicker. This adds up to KES 900 sitting in your newly opened bank account. We have not opened a PayPal one yet. Thus, following this tutorial, head over to PayPal and fill your details; these details including your email address and physical address have to be the same as the ones used when dealing with Equity Bank.

Linking PayPal to Equity Bank

Now that you have opened both accounts successfully, ask the bank for a bank statement after about a week. In this statement, there is a four-digit code from PayPal due to the verification charges. Search for it and then enter it in you PayPal account, on the page that asks for the verification code. At that point, you are ready to smile all the way to the bank and withdraw your earnings. If there is a dollar balance in your PayPal account that someone in another country sent you or earnings from freelancing. The local withdrawal has to be in USD. Moreover, you have to register on the self service portal of Equity bank, you can do so here.

Conclusions

The withdrawal process in equity bank used to be eight days when the South Africans were acting as intermediaries. Equity Bank eliminated them and now it is just three days, or 72 hours from the time of hitting the ‘Withdraw’ button on the Equity Bank website. The website is also known as the portal for those who don't know the terms. Overall, it is better to use only ONE device for banking, if it's the laptop then let it be only the laptop. Otherwise the Equity Bank system will think you are a fraudster and cause unnecessary errors.

Although there are other people who pose as agents of PayPal, they charge a lot of money in addition to low rates compared to Equity Bank. Therefore, I prefer the local bank simply because these ‘agents’ are exploitative in nature and you may not get the anticipated full amount.

Geting likes on Instagram

Instagram is Social Media website or a mobile application that people use for sharing pictures as well as videos. It is premeditated that consumers would take snapshots on their Smartphone and subsequently upload the snaps “instantaneously” by means of the Instagram app. Similar to various Social Media websites; the purpose is to link consumers among pals, relations, associates, in addition to other consumers with parallel interests. The application is mainly visual-based through the stress on outsized, artistic photos. Moreover, Instagram gives a range of filters for various types of media like photos and videos, which lets consumers correct and improve their content for good appearance. 

Though Instagram thrived on its individual effort before the Facebook purchase, Facebook facilitated the expansion of the mobile application plus the website. Approximately two years following the Facebook purchase, Instagram attained the targeted 180 million monthly dynamic consumers in the latest figures. This is a significant objective regarding Instagram attaining these figures more rapidly than the other Social Media sites. Only Google+ accomplished this target sooner than Instagram. The attractiveness of the Instagram keeps on growing as well as amassing more consumers each day. Bloggers and businesses are leveraging on this popularity by interacting with consumers and potential customers.




As soon as Instagram started swaying the public, the main target was groups in the 14-25 age brackets. Nevertheless, having more than 180 million dynamic users per month, the age bracket is bound to expand intensely. Instagram is fashionable in the midst of a range of demographics in addition to numerous companies hoping to cash in on the demographics. As it keeps on expanding, either folks use it for individual consumption or as a platform for advertising. Therefore, Instagram is fetching to be a leader in Social Media goings-on.

Exploiting Hash-tags on Instagram to get more Likes

Instagram mainly concerns posting pictures and making them alluring. The recommended technique to execute this is to exploit Hash-tags along with the caption of the pictures to boost their glimpse and get more ‘likes’. If someone wants other users to come across their pictures, each snap and its caption ought to incorporate some Hash-tags as a minimum in order to lure more users or consumers. Clearly, a few Hash-tags are frequent than others. For example, categorizing #breezy may perhaps have more observations than categorizing #funeral.

A business or a blogger may perform a rapid search on Google and discover many websites that provide a list of common Hash-tags. However, they ought to know the meaning of that trendy lingo and consider how they may include them into their pictures. The good side of Hash-tags is that whichever category that shows up shows various posts on a particular topic.

Facilitating responsiveness on Instagram

There are several means of letting users become aware of an account on Instagram and consequently persuading them to ‘like’ it. The following points are the recommend strategies for a business or blogger to get more ‘likes’:

• Publicize the Instagram profile on supplementary websites such as Facebook and Twitter linking back to a particular profile. Posts on Facebook may be paid to get to preferred viewers.

• Inform folks with reference to the profile on Instagram with posters and banners at their physical places.

• Participate in competitions or persuade users to post photos, which compares to a product, including relevant Hash-tags and/or adding your official account to the post using the Add People feature.

• The photos posted should be easy to find via Hash-tags, in addition to the locality.

On the other hand, it may not be adequate to publicize that there is a new Instagram profile. The excellent approach to get and maintain fans is to produce premium and relevant material, which consumers can gain. Several users follow new and interesting profiles, however if they are not fond of the posts, they may swiftly go to other profiles.

In addition, making engaging posts boosts the possibility of an interesting profile being found by other users on Instagram, since the content can become visible on search engine. Google, one of the search engines, makes use of an algorithm to show fascinating material and News tab where users notice that the profiles they engage have ‘liked’ various posts. To conclude, the worth of these fans is generally stumpy regarding the attraction to a particular brand. A blogger or an advertiser will realize huge victory in getting fans by the following the point above.

Endorsement of products and services in the Music Industry

To begin with, music brings to mind emotions in people and these emotions can be negative or positive. Endorsement of products and services in the music industry is profitable for every company that invests in it and for every musician. Moreover, companies are also beneficiaries of this endorsement deals because it is a way to gain publicity of their offerings in a particular market. This publicity is usually considered to be the cheaper option compared to prime-time advertising.

For example, when media houses are covering celebrity news, and they mention a particular musician, the company that endorsed him/her gains by the free publicity, and the public - who are the consumers - considers their decisions to purchase a given product.


These endorsement deals are like a double-edged sword because if a musician/celebrity is involved in scandalous activities, the company that invested in him/her, will not like to be associated with the scandal. For example, a musician in the USA popularly known as Chris Brown is full of scandals almost every month. His scandals are not limited to his country of origin, but it spreads to other geographical locations of the world. Therefore, few corporations would consider investing their money in endorsements of their products through Chris Brown; who is full of gossip.


This leads me to the research question, which inquires whether Brand Managers’ appraisal to invest money in endorsing their products and services through music is recommended or not. Brand Managers can consider investing money in endorsement through music by estimating the impact and influence music has on a wide scale. The various benefits of endorsement through music are in more detail in the following paragraphs.

Everybody listens to music

Imagine sitting in a boardroom of a big corporation and the Chairperson of the Board requests for a review of their advertising expenditure in relation to their revenues; you are asked as the Head of Department in charge of the portfolio, regarding advertising and other related tasks such as public relations, for a comprehensive presentation. The Head of that Department outlines the pros and the cons of endorsing certain musicians in order to gain on publicity of their products. Moreover, the corporation saves on big advertising budgets that have slots in TV, radio and the internet.


Furthermore, everybody listens to music. The late James Brown in USA referred to music as universal language, in fact, if people were computers it would be the same as binary codes. Every product is eligible to be associated with the kind of soundtrack attached to it.

Age is nothing but a number

Another benefit that the Head of Department gives to the board is that age is nothing but a number. A famous musician, who is now dead, once said that everybody is old enough to listen to whatever genre of music he/she likes. Even a baby can enjoy a tune although it cannot sing-along to the song. Brand Managers usually exploit this by attaching their baby related products; it can be babies’ cloths, babies’ food and toys.

Some people like slow music while others like it fast. 

Slow jams or music are often associated with romance; therefore, such a studio recording is for people of between 20-40 years of age. On the other hand, fast-paced music is for the younger generation and incorporates teenagers.

An Addictive Drug

Music can manipulate people into doing something. Firstly, music is like an addictive drug and Brand Managers are aware of this.  For example, corporations use of jingles on advertising platform such as TV, radio and the internet to target a specific group of people into purchasing their products or services. A drug dealer works in a similar way but he is often illegitimate and the government agencies usually arrests them when they are caught undertaking illegal activities any day.

There is no gender inequity in music

In a world full of inequalities of different nature, and in various societies there is no inequality when it comes to music, especially gender based inequality. Almost everybody can dance to his or her favorite tunes, even noble men and women. What varies is the style of dancing people use. In traditional African societies …
Endorsements can elevate societies.


When a corporation employs a single musician to endorse some of their products or services, he/she becomes some sort of a leader and role model in a society. This way other musicians will also be interested in endorsing a company’s products and services. Soon enough everybody in a particular society will be enjoying an endorsed brand.

CONCLUSION

In winding up this paper, I found that endorsement of products and services in Kenya is still at its infancy compared to other developed countries. Music is a universal language, and therefore, everybody listens to music; people listen to it regardless of their age, while others prefer slow music as opposed to fast ones. Furthermore, music can lead people to act in a way that suggest they have lost control of their bodies/minds. I also found out that there is no gender inequity in music measuring up to other inequities in any given society. Finally, I concluded that endorsements in general have the potential to elevate societies to greater heights economically.

Brand managers ought to proceed with their profitable plans to invest in endorsements of their products and services. To put it in a non-technical language, endorsement is simply displaying a company’s product offerings to the public. This can be in sports or sponsorship of events. Perhaps I might dwell on that topic on another day.

An in-depth analysis of America's borrowing appetite

A Credit card is something an American cannot do without and banks are sweetening borrowing and financing terms more than ever. The main reasons for this ‘cheap credit’ are that interest rates are low.
Companies lure US residents with enticing advertisements that make them spend more, regardless of the source. Some people consider it a financial disease and reforms should be put into practice.

According to a study conducted by the economist, borrowing trends are surprisingly steady in the course of the economic cycles of the USA in the last two decades. The majority of the borrowers forward their debt to the following debt cycle – which is typically 30 days; which leads them to procrastinate on their debt obligations.

Borrowing money is a constant phenomena in America

Half the youthful borrowers, who borrow money using credit cards, are not disciplined in paying off their debt. Therefore, the money owed just accumulates and they result to even borrowing more money.
This perennial borrowing usually affects their credit scores and those with bad credit scores are shunned by major banks. Americans fail to come to a point where they reduce their debt in all the youthful and working years. They consider tapering their debt when they reach their retirement age.

They can hardly wait to start earning money and borrow more

Children in the US are taught the benefits of having a credit card such as convenience when shopping and paying for utility bills in the comfort of their houses. When they learn the benefits of credit cards they look forward to joining employment and earning some money in order to be eligible to borrow some more.
Little do they know that these ‘new money’ comes with some strings attached by the major banks.
Credit cards are converted into a replacement of reserves for these rookies in the job market.

Continued use of credit cards

Middle-aged Americans still use credit cards to carry out transactions, it is as if it is embedded in their DNA, these older folks use only half of their borrowing potential. On the other hand, rookies try to clear the available money in a short period. It can be observed that as the young ones – fired up – stabilize their lives with marriages, mortgages and other responsibilities, their borrowing appetite subsidizes.

It is at this age that they start thinking of stuff like insurance and other investment opportunities. Others could in general require large amounts of money while another person might consume and invest a few hundred dollars. However, not every citizen’s use of credit cards shows a discrepancy for the duration of his or her existence.

The Bottom line

Banks and the public go with flow when times are good, but when financial disasters arrive such as the Great Depression of 1929 and the recent financial crisis, everybody tightens his or her wallet. In these situations, it is only the government, which is capable of spending some money. Financial institutions are always fine-tuning their lending rates on top of the interest rate set by the Federal Reserve.
