Feeling blessed...


Thanks God or Jesus or Allah or Jehowah, you are the same called diferently by people... thanks for making me realize that you're still there no matter who I am, what I've done or where I've gone... I still believe that you are there for me when I need you, I see you everyday in my daughters' smiles, I touch you everyday when I feel my partner's hands, I hug you when I hug my mom, siblings and relatives, I feel your mercy every single day when I know my family is ok wherever they are, I see you in people faces when I walk through the city....when I take a breath in the mornings, it's you who I feel... when I hear the birds singing praises on the trees and while they're flying... all I see it's you... when I look into myself, I can see you deep in my heart... God... I haven't forgotten what you've done for me... it remains there... all memories and experiences... all the people you allowed me to know and learn from them... all that I've learned and the mistakes I've made in the process that seems never stop... I'm still human... I keep making mistakes... I'm not the person I used to be... maybe for many I'm worst 'cause of the mistakes I've made... but I feel I'm better man now 'cause I'm free... I'm free of religions and false God's conceptions... now I know who I am, what I am here for and what God wants me to do... I know my real mission in this life... I found what I was looking for... I found myself...

No puede asociar un banco en este momento. Error Paypal

Que frustrante es para quien intenta ganar dinero extra en internet, el encontrarse con diversas trabas y trampas que lo impiden, no basta con las ofertas de dinero online fraudulento, sino también los tramites demorados y pólizas legales de cada compañia.

Uno de esos impedimentos es el error que suele aparecer en Paypal "No puede asociar un banco en este momento" el cual es tan incómodo para todos los que emprendemos en internet.

Pero bueno, basta de charlas e introducciones. Que hacer en este caso:

Lo más recomendable es dirigirse a la página principal de Paypal en Estados Unidos https://www.paypal.com/us/webapps/mpp/home



Una vez estemos allí, vamos a ir a la parte de abajo donde dice Contact:




Al hacer click en Contact nos va abrir la siguiente pantalla, vamos a darle click sobre Email us:



Nos va a salir lo siguiente:


Estando aquí vamos a decirle que no podemos ingresar a nuestra cuenta (Unable to log in?) es decir, click en Continue. Esto es para que haya mayor prioridad.
Luego nos va a salir un formulario en Inglés, debes llenarlo con tus datos reales, nombre, e-mail de Paypal, etc.

Este es el texto en inglés que vamos a escribir, cópialo y pégalo en el formulario:

I need to associate a bank account to my paypal account but an error has occured "you can not associate a bank account right now" 
Please Help me, I really need to receive my money! 

Luego vas a recibir un correo como el que aparece a continuación:



Aquí básicamente te están diciendo que vuelvas a tu cuenta, una vez ingreses vayas a tu perfil y añadas la cuenta de tu banco. Yo lo hice y bueno me funcionó. Creo que es todo por ahora.

Si tienes algún comentario o pregunta por favor hazlo. No olvides darle + a mi blog, compartirlo en tus redes sociales y suscribirte...

Hasta pronto.



Tarjeta prepagada Payoneer Mastercard

Para aquellos que deseen retirar su dinero de Paypal o de otras compañías americanas como Elance, ODesk, Freelancer, Fiverr etc... les recomiendo la tarjeta Payoneer Mastercard


Con ella se puede retirar dinero en cualquier cajero que tenga el logo de Mastercard en el mundo. Esta es la solución para todos aquellos que tenían que hacer una cantidad de cosas para poder retirar el dinero que ganan online. Si eres un freelancer o trabajas para alguna compañia en Estados Unidos, esta herramienta te va a servir totalmente. 


La tarjeta prepagada Payoneer Mastercard esta asociada a una cuenta bancaria en USA, la cual a su vez se puede asociar a Paypal y otros servicios de pagos por internet. 


Definitivamente les recomiendo que lo hagan, personalmente ya la he usado.







Haz click el link de Payoneer debajo para que solicitar tu tarjeta de inmediato, te llega a tu casa por correo tradicional sin ningún costo:

http://share.payoneer-affiliates.com/a/clk/1jlWnP

Nota: además de los beneficios de la tarjeta, te pagan $25 USD por cada referido que invites a solicitar la tarjeta prepagada Payoneer.

Tambien te invito a visitar los siguientes links:

Elance (esta compañía es excelente, además tiene un programa de referidos que la hace diferente de las demás)
ODesk
Freelancer
Fiverr

Bueno, espero que ésta información sea de ayuda.

No olviden darle un + a mi blog, compartir en sus redes sociales favoritas y suscribirse (Donaciones)

Hasta la próxima.

John.

Recommendations to learn Languages

Here I recommend you some tips to learn Spanish or any language:


  • Make it a hobby: that means you should practice the language with activities you carry out daily and mostly if you have fun with them, for instance, watching TV or listening to music.
  • Get a Native friend: it's very useful when you talk to someone who is a native speaker, in that way you can learn more about culture, slang and customs people in foreign countries have.
  • Practice everyday: using different activities or games online, you can find a great variety of material on the net.
  • Be discipline and organized: arrange your schedule in order to have enough time to learn and practice the language.
  • Get private classes: there are many and excellent teachers online or living in your own country.
Well, those are some advices, leave your comment if this is helpful or simply give an opinion. Don't forget to follow me and suscribe in my Youtube

I'll be posting more stuff soon!!

Kind Regards,

John English
