The Other Side of the Digital World: The Joys and Sorrows of Building Digital Assets from Scratch

Many people assume everyone's lives are fine. Yet, each individual has their own story of struggle. Perhaps it's due to less-than-ideal circumstances or specific challenges. It's the same for me. At only 34 years old, there's still a lot I don't know, or financial limitations. Honestly, I barely make ends meet, but I'm still grateful to be able to eat and drink well every day. For me, the internet is my world. I only communicate directly through devices and not directly with people. If this were reversed, I'd often struggle more, because I'm an introvert whose energy quickly drains when interacting directly with people. For me, digital assets are domains, websites and blogs. In the world of domains, websites, and blogs, I started my journey by building a blog, even though it didn't yield anything other than experience. I feel like managing my own blog is quite a feat, managing existing resources. The one that produces the most articles is a blog abou...

PayPal Transparency Story : My 3 Earliest PayPal Balance Sources




This article will tell you about my early experiences with PayPal in the 2010s. Above is a first email from PayPal to me. For us, the PayPal story holds a lot of meaning and hope for success, from my first account creation to my dream of being able to top up my PayPal balance in any way possible. The story begins with my journey through a period when, if everything went smoothly, I would have earned a bachelor's degree. But things didn't turn out the way I wanted in 2014.

After that, I started building my business career selling soccer jerseys and various other businesses. I also tried various online earning opportunities, one of which was writing. It seems it all started in 2015. And, in October 2016, I first used PayPal to purchase a domain on Flippa. This means I had topped up my PayPal balance through a third-party intermediary, and then the money was transferred to my PayPal account.

Here are the first three sources that inform my story of transactions with PayPal:


1. Dedoho





So, my initial PayPal balance came from my own funds. I purchased the balance through a third party I knew online, and I did it while browsing.

This is a third-party provider from Benowo, Surabaya, called Dedoho, which I've used smoothly. I used this PayPal balance to try buying a domain. With very little knowledge, my eyes fell on 'hillaryrclinton.io'. I didn't even buy a .com domain, which was a very risky decision.

At the time, the US presidential election was in full swing, with Hillary Clinton as one of the candidates. My mistake was not realizing the 'r' in the domain name between 'Hillary' and 'Clinton'. After seeing it in my email history, I bought it for $6 and all the costs so the total I paid was $9.


2. Premise




I don't really remember my first income from Premise, maybe it was a single task that was paid directly, yes it was a single task that was paid directly. This was in my early days of learning about Premise. It's a platform that assigns online surveys and requires you to upload data in the form of images, as requested by the task name.


3. Curious Cat



Curious Cat is a platform that offers rewarded online surveys for anyone looking to earn real money. I found it on Google Play and gave it a try. My efforts paid off when I received my first PayPal payment from Curious Cat. After that, I became even more enthusiastic about finding online income, as I had previously experienced numerous failures and numerous scams, leading to pessimism. My first payout was $1.51, as shown in the screenshots.


Conclusion

We're so excited when it comes to money and our income. Likewise, when we receive our first PayPal paycheck, we'll experience a dopamine surge and the joy of proving our independence. So, here are our first three sources of PayPal money. We hope this article will further motivate readers to earn money using their gadgets.
