Eduardo Grude is a professional freelance web designer from Latin America, and also a Payoneer account holder. Being experienced in doing business internationally while living in Latin America, Eduardo explains the obstacles freelancers face working in a global economy, and how Payoneer helped him to overcome those obstacles and grow his business.

I´ve been working as a web design freelancer for many years, but I had a big problem: I couldn’t do effective online advertising with per pay click payment methods such as Google Adwords, because of limitations I encountered in Venezuela. I needed to promote my Google Adwords services since the traditional methods weren’t effective enough for me and I needed to get more clients.

I received payments for selling some hosting services as an affiliate but I couldn’t make use of that money other than purchasing on websites or paying for some services. I discovered  Payoneer around 2012, I had been looking for information about opening a bank account in the USA for a long time, and I finally came across Payoneer’s services.

Why did you choose Payoneer?

I can honestly say that Payoneer has changed my life! My biggest problem had been solved, and now I could withdraw money that I received online to a US bank account through the US Payment Service, without having to incur in any expenses, like depositing money to open such account. I was then able to make payments with my Payoneer Mastercard.

Payoneer has enabled me to see the endless opportunities that the Internet has to offer, so much so that I’m leaving my profession as a freelance worker to start other online businesses.

Tell us a bit about your experience using the Payoneer Refer a Friend Program. Are you satisfied?

Regarding the Refer a Friend Program, I immediately started promoting Payoneer’s services- I wanted to shout to the world I had found such a valuable opportunity for everyone using the Net to work and do business.

I am very satisfied with the services Payoneer offers, they really are excellent! And I’m even happier that I have been able to help so many people get to know about their services. In fact, they have acknowledged I’m one of the top 2013 referrers.

To my fellow Venezuelans, and to everyone around the world, I’d like to say: there is a way, starting an online business to work from home or anywhere in the world, is the only way!

We are happy to share the latest testimonial on Payoneer’s Refer a Friend Program by one of our top referrers from Japan, Mr.Takashi Aoki. Enjoy!

Hello, my name is Takashi Aoki. I have started to selling products online as side business when I was still working for a company. After a while, I decided to work on exporting online as my main business. And now I have customers all over the world. I encountered a difficult problem how to have an account in US to start Amazon export.  I searched by internet the solution and I found the Payoneer service. I signed up immediately.

Describe your general experience with our Refer a Friend Program and how you feel about it.

I start to refer this program by my social media. I’m happy to have one role introducing lots of people about Payoneer and their service to who interested in online exporting. 

Based on your experience, what advice would you give to our account holders that are just starting to refer friends?

Please don’t pushing to sign up the card. I believe that the people who understands the service and if it’s fit to their needs, they will sign up!

Are you satisfied with this service?

Yes, I’m very satisfied.

Do you have any efficient information about Payoneer as one of our account holders?

For anyone who wants to try having business on US Amazon, the Payoneer is just like a messiah. Because it required to fly to US in order to open an US account and to have an US company, it was not easy to get started.  

From now on targeting clients outside of Japan, I can recommend that Payoneer’s payment solution will help us to expand the business all over the world. And the Refer a Friend Program is a wonderful program, too. There are not so many people who use this program yet.  I wish much more cardholders start to join the program.

What is the tip for online exporting business in Japan? 

Try to display many kinds of Japanese products that buyers to be familiar with those products. Japanese service has ranked as very high level, so that we can promote it as one of our strategies and approaching by satisfying customers. By doing so, we should have frequent buyers. 

To conclude our interview…

We are now in the era that exporting products from Japan to all over the world even as individuals. It’s not such difficult to get started. We can start own business for the big “world” market. So Payoneer is a solution for those people! I feel very much that Payoneer has been making efforts to satisfy their cardholders by improving their service. And their system is great, too. Once the funds is loaded to the account you can withdraw money by ATM or use Payoneer Mastercard for shopping payments.

There are thousands of people using our Refer a Friend program to spread the word about Payoneer. We had the chance to speak with one of them, Gastón Bicego, who is the CEO and founder of ImpulsandoIdeas.NET. We asked Gastón:

Describe your general experience with our Refer a Friend Program.

The overall experience with the Refer a Friend program has been very good from the start. The Support team of the company has always been available when I needed them to handle my queries or resolve any issue- to me having direct and close contact is very valuable.

What advice would you give to our cardholders that are just starting to refer friends?

My first advice is to know the service and how it works, so you’re prepared to answer any queries you may receive in the future.

Use video. It is easy, what I did was create a simple slide show and record a video with my voice explaining the benefits of the service and how to apply for the card and then I uploaded to Youtube and other video platforms. I also uploaded the slide show on SlideShare . It all adds up to expose more people to your presentation.

Also, I published an article on my blog which included video containing certain keywords to attract visitors from the search engines.

Next was publishing the article with the video on my social networking profiles, and in some forums. All this was done cautiously trying to give the best value possible, without falling into SPAM practices.

Do not forget to answer queries directed to you as fast as possible.

Summing up, this was the basis that enabled me to become one of the main referers in the 2012 Refer a Friend program. I hope, from the bottom of my heart, that I inspire you to shape the techniques you are already using or going to use to promote this program.

Are you satisfied with this service?

I am very happy with the service and attention I receive from Payoneer (now in my native language as well) whenever I need to resolve any problem.

The new Payoneer referral system does work very well and it is reliable. It provides statistics and e-mail notifications whenever someone requests the card through your link and every time you get a commission, I love receiving this kind of notifications 🙂

I can only say: THANK YOU! for giving me this opportunity to share my experience with all the community and help others to generate income through the Refer a Friend program.
