E-Gold Introduction

E-Gold Introduction

E-Gold is gold currency. It is internationally accepted as a currency - a method of online payment. With E-Gold, you may buy things online; sell things online and accept payments in E-Gold currency; and do online investments. Other online payments are credit card, PayPal, E-Bullion, AsianPay, etc.

Like USD, E-Gold value is fluctuating too as its value is tied one-to-one to international gold value. Thus many gold investors invest in E-Gold. As the gold price drop, they buy E-Gold and as gold price drop, E-Gold is sell.

Almost all HYIPs accept E-Gold as their payment medium. HYIP is High Yield Investment Program, which offers high returns over your investment.

If you have a website, you can make that website as your cash-cow by accepting payments using E-Gold!

Creating E-Gold Account

It will take few minutes to complete an E-Gold account application.

All that you need to provide are your account name, user name, postal address, email address, contact numbers and paraphrase (a.k.a. password).

Buying E-Gold

There are many websites (companies or individuals) providing E-Gold services (buying, selling or converting).

These factors can be considered when you want to choose which one of those many websites to use:

• Rate: choose the one that more profitable to you
• Minimum buying or selling
• Processing time: faster is better, based on your own experience
• Registration
• Some require you to become their member thus need to go through lengthy form filling
• Some (especially selling of E-Gold) only require you to fill simple form
• Customer support: fast or slow response
• Procedures
• Some requires you to contact them upon successful money transfer to their account (at your cost - SMS, call, etc)
• Some does not require you to inform them upon successful money transfer to their account: they have a system to know who did transferred money to them
• Payment method: choose the method which more convenient to you
• Bank wires
• Cash deposit through counter or Cash Deposit Machine
• Credit card
• Online bank services
• Trustworthy
• E-Gold certification

You can cash-out your E-Gold money via the website were you bought your E-Gold.

Doing Online Business: Getting Payments to Your E-Gold

You can make an online business and receive payments using E-Gold.

In your website, please include this link as your "Payment" link:

http://{your account number}.e-gold.com/

E-Gold Account Security

Never show or give to anyone your account number and paraphrase.

Referring Other People & Make Money

You can earn money by referring people to create E-Gold account. You will get commission every time your referrals received payments through their E-Gold accounts and whenever they buy E-Gold.

Place this link in your websites and emails so that your visitors or readers can create their E-Gold account:

https://www.e-gold.com/newacct/newaccount.asp?cid={your account number}

http://www.e-gold.com/e-gold.asp?cid={your account number}

Example:

https://www.e-gold.com/newacct/newaccount.asp?cid=100052

http://www.e-gold.com/e-gold.asp?cid=100052

Making money with e-gold

Well, not really in the coverage I intended for this post though, just due to reader's demand. After having some money in e-gold form, either from MMO businesses or converted from live cash, there's several ways you can earn with/use it.

• Buy & sell it and earn profit: e-gold DOES fluctuate with REAL gold, so it's possible to buy in a lot of e-gold when the gold price is low then sell it later to gain profit. People often do such business in groups, and are called "gold bugs". This costs a lot of time and efforts, so personally I haven't tried this yet.
  
• Invest it in some business. I prefer online-capital of all, honest business for long-term.
• Play casino, games.
• Advertise with it. Obeus is just like Adsense, with an exception that it accepts e-gold. You can find Obeus ads at the bottom of this page.
• Convert it again for serious stuff: e-gold can be used to fund some forex services.
