PayPal for some time now allows you to buy Bitcoins. However, this feature has only been added to users in some countries, including the US and UK, so most users who use it globally cannot enjoy this feature yet. Buy Bitcoin with Paypal from the app To those who appear to have been enabled, a new section within the PayPal website or app, specially dedicated to the trading of cryptocurrencies. In fact, it works like a crypto exchange, even if it actually relies on an external exchange. However, the user does not realize that the trades are made on another exchange, because it operates exclusively from the PayPal platform. The company also released on its official website a guide that shows how to make purchases and sales of cryptocurrencies directly on PayPal. The process is really simple, because simply access the "Finances" section and then select "Crypto". At that point, once you enter the Crypto subsection, that's enoug...

Forget pens on chains and lollipops at the drive-thru — how about access to your paycheck two days early or the ability to overdraft without a fee? Those modern banking perks are popular among financial technology companies like Chime, Current and Varo, which have exploded in popularity in recent years. Often called neobanks, these institutions intentionally position themselves as alternatives to the stuffy, Wells Fargo-type legacy banks of the world. Their mission statements prioritize inclusivity; their commercials target middle-class Americans who need flexibility over when and how they get paid. Put simply: They're not your parents' banks, and they don't want to be. The rise of neobanks can be attributed to shifts in demands in the consumer banking market, says Marco Di Maggio, an associate professor at the Harvard Business School. Lots of people no longer trust large, traditional institutions like Bank of America and JP Mor...

The sales funnel of an online business encompasses every step from someone visiting a website to joining an email list, to purchasing and repeat purchasing. Although huge efforts likely went into designing and producing products and securing customers, most businesses can do more to optimise their funnels, making a huge impact on their profitability. John Ainsworth is the founder of Data Driven Marketing, an agency that works with online course creators, that "already have web traffic and great products, but not enough sales". Over twenty years of building sales funnels, Ainsworth has analysed hundreds of millions of dollars in online business, to pass the learning onto his clients. Many of Ainsworth's five and six-figure clients have reached seven figures in annual revenue after implementing his guidance. Making improvements to each element of a sales funnel compounds.

Show Caption Hide Caption Fed expects three interest rate hikes in 2022 The Federal Reserve will quicken the pace at which it's pulling back its support for the economy as inflation surges, and it expects to raise interest rates three times next year. (Dec. 15) AP The Federal Reserve is on a mission to cool off demand and drive down inflation. And yes, you're going to face higher interest rates on your credit cards as a result. Fed rate hikes tend to be passed along to credit cardholders within a month or two. If the Federal Reserve makes its first move to raise short term rates at its next policy meeting in mid-March, as some expect, you could be looking at higher credit card rates as soon as April or May.  "Card issuers have some flexibility, particularly with new customers, but credit card rates typically track the federal funds rate quite closely...

While millions of Americans are quitting their jobs in search of better employment, many of them are doing so in the hope of never having to work for someone else ever again. The pandemic has, at least for the time being, halted — and perhaps reversed — a decadeslong decline in the pace of entrepreneurship. Americans applied for a record 5.4 million business ID numbers in 2021, according to census data that goes back to 2004. 2022 is already on track to be a record year as well, according to projections from QuickBooks. While data on true business formations is available only through 2019, growth in ID number applications is closely related to actual business formations. Other datasets, including Bureau of Labor Statistics data that shows a rise in self-employed people as well as data from a number of companies that offer small business tools, bear out the trend toward record entrepreneurism. The recent growth in new businesses has big implications for the Americans starting them...
