1. Sign in to Paypal. You will need your email address and password. If you do not remember your password, you can click the forgot password link to have a temporary password sent to your email address. However, you will need your email address.

1. Launch Microsoft Notepad, WordPad or your usual Web design program.
2. Click 'File' and then 'Open' to open the Web page containing the PayPal button that you want to reposition.
3. Scroll to the PayPal button on the Web page. This is usually at the top of the page or within the payment information section. You'll recognize the button because the design code starts with '<form name='_xclick' action='https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr' method='post'>.'

How to be Safe When Using Craigslist

1. Think before you meet. If you must meet someone in person to either exchange goods or to start a social group, your first meeting should always be held in a public place. Always let a friend or family member know where you are going and when you plan on returning.
2. Never let your guard down. Even once you have met the other individual and start to feel comfortable, never let your guard down. Unfortunately, some people are professionals when it comes to scamming. Do not agree to "go some place quieter."
3. Never post or exchange personal information. This includes such things as your home address, along with any financial information.
4. Be sure to always have a contract. Many people use Craigslist to arrange freelance work. Whether it be writing, Web site design or anything else, never do the work without a detailed contract.
5. Deal locally. When looking to buy or sell, try to arrange the transaction with someone from your area. This is relatively easy since Craigslist is organized by location.
6. Never wire money. If a person is only willing to sell you something after you wire them the agreed upon money, this is a sure sign of a scam. Wire transfers are not traceable and cannot be cancelled.
7. Avoid paying shipping services. If a transaction requires you pay extra for the cost of either a shipping or escrow service, this is most likely a scam. If not possible to exchange face to face, all goods should be sent via mail or a recognized delivery system such as UPS, FedEx or DHL.

How to Organize Your Payday Project

1. Create additional email addresses, so you can keep your Project Payday correspondence separate from your personal emails. You will receive many emails from Project Payday and from clients with products.
2. Register and open a PayPal account. A PayPal account is needed for you to get paid. Clients may ask if you are a verified PayPal customer before working with you, so having a PayPal account can increase your credibility in the Project Payday business.
3. Apply for a separate bank card to keep track of your Project Payday transactions. This will help you stay organized with your banking transactions.
4. Keep your clients' information in separate folders on your computer. This includes their Terms & Condition contracts, any other documents they may send and a list of products you have reviewed for them.
5. Create a large spreadsheet that keeps all of your clients and projects in one place. You should only include small and vital details, such as name and date of the offer, referral, trade amount, contract information and offer expiration date. Include any notes specific to the project in question.
6. Create a payment spreadsheet. Keep track of every client, project and payment you get, so you can easily complete your taxes come tax time.
