When Will You be Paid?

When Will You be Paid?

Look for programs that have monthly payment schedules. Some merchants only pay their affiliates every 3 months. If you are like most people you have monthly bills to pay. So it is wise to look for affiliate programs that will pay you on a monthly basis.

I don't imagine that you want to wait 3 months to get paid for your efforts. In most cases quarterly payments are just a sign of laziness and ignorance from the merchant's end.

Only accept a clear pay structure. Any legitimate affiliate program should be written up so that it clearly states what you will receive for your effort. This sounds simple enough, however there are many affiliate programs that offer very vague pay rates. If does not clearly state in the affiliate agreement what you will receive for your efforts avoid them.

Not so long ago I researched an affiliate program that promised you a percentage of nothing. The merchant stated the rate of commission but they did not state the cost of the product. Any affiliate who signs up for a program like that is setting himself up to be ripped off.
