Paying out affiliates before they reach minimum? YES or NO ??? - GoFuckYourself.com

Pics Traffic · 03-05-2008, 08:09 PM

Do you guys do it or not?

Paying out affiliates before they reach minimum is like saying only real webmasters get paid.

Vick! · 03-05-2008, 08:47 PM

sometime a single $35 payment can get you all the future business of someone.

Deputy Chief Command · 03-05-2008, 08:57 PM

my sig sponsor pays out any amount

GoNe · 03-05-2008, 08:58 PM

If I get an affiliate that requests it I do it. No problem at all. I get the request then and then.

Twig · 03-05-2008, 09:00 PM

When I first started a sponsor paid me below the min. It was a big deal to me and I continued to promote them, a lot more than I was going to. Now I make plenty with them.

ajrocks · 03-06-2008, 06:51 AM

I'l do it from time to time if the affiliate really needs it.

pornguy · 03-06-2008, 07:06 AM

I have always thought that it might be a good idea to do if the payment has been sitting for at least 30 days.

fuzebox · 03-06-2008, 07:19 AM

But high minimum payouts is a solid source of income for programs

kmanrox · 03-06-2008, 10:31 AM

if you're an affiliate program and an affiliate requests to get paid and he's below the minimum, while technically you'd be allowed to deny it, but as far as I'm concerned, that's downright shady.

did you ever think that your program sucks and thats why he couldn't make the min. sales? why should he get penalized... you may think he's some dumb shit newb with no traffic, what if he's not.. what if its your ass-backwards program?

u-Bob · 03-06-2008, 10:53 AM

If a program has a minimum payout of $100 or more and/or refuses to send out payments below minimum payout, it always makes me wonder why that program is so desperate to hang on to MY money...

digifan · 03-06-2008, 11:03 AM

Yes, do it and get more affiliates. I wish I had all the money sitting here and there for months in my epass acount.

TommyM · 03-06-2008, 11:06 AM

i dont see why sponsors should not do it, if they request it, if they are not, in my eyes its like stealing the affiliates money

lbc213 · 03-06-2008, 11:13 AM

When I first started out in this biz making maybe 1 sale a period if I was lucky Nasty Dollars would pay out $35 which I though was nice of them, gave me that extra incentive to promote them more and I sent a lot of sales to them as my traffic has continued to grow.

tranza · 03-06-2008, 11:27 AM

If any sponsor refused to do it after I'd requested, I'd never promote it again.

Skillz Unlimited · 03-06-2008, 11:36 AM

Great thread

Marco Porno · 03-06-2008, 11:43 AM

I think that one of the main reasons for a minimum payout is to prevent fraudsters. Carders would have a field day requesting to be paid out every period in advance! my 2 cents

The Ghost · 03-06-2008, 11:44 AM

I've done it before and have no problem with it, or paying out before the end of a pay period. We all have times where the extra money can come in handy and as someone mentioned before, the good will can earn future business.

As long as it's real revenue from sales that are not fraud, it's no problem.

Absolute Minimum payments should be no more than 50$ for domestic webmasters. The ones who set it to $100 or more and pay monthly shouldn't be surprised when webmasters begin preferring merged ccbill programs instead.

If a program did offer to make an exception, I would view that very favorably though. I've had a rep offer that to me once without asking and that particular program is in my sig right now without a ref code.

MikeVega · 03-06-2008, 01:25 PM

if they ask then yes ...

D · 03-06-2008, 01:28 PM

On request, I don't see why not.

It's their money.

Dollarmansteve · 03-06-2008, 01:57 PM

when requested, for sure. There are several reasons for minimum payouts, not the least of which being the cost associated with processing payments and printing checks.

Also, there seems to be a perception that a signup represents a cashflow - which it does, over time... but, having earned say $35 or $70 in commissions doesn't represent $35 of $70 of cash sitting in some bank account or safe :P

Yep same.

I had a low balance at lightspeed ... something like $24. They paid me out on it without question. I just knew I had no more traffic for them. They were awesome about it, I was shocked.

cwd · 03-06-2008, 02:16 PM

If the affiliate request it. I will pay him for sure.
No reason to no pay.
