Higher or lower Payout thresholds

[Ben]

I messaged the support on a couple that I was curious about and there is no fee for taking a payment at the threshold minimum. They said there was no reason other than preference as to why people choose a higher payout.

There you go! Then I would just set it at the minimum just in case something comes up and you stop selling something and still have a larger amount stuck in your account.

I always set mine to the lowest limit to get paid. I have not seen any place that I use charging a fee but if they did charge one for lower limits I might set mine higher.

Set lower payout limit is also my strategy

I have always done that myself but I was asking because it seemed strange that anyone would set a higher limit without good reason which is why I asked about this.

I have always just set mine at the minimums and have never seen any good reason to set them higher. Maybe if you wanted to save up for a big payday or something but I wouldn't understand why you would want to do it that way.

Same with me and that's why I can't understand what the benefits of setting them higher would be.

I wouldn't want to leave them in an account to save up myself though. What is something goes wrong and your account gets closed or banned? What if the company closes? You would probably lose everything in your account if something like that happened.

I have always set mine to whatever the minimum is just because I don't like leaving money in my accounts unless I have to.

That way you can have the money in your bank when you need it.

I don't like to either and that's why I was wondering why people would even do it.

Maybe just to say they got bigger commission checks.

I always set my payout thresholds to the lowest amount that is allowed. I don't like leaving money that I earned sitting in an account somewhere unless there is a very good reason.

That seems to be the general thinking by people so I don't understand why there would even be an option for setting it higher.

On every affiliate program or network I have ever used I always set the payout thresholds to the lowest possible. It doesn't make good sense to set them higher for no goo reason.

What if the program shuts down, has problems, you account get hacked or there is some other problem that causes you to lose that money? All your work would have been for nothing.

Set them at the lowest amount that is possible so that can give you some level of security against losing bigger amounts of money.

I fully agree with you and that's one of the main reason why I asked this question. It just seems strange to set it higher for no good reason.

Maybe they are just using it as a savings account to save up and get a big payout. I sure hope it's not that because that would be really dumb because they are not paying any kind of interest on the money while it's sitting in your account.

You may set the payout threshold to the minimum one which is set by the affiliate networks or programs. However if you are working with clickbank than I would prefer to make the threshold a minimum of $100 because Clickbank have CDR requirements which means You have to generate at least two sales from different payment processors.

I always go for lower payouts, why? Because it will be easy to reach and to withdraw. I am also afraid that if something happens to the site, I might lose all the money that I worked for, so if the site set it to lower payout, it wont that much.

Do you have to make 2 sales each from 2 different ones or will 1 sale each from 2 different ones work? I have not used Clickbank at all.

That's one thing I was thinking about too. what if the program closes or the advertiser stops having their program? Then you would lose money that you should have received.

Some people like saving more so they set their payout threshold higher, that way the money coming in gets stockpiled and they have more to get during the payout. I guess it would be wise to set your threshold higher if your purpose is to save big amounts, but if you doubt the affiliate program you joined, I guess it would be wise to set it to a lower threshold and try to withdraw your money every now and then.

I like saving money myself but I was just worried that if there was any kind of problem then I might lose the money or if there was some kind of closure of a program then I might lose it.
