This is a very good news. But now there will be more competition as number of affiliates will increase.

I’m lovin’ my Amazon associates earnings and was just silently praying that I’d be able to manage my money effectively on a quarterly basis, now that my revenue is increasing.

Then lo and behold Amazon had an email in my inbox saying they’d be paying out monthly in 2007!

Hallelujah! Monthly earnings are easier to manage than quarterly earnings. And then there’s that whole time value of money thing we learned about in accounting class…

This is an excellent change for me.

How can you say the new payment system is not that much different? After the first 60 days pass, you get paid monthly! The tiers are basically unchanged but there will be more volatility due to a shorter time period. I use Amazon on 2 blogs. It’s tough to get sales started but can you can do quite well with targeted links.

Amazon Goes From Quarterly To Monthly Payment…

Amazon has announced that starting in 2007 it will be changing its payout from a quarterly payout schedule to a monthly payout schedule. This is a huge change for Amazon after sticking to the quarterly payout schedule for so long……

Another note in the email worth mentioning was that affiliates could continue to earn referrals gift certificate through March 31st, 2007 instead of only through the end of this month.

I certainly have to agree, that “check processing fee” sounds like a complete ripp-off. Payday loan companies get all kinds of bad press for that kind of thing, and here’s a legitimate company doing the same thing. I notice they didnt put THAT little announcement in bold near the top for review.

I have found the Amazon program to not be that good.
For example if someone finds something through your link or website and puts it in their cart, and buys it the next day, you lose out on the commission because they waited 24 hours.

I think 30 days is better. Amazon would have not recieved the purchase many times without your website yet you only get 24 hours to close the deal.

I have lost out on many sales this way.

Also the check processing fee is outrageous. I don’t receive checks anymore so it doesn’t affect me, but bukle this with the above policy and Amazon does not put a huge emphasis on their publishers.
