    How much weight to the payment options have when you're considering an affiliate program to promote? Which ones do you like to see?

    I like Direct Deposit the best, but am very particular giving out my bank info. The affiliate program has to be an established one with a stellar track record.

    Next, I pick PayPal. Many affiliate programs use this and it is convenient. (I was actually surprised to see you use epassport and webmoney for your program. They are not really that popular.)

    Lastly, checks, just because they take longer.

    The best affiliate programs use several payment options. If you are trying to come up with ideas then simply look at what others do on their systems and take from the best of each and use them for yours.

    direct deposit all the way baby, if the company is reputable. If it's like a small network, paypal all the way. Then checks.

    Paypal or cheques are fine, As long as with their cheques they are on time and follow a similar timing each time.

    Nothing worse then having to wait 20 or 30 days for them to issue a cheque and then not having it arrive for another 15 days.

    It doesn't matter to me, as long as I receive the money.

    It would probably be the last item on my checklist, if I even put it on the checklist.

    If a program interests me, I'll still promote it if they only offer checks, but I do prefer direct deposit and PayPal.

    But it also depends on how timely the payments are to begin with!

    Can't go wrong with paypal, direct debit, or cheque payments as long as they pay on time! Totally depends on the website though, different ones suit different websites..
