    Sorry if I am a bit new but, when they say "Minimum Payout: 25$" does that mean you have to pay 25$ or is that the minimum you need to earn to recieve a payment?

    Thanks

    You have to have earned that amount before they sent you a check/eft. If you havent then the money will roll over till next month(or however their system works) and accumalate untill you reach the threshold. most affiliate companies let you change this value higher to accumalte larger moneys.

    Yes you have to earn at least that amount to receive a check from the affiliate program. Most are free to join so there is nothing to loose to just check them out!:)

    That is roughly the same format that my affiliate program directory uses: "Min Payout: $25" is more like my format.

    I can clearly say that most affiliate programs are free to join. The min payout is for the amount that you have to earn before they pay their affiliates.

    So if it is $25 then you have to accumulate that before they will release your payment.

    Just incase it was my site that you saw it on then the "Min Payout: No Minimum" means that you get paid no matter how much money you have earned, but you will only get paid when they actually pay. Sometimes they may pay once a month, 2 times a month, etc. But if you don't think you can reach the minimum payout, but can actually get 1 or 2 sales, then the programs that pay a no minimum payout level are fine for you.

    I'll stop babbling on now.
