Slow Paying programs
What is your tolerance for late payments from programs as an affiliate? I have been hesitant in breaking bridges for a long time.
When I contact programs about late payments they usually reply something like "others pay later than us ... you should be OK with this". Others are more professional and apologize, but keep paying later and later ... and then there are those that blame others like their dog who ate the bank dongle or issues with Paxum, Zombaio, UPS and so on.
After months and years of keeping support to legacy sponsors, I have cut down on sending traffic to sponsors that pay later than 2 or 3 weeks. There is just no reason for them to pay affiliates later than that. Every company should be able to shoulder expenses for 3 or 4 months in advance. They won't be able to get any return from letting funds sit in their bank account, either.
As a result on putting more effort into timely paying sponsors and cutting down links on late payers my revenue has increased, significantly. Hope my experience may help others in putting more efforts into timely paying sponsors. Cheers.
