If you have ever looked into affiliate marketing, you may have noticed that there is usually some sort of payment threshold you have to reach before you are eligible for payment. Although it may seem like 
some sort of shady practice on the part of the affiliate program manager, this is usually not what's going on. Read on to learn about affiliate program payout threshold - pros and cons so you can determine whether you are comfortable selling products for a company that has a high threshold for payout.
Reduction of paperwork is one benefit to affiliate managers of having a high payment threshold. Every time they make a payment, entries must be made into their computer system and paperwork is created that must be filed. Fewer payments mean less paperwork. They also mean lower fees from payment processors such as Paypal. The best reason of all for setting the threshold for payment high is to protect the affiliate from people who want to sign up, buy the product through their own affiliate link and cheat the person who made the referral out of his commission.
By making the minimum payment higher than the amount that would be earned as the commission from one sale, the program manager can drastically reduce the number of fraudulent purchases by people who just want to save a few bucks. However, when there is too large a difference between the per sale commission amount and the affiliate payment threshold you run the risk of never making enough sales to receive your payment.
Some program managers set their minimum payout so high that it takes several sales to receive a check. If it takes more than a few sales to get your money, you have to evaluate the odds of your making enough sales to receive your commissions. If you have to make ten sales to qualify for a payment, you might want to reconsider selling that company's product and choose one that is more likely to result in a payment.
One option you might consider is to sign as an affiliate for a company that offers many different products to sell. This way, you can promote all of the products and hopefully you earn enough commissions between them to reach the affiliate payout threshold. This will enable you to enjoy the protection that goes along with a high payout without so much risk that you won\'t make enough money to get paid.
One thing you should look for when evaluating an Internet marketing program is a warning against buying the product through your own link. The program should make it clear that this practice is not tolerated and that there are controls that have been implemented to catch cheaters. By having this on their site, the program manager makes it clear that they are willing to put forth the effort required to make sure that affiliates get the commissions that they have earned.
