When you are researching how commissions are paid, you should also look at whether
program pays only on one level or more than one. These are called single-tier, two-tier or multi-tier. Some programs offer commissions down four or five tiers. The tiers are created when another person signs up as an affiliate using your link.
Another aspect of affiliate commissions is how often commissions will be paid. Some companies pay quarterly, while others pay monthly or bi-weekly, depending on amount of money owed to you.
The amount of commission owed to you also plays a part in when you are paid. Most companies do not pay until your accumulated commissions is $50 or more. A few companies do not pay first month, but pay one (or three) months after commission has actually been earned. Sometimes you can choose your own level when you sign up as an affiliate, but not often.
As you can see, there's a lot more information you need to know about affiliate commissions than getting them. Keep these things in mind when you choose affiliate programs to promote and it will help to increase 'your' commission revenue.
