Preferred Methods of Affiliate Commissions in 2013

November 15, 2013 by Shawn Collins

Affiliates were asked “How many affiliate programs are you currently promoting?” for the 2013 Affiliate Summit AffStat Report.

The most popular response, at 53.6%, was direct deposit, followed by 28.1% for PayPal.

Then there were 15% who still like getting a check, as well as 1.3% favoring wires, another 1.3% who stated other, and just 0.7% for store credit.

I used to be big on getting checks, because I liked the psychological part of feeling the money as it came in. But then I was noticing that it was becoming a hassle to make trips to the bank.

Direct deposit is definitely a nice option, as well as PayPal for the small number of programs where I’ve got it as an option.

I do still have some checks in, but I may as well change those over to direct deposit, because I just deposit them by phone now, and that brief process, as well as the chance of misplacing them has become a nuisance.

More than sixteen-hundred affiliates were surveyed on their methods, preferences, and strategies for the 2013 Affiliate Summit AffStat Report.
