March 18, 1999 Making and Saving Money: getting paid

When/How Do You Get Paid?
Some companies pay you in cash, others pay in store credit, and still others offer both options. Some companies pay you in credit or cash with every purchase, while others pay out only after you have accumulated $US50 or $US100 in commission. Make sure to carefully read the guidelines of each program you sign up for, since the terms and commission rates vary considerably.

Saving Money
Of course, it's always nice to save money! Well, joining Tripod's various affiliate programs is an easy way to save mucho dinero! If you buy products through your own site's affiliate links, you'll earn credit or cash, depending on the program. It's almost like getting a discount or rebates on your purchases! Plus, many of the online commerce sites have better prices than retail stores, so you will be saving twice over!
