The mistake: reading the gross number and forgetting fees

The mistake: reading the gross number and forgetting fees

New here? The commission shown is rarely what lands in your bank. Beginners budget on the big number and feel short later.

Check three quiet leaks:
— Payout fees (some networks charge per withdrawal).
— Currency conversion if you're paid in another currency.
— Minimum payout thresholds that hold your money until you hit them.

Example: dashboard says $50/mo. A $2 payout fee and 3% conversion leave about $46.50. Over a year that's roughly $42 you didn't plan for.

In plain English: the price on the menu isn't the price after tip and tax.

Today: find your program's payout method, minimum threshold, and any fee, and write the three numbers down.
