The mistake: earning real money you can't withdraw yet

The mistake: earning real money you can't withdraw yet

New to recurring? Many programs hold your money until you reach a minimum payout (a threshold), like $50 or $100. Beginners get discouraged seeing "earnings" they can't touch.

Plan around it:
— Find the minimum payout amount before you start.
— Estimate how many months of recurring it takes to cross it.
— Avoid programs with a $100 threshold if you'll only make $8/mo for a while.

Example: you earn $8/mo and the threshold is $100. You won't see a payment for about 13 months. A program with a $20 threshold pays you far sooner.

In plain English: the piggy bank won't open until it's full enough.
