<b>The payout threshold: where small recurring earnings get stuck</b>

New to recurring? Here's a beginner trap nobody warns you about. The payout threshold is the minimum you must earn before the company actually sends you money. With small monthly commissions, you can sit just under it for a while.

1. You earn $6/month from your first referral. Slow but real.
2. The threshold is $50. You won't see a cent until you cross it.
3. That's month nine — unless you add more referrals to climb faster.

<i>In plain English:</i> recurring earnings are real from day one, but the money waits behind a gate until your total clears the threshold.

Worked example: same $6/month referral, but the program has a $20 threshold instead of $50 — you get paid in month four. The lower gate matters as much as the rate when you're starting.

Tiny action: look up the payout threshold of your main program today. Lower is friendlier for beginners.
