Paypal. Most other sites like this have the option of using Paypal, so I'm able to keep all earnings in one place. I also then use PayPal to fund any other expenses related to web income generating sites (like upgrade costs, advertising, etc.). I can therefore keep better track of my net profit from all the different sites that I use.

Every once in a while, a program will insist on only sending checks, so in those cases I just keep track of what I've earned and (thus far) subtract that from the $100 I had originally invested (I started out with a PTC site and spent a bunch on an upgrade and renting referrals). Once I wipe out that "debt", I may actually cash the checks and transfer to PayPal so as to keep better track of my net profits.

It's okay to mention it, just can't put any referral links, or things like that ;)

It really is a personal choice - either way you're getting paid which is the most important thing!
Paypal is quicker...as well as direct deposit.

Paypal is defintely more conevnient for me, but I opted for checks, as it looks more convincing to potential referrals than just a a screenshot of a paypal receipt.

I'd much rather use PayPal, that way you don't have to wait for a check to arrive, when you can just deposit the money directly through PayPal into your bank account or card.

paypal...agreed that it is faster, easier to track, and I can use the funds by transferring them to a brick and mortar account, online, or via a paypal debit card.  for the wee bit of fees, it's worth the convenience, and sometimes the fees are absorbed by the payor.  that's definitely nice!

Post by: mx3madman on February 25, 2010, 12:32:51 pm
   I would agree that Pay pal would be the faster way of getting your payment, I personally use direct deposit to my checking account that keeps the processing fees at pay pal.

I can tell you that checks are far more likely to have problems than PayPal or Direct Deposit.  It's not really possible to "lose" an electronic payment but checks get misdelivered/lost by the post office occasionally.  And if there's a problem with an electronic payment, you don't have to pay a $15 stop payment fee before you can have it reissued.  All in all, if you're worried about receiving your payment, I would recommend PayPal or Direct Deposit to minimize the (already very small) chance of problems occuring.

Now I thought this one through - I am getting checks by mail, as I have just become unemployed and if this is considered work, then I will need to claim it with the unemployment, so I would have to photocopy anything I receive.  Sometimes, I am just too honest, but it is better to be too honest than to lose my benefits once they actually start.   :BangHead:

I do direct deposit; used PAYPAL initially and its easy -- but with the potential of PAYPAL fees -- decided to switch to DD.  Never had a problem with eithor method.

It depends on your local laws but oftentimes you wont be penalized in any way for claiming (modest) income from FC.  So there's no reason NOT to do it... have a clear conscience and report your income!!  (not a lawyer & this is not tax advice)

direct deposit

it is the green choice.

i've gone to paperless billing.

i'm sure it doesn't help the post office and they have gone green in a way most don't realize and i do want to support them.

but then we need hydroelectric to power the servers and isp so that they can be paid electronically.

so which is really the greener choice?
