Payout Request Format or example

Recently, a discussion on members being banned for 
rude payout requests has prompted this blog post. 
(Am at my wits' end to understand - when you do all the hard work, 
why throw it away by being rude? My brain couldnt compute)

I believe most communication that seems rude in nature 
is not always intentional but a lack of language skills.

I was also asked - is it fair or right for admins to do this?

Unfortunately, it is an unregulated line of business 
and up to the admins.

We can compare it to the restaurant business 
that has - Rights of Admission.

If you misbehave, you can be asked to leave.
Not just behaviour, clothing etc., we know what is allowed and what is not.

Therefore, Yes, being rude can make an admin ban, 
even if you don't think it is fair.  
 

After speaking to a few admins, and seeing the messages,
here are some common messages that are considered impolite (borderline rude):

1. Pay Me
2. Admin, I want payment

3. Blah, Blah (criticize) and then say by the way, my payment is due …

4. Repeated reminders

5. Why are you taking so long to pay????? 

6. Usage of too many question marks and exclamations … 

7. Sending repeated tickets without checking
responses from admin in emails (Yes, omg, there are several)

And, you may say that you have been paid by some admins 
(even with these types of messages).
Thank your stars for such admins who have a broader 
understanding of language issues, the world, culture etc.

My point is - why take that chance or give a reason to be banned
when your hardwork and money is at stake?

Here is a sample payout request format you can use when requesting payment

(Red text - the basic components it should contain)

Greeting 

Dear Admin or Hello Admin (usage of names is also ok, leave it up to you) or
Greetings of the day, Admin.

Giving Thanks 

Thank you for giving me a wonderful opportunity to earn.  

(yes, thank them - it is a no brainier- they work 24/7 
to keep their site running for you to earn) 

Newsflash - If you think surfing is a rocket science (niche) skill! 
and justifies the above messages ...
You should seek counseling and medical help.

I mean this in the nicest possible way, understand the skill level needed to surf.  
Very very important!

Suggestions if any (optional)
 

Good opportunity to showcase yourself 
when you suggest something for the site.

May 10th 2024 at 4:50 AM by Clare Bowen This is a very good post Mona! I don't have this experience, due to paying commissions without the need to request. But I do agree that in any professional communication, people should be courteous, and this works both ways. Members to owners, and owners to members. In addition to that. Owners must respect members by sticking to their terms and paying on time accordingly. I think sometimes owners cause anger and disappointment among members. At the very least, some explanation for late payouts should be placed prominently if that is going to be the case. In addition, changing payout terms can annoy members. Respect is a two-way street basically. Anyway, thanks very much for this, and for all your helpful posts.

May 12th 2024 at 12:14 PM by Mona Menezes Thank you, Clare 🌸 Yes, we appreciate that we dont have to request for payment at Easy! 😊Many thanks for your views and for being a great admin!

May 12th 2024 at 1:26 PM by Ves Cvijanovic Hello Mona.... Great post and very up-to-date. Some owners really don't want to pay surfers, so they make up to pay in gold that surfers have upgraded from. It's really stupid, and at the same time very rude of the owner. The owners want to upgrade because they turn that gold into money, but at the same time they don't want to pay in cash. I'm a very correct surfer on every site I surf, but as soon as I sent another payout request came the answer that it doesn't need to be sent again.

May 12th 2024 at 1:26 PM by Ves Cvijanovic Yes, he paid me and blocked my IP address in the same second, even though I had an annual upgrade on some of his sites, and a lifetime upgrade on one. I regularly upgraded to the others. I'm very happy that he blocked me because I don't want to deal with such people anymore.
