That caught your eye, didn't it? Wednesday evening, we rolled out the first of a series of improvements to the way we pay you.
So, what's new in this update?
Online W-9 Form. Before we can pay you, we need to have your SSN or EIN on file. Up till now, that entailed downloading the W-9 from the government's website, printing it, filling it out and faxing it in. Now, through the magic of the interweb, we collect that information directly online via your dashboard (Account > Payment Settings > Tax Information).
Payouts through PayPal. We now have the ability to electronically transfer money directly to your PayPal account. All you have to do is select "PayPal" as your payment method, and enter your PayPal email address (Account > Payment Settings > Payment Method). If you don't have a PayPal account, visit https://www.paypal.com to sign-up. It is free! As an added incentive, if you elect to receive payouts by PayPal, instead of by check, we will reduce the monthly minimum from $500 to $100.
Online Mailing Address. If you decide you want to continue to receive good ol' fashion'd paper checks in the mail, select "Check" as your payment method in the dashboard (Account > Payment Settings > Payment Method). Fill out the form to tell us where we should send the check, and to whom it should be addressed.
