Hello,
I think most of new to Internet marketing people (affiliates) would prefer to get the payment as fast as possible. There are still a lot of people who are afraid for not receiving payments for their work. This fear appeared around year 2000 when most of 'get-paid-to-surf', etc. companies collapsed and most of people who were 'earning' money that way actually never got paid. So, immediate payments for new and small affiliates would really help. However, personally, I would prefer to receive money every few weeks. Why? It's because when you make a sale or two one day, then another day few sales, then another few sales the following day, etc. It would be just more convenient to receive a one payment at once.

Have a nice day,
Egidijus
