I’ve seen many people asking whether they should upgrade their membership or not. Most of the programs offer larger income opportunity for their members if they upgrade their membership. Some provide higher rates per ads clicked/read, some become more generous with referral bonus, and some give tens folds more ads available to click/read.

While sometimes the upgrade cost itself is not low enough to allow us acting without thinking about it first, we need to consider some factors before we take a step further expanding our home business.

First, watch closely for their vital signs. Where do they lead? If you’re not sure they’re going to make it through half a year, pass ‘em!

If everything is their stats look good, see how upgrading can help you reach payout faster. Here are the options usually offered:

• More ads/emails to click/read
• Free referrals to increase your earning
• Increase your commission per click/read
• Increase your referral commission
• Free or discounted advertising for upgraded members
• Lower minimum payout

Then calculate how long before your upgrade expense is covered. A fine program with a good system and high sign-up rate will do it in 1-2 months. The last but not least is, always do a research by reading other’s testimonials on their experience upgrading their membership on certain programs. Read how long before they get their investment returned, how’s their recommendation and how satisfied they are with the result.

How about you? Do you always upgrade every time there’s a chance no matter what? What do you mostly get from upgrading?
