Weak Dollar Killing Euro WMs?

[hazel]

Hi All,

Seems that the US and Canadian WMs won't have noticed the steady decline of the greenback over the last year or so, but many a European (especially UK) Webmaster has seen their income drop off quite dramatically. If the buck gets any weaker we'll all have to get a 'proper job'

Saw this over a RevShare Hosting. Should be a worry to any Euro newbies using their space:

"As of January 1st we will be changing the minimum for check payout to $50 for US/Canadian webmasters and $100 for International webmasters. Revshare Hosting is paying our webmasters directly on more and more programs, with payouts twice each month it’s just not cost effective to send out these smaller checks so often"

The cruncher, to me anyway, is the last part of the last line - "...
just not cost effective to send out these smaller checks so often". $100 at he exchange rate, plus transaction charges, works out at about £45 - A night out with maybe a bag of chips (fries), and without a taxi home!

At the thick end of $2 to £1, and getting worse, how long will it be before smaller WMs give it up because it just don't pay?

When does that retard in the White House retire? |pissleft|
