Provide/Pays Out

Hi

I have two questions

1. This job will provide you with a steady income each month

--- Do I need "with" in the sentence above?

2. This program has been on the market for many years and it pays out commissions like clockwork?

--- Is everything OK with the sentence above?

Thanks

  • The "steady income" is presumably not received each month, but is instead the consequence of regular payments month after month.
  • Consider saying "steady monthly income" instead.

2. Yes, but check whether "program" is the best word.
