ForumCon 2 was a great Chicago conference put on by VigLink that attracted 165 forum owners, affiliates and forum services. I was asked to be on a panel to discuss the Affiliate Tax (aka Amazon Tax) with Brian Littleton, founder ShareaSale, and Steve Thayer, attorney.
My story is pretty simple: I’m an affiliate publisher that drives traffic to eBay and Amazon. I built a site which generated $1,300 a month in revenue from Amazon within 5 months of startup. 30 minutes after Illinois passed the Affiliate Tax, I got a termination letter from Amazon Associate program.
Now my only option to regain Amazon revenue is to reincorporate in another state and take an office in Indiana.
