Amazon.com vs. States – associates lose
I’ve already made my decision about being dropped as an Amazon associate (along with all the others in North Carolina). I don’t care what happens. I’m done with Amazon.com.
Others, especially those who earn a lot more from Amazon.com than I do, disagree. They’re still trying to fight the NC proposed tax legislation, and/or they’re moving out of NC to continue their business in a different state.
I don’t intend to keep posting about this topic, but I just learned that Amazon.com associates in Rhode Island are facing what I just went through, and other states are considering something similar.
I’m not going to do the research to write a comprehensive article about this, so let me link to three stories that you may want to read if you’re an associate with Amazon.
What Makes Affiliate Tax (aka “Amazon Tax”) Unconstitutional
Amazon terminates North Carolina affiliates – be sure to read the comments, too.
So, there it is.
Don’t be surprised if affiliate marketing continues to get more difficult in the near future.
Act on your dream!
