Hey my sweet readers, how ya'll feeling today? :) <3
I might need to ask you guys for an advice on my small issue of living in Europe. :p
Denied by the USA.
Since my preference is to make sure the online biz runs smoothly and legally, I have learned that you need an ITIN number so the commissions can be paid to you.
Shortly after the research, I've sent an application to the USA and requested my ITIN.
It took them over 4 weeks to reply, and their reply was: "We have denied your application, please send us your real passport instead of a copy".
There's no way I'm sending my real documents to America, so I officially cannot earn any revenue from my website (unless the person, who buys the items, is also from Europe).
PLAN B! ...PLAN Z!

My only plan B at the moment is to make my site fully Europe-centered instead of global.
I'm not really sure how to do it properly, it got me off track and I haven't worked on my site for the whole month since that reply from the USA...
...(in the same month I got fired from my job - it went bankrupt, with no more income - I had to cancel an important surgery, and I'm barely holding the roof above my head, so it's like - all at once).
I've searched WA blogs, for people from Europe, for mentors, and I must say, there's not many, and they never reply (nor they get along very well haha).
Stucky Stuck :O
I, honestly have no clue what to do now, feeling a bit lost.
I'll keep doing research and see how can I make this all work.
Worst case scenario, I'll have to leave WA (since it's obviously US centered, for the biggest part) and join an European affiliate community...but I think it can still work via WA... just don't know how yet. :p
Whew, thanks for reading my rumbling guys haha, I'll try to post more when I can - gotta find a real job asap for now!
Not giving up yet!
Big hugs! I appreciate you!
Angie. =^.^=
