Sorry No Amazon Affililiate Program For You
Hey Y'all
Just a quick note for some of our new members here in the U.S. hoping to become Amazon affiliates.
The bad news:
If you happen to reside in these six states you will be denied.
- Louisiana
Arkansas
Missouri
Maine
Vermont
Rhode Island
These six states have passed legislation taxing on-line businesses for their sales. This seems to have been brought about by brick and mortar stores feeling that they were at a disadvantage by having to tax their products. And in my opinion the states seizing another opportunity to generate revenue.
There is good news!
There are several other affiliate programs that you can take advantage of.
eBay has a great Affiliate program with several different ways to monetize it. Here is a link to some excellent ways to take advantage of the opportunities at eBay from Robert aka Boomergp08. https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/boomergp08

ShareAsale has a choice of 1,000's of merchants to fit any niche you might be promoting. Once you apply and are accepted it is relatively easy to find the ones that are a fit for you. Here is a little road map to help you once inside. https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/dreamer56/blog/sha...

These are just a few. There is also
- Commission Junction
- Click Bank
One of the quickest way to find affiliate programs is your friend and mine (or at least we want them to be) Google.
If for some reason you can not join the Amazon program it is in no way the end of the world there are several other ways to monetize your site.
Have a Fun and Productive Weekend
Until next time,

Interesting....I do have an Amazon Affiliate account but I am in Florida. I did not realize that about the 6 states. Good to know. I sell on eBay but did not know about the affiliate program. Now I know.......Thanks, Tim!
You are welcome Patricia. Thanks for taking the time to read my post. Hope all is going well for you.

Thanks for the update. I'm not in the US but maybe I too can use one of these affiliates. Not sure if I'll be able to continue using Amazon.co.uk for much longer...
Thanks for reading Liz. There is always a way sometimes we have to work a little harder to find it. That is what makes it fun!
