Does anyone know about (form w-BEN)

And- (Form W9 )

Do I need to fill out right now?

From what I understand, when they ask for business structure, answer with sole-proprietorship, use your full legal name as the business name, and use your social security number as your tax ID. If you are selling your own product on your site, you will need a state sales tax ID, and if you are using a name other than your full legal name you will need a fictitious name certificate.

You should put individual if you are able to. The w-Ben is for us foreigners and the W9 is for natives. The website you need to visit is http://www.irs.gov and look up their forms. Good luck to you if you can understand them. I just looked at what you needed in W9, nothing counted for me so I provided my Aussie tax file number. And if you have no US obligations say no to withholding tax if you submit another tax file number.

W9 for US persons says

Use Form W-9 to request the taxpayer identification number (TIN) of a U.S. person (including a resident alien) and to request certain certifications and claims for exemption. (See Purpose of Form on Form W-9.) Withholding agents may require signed Forms W-9 from U.S. exempt recipients to overcome a presumption of foreign status. For federal purposes, a U.S. person includes but is not limited to:
1) An individual who is a U.S. citizen or U.S. resident alien,
2) A partnership, corporation, company, or association created or organized in the United States or under the laws of the United States,
3) Any estate (other than a foreign estate), or
4) A domestic trust (as defined in Regulations section 301.7701-7).

Thanks Helen for this information. I am proceeding with caution. A couple days of reading things through should be ok. This is all very new to me, and it's the Internet, good and bad stuff happens.

I think governments and businesses hire people to write this stuff so you can't possibly understand it!

It depends on what country you are in as to how you do this. If you are not in the states and you need a hand just pm me. I had some hiccups and the affiliate network helped me out.

I asked Kyle earlier at the way beginning. I guess for Wealthy Affiliate, you don't have to fill out a W9 form now.
But for affiliate program like ShareaSale.com, yes I'd just needed to fill out to show my employment status and income status. If you don't have tax ID and for the first time, you need one. From my understanding, once your earnings reach $600, you should consider to fill out such form, also available in IRS.gov You can make sure, and read about it.
Anyone wants to help GailS on this question?
You are working and you earn a lot, U.S. Government will need tax from you. Learn as you go. Good luck

That is correct!

besides copyright?

I don't think so at all place a few around the wording to break up your content

Rules for claiming healing also

Hi Gail,

As far as rules for placement, you want a fair amount of white space to balance with the pictures and text. When making a post, 1-2 pics are nice. When creating content, I sprinkle about 3 or so throughout the content for each page. It's better to be more conservative because our sites are not just being looked at on computer but on phones and pictures take time to load so you don't want to lose a potential customer to a slow loading site that has too many pictures. Hope that helps.

Thank you.

I used an eagle with permission on my herbs site. I feel its ok since I do and did spend alot of time in the Bush researching plants. To me it's just a big bird. It's just stuff I see out there. Trying to make it interesting. Maybe, a tritium would be better. I am still ,moving my stuff around I would feel terrible if I offered someone over a picture I would feel very sad.

If you have ruled out a copywrite issue there should be no other limits. Be careful to not use pics you took of others without their permission and keep it relevant to your niche.

Thank you.

Not really sure what you are asking. Can you be a bit more clear?

i am trying to put siterubix onto my purchased domain.

Glad to see you got a response on this quickly. This is what I love about the community!

Hi Gail! -

How are you?

You need to watch this video! :)


Thank you for your help!

You are very Welcome Gail!

I must ask -- Have you now sorted transfered your domain name?

I don't think it moved totally.

That's a shame Gail -- Are you going to watch the video again - and give it another try?

It said congratulations you did it. I saw the that it had moved something by checking the health of it. I just pressed the refresh and now I see the pic moved. Maybe, it's just slow.

Maybe -- As long as you followed the steps in the video -- I am sure it will be okay.

You maybe waiting for the dns to propagate - of course!

You might have to wait upto 48 hours -- But hopefully not! :)

Where did you purchase your domain? I will get you help.

How do I transfer herbalactions.siterubix onto new website? Do they not become one? Thank you for your help. Verymuch appreciated!!!

You won't put Siterubix onto your domain. Your newly purchased domain will replace your Siterubix.

I started this yesterday. Worked with cheap name they said wait 24hr and it will be done. It's past 24 hrs. I feel that I made a mistake.

Okay, we'll get it fixed. Do you see your website in the Site Manager? What is your url?

Okay, I see it is still the Siterubix...just follow the video I sent and you will be set. Sometimes the change takes effect right away.
