Question regarding taxes

Hey All,
I'm strongly considering doing local marketing, advertising a certain product in my area and then referring people back to my site. I would be an affiliate of a particular company. I'm from the U.S., but the company is stationed in Hong Kong.
Thus, I'm beginning to think of necessary tax procedures. I read that the W-9 form is a necessary form for the "employer" to handle (which maybe doesn't apply to persons in Hong Kong?) and then that a 1099 form needs to be filled out by the affiliate who lives in the U.S. What about any of you U.S. folks. How do you do your taxes? How do you handle this affiliate stuff?
I'm just asking asking, because I wanna be sure to cover all my bases.
Thanks, guys!
