Is it worth getting a business license if I am just starting out?

    I just started out in blogging and started a blog about investing in stocks called TradingGrowth.com.

    I am gonna use AdSense and Amazon for income right now. But the main affiliate program I wanted to join was Investors Business Daily. But they work with Commission Junction which requires a business license.

    Do you guys think its worth it for a beginner to get a biz license if they are literally just starting out? Should I wait to build my traffic up and make money on Adsense and amazon before i get the license?

    You don't have to have business license to join CJ. You can use your SSN to fill W9 form and get paid.

    Business licenses are generally a concern of either your city, county or state government. Check with your local government to see if you need a business license. CJ just needs your tax id for a 1099.
