I'm kicking the tires on e-junkie.com and payloadz.com this week for selling digital goods and they both have a built in affiliate program for you. So if I sell an ebook, it has a built in system so others can sell my ebook for a commission. My own mini affiliate program if you will. However, I'm confused by how to set this up to track for my finances. I'm not asking for specific tax advice, simply a high level understanding of who pays taxes on what? Do I need to get the SSN or tax id of every one of my affiliates? What if my affiliates are from other countries besides the US? Do I send my top affiliates a 1099 every year? Does anybody have any experience or advice with running your own mini affiliate program? What about any links to tutorials on the subject? Thanks Ya'll
Wow, not a single reply yet. Not even the people that offered the programs had much to say: Payloadz response: Sorry payloadz but a quick google search turns up nothing. E-junkie response: Certainly this has been discussed somewhere on the net before?
