I am seriously thinking of getting into YPN but given that i am not from US and dont have U.S. Social Security or Tax ID Number. I have a very slim chance of getting into the program under my name. I was invited for by a Yahoo rep to join YPN beta a few years ago, i got to register and view the YPN console for a few days but the compliance team noticed that i am not from US so they had to cancel my account. Is there an option for a non-US citizen to apply for YPN? i am thinking of asking a friend from US to register under his name. What are the pros and cons of doing method above. One important issue is tax deductions, does YPN auto-deduct taxes before payout? Any yahoo rep here? I would appreciate any inputs, advice, tips etc. If you dont want it in public, feel free to PM me anytime
There is a chance but there is a cost of $2000 first year, and $500 every subsequent year. I wrote an extensive procedure a few months back. You can open a company in USA online, get EIN (SSN equivalent for company) and use all the company info to sign up YPN. This is perfectly legal and is not a loophole. Yahoo would treat your account as a legal US company, and that means you will have to pay US tax. Anyway, I wonder what is the point now as YPN pays a lot less than Adense and BidVertiser? Just join the other networks, you'll be earning the same if not more.
