Whats the deal with Amazon

I have tried and tried to sign up as an associate. Finally I googled why Colorado wasn't on their list of states which is required to finish the application. From what I understand Colorado is banned from amazon due to tax issues with legislature.

So my next question is what is an alternative?

    Amazon is about as big as it gets with affiliate marketing potential on the widest selection of goods available. I'm also CO based. I read somewhere that you could set up a PO BOX and bank account in a different state, and become an affiliate that way. Haven't tried, but makes sense, if you really want to go that route.

    AvantLink Affiliate Network may be an option for you. They have a lot of different companies and products you can promote.

    You could try Squidoo if all else fails (i.e. the suggestions above). They allow you to use their Amazon account on the Lenses you create, but you split the profit.

      Steer clear of Squidoo unless you want to wake up one day and find your entire world has been crushed. There have been way too many people who have lost everything because Squidoo decided they wanted to ban them.

        I haven't heard of many people lost everything with Squidoo. Isn't the reason usually because the person either uses non original content or their lens are about a topic which isn't allowed. Blogger on the other hand, bans people for no reason.

            I've always been a little weary of Squidoo because of this. They seems to be pretty happy to shut down a lens for very minor reasons. That, and the fact that they take a pretty big chunk of your earnings by displaying their own affiliate links about half the time.

              Actually you are not losing anything by not promoting amazon affiliate products. I am working with shareasale, cj, ejunkie, and many other merchants who have their own affiliate membership setup, and from all those, amazon is the least. Only some bucks every months.

              For example, on shareasale, a merchant gives me 10% comission on solar panels, while amazon gives 4 or 6% on books, mobile apps, movies or games. Pheraps the commisions are ok for other good they sell, but, it is their affiliate policy. You will be paid only for products that are added to the shopping cart in the first session of the buyers visit to amazon. If he closes the amazon window, and after 5 minutes he comes again and buy something, you will not be paid.

                You can set up a company in another state and use that address. I'm from Colorado and make a good amount of money on Amazon.

    Get a new address with a maildrop. Maybe Amazon is more particular these days, but in the past this worked fine.

    I wouldn't miss up with Amazon (if you ever made a purchase through them in your state they will track you down).

    If you looking for other affiliated network (and there are many who pays off), I will suggest to check Ad Networks - CPA, CPM, CPL - Millionaire Makers..
