@lisa3876, probably what happened, Lisa, was Cali’s governor was surfing YouTube, saw your video and THEN read my comment and was like, Man, they’re totally right. We gotta get this fixed right away. Next day, he repealed the law. I’m pretty sure that’s how it went down.
Hell 90k a year, time to move to another state.
@webduncetv Awesome! Thanks for sharing!
Good news! Amazon Affiliate home page indicates that California has repealed the law and Amazon’s Affiliate program is open to California now and they are now inviting California residents whose accounts were closed to re-enroll.
The government has taken control of everything, even eBay now in 2011.. If you sell products, sooner or later you’ll be forced to file a W-9 after making a certain amount. And many of the sites I work with are doing the same thing.. I don’t agree with the whole idea because the internet should be a free market place..
@giftedwoman777 Check out Change.org and start a campaign there
Weren’t the states getting quarterly or annual income tax revenues from these people? Whenever I file my taxes, I state my income and then there’s a state & a federal tax. Now the states have lost the income tax. I wonder how many of those people who lost their businesses went on state welfare… that was kind of messed up on the part of Amazon too, but I guess they wanted to make a statement and somebody always has to suffer to make a statement… eg. Rosa Parks, but look what she started!
This is exactly why I set up my own advertising on my own site.
Great video Lisa… I live in Rhode Island and Amazon dropped us along with a bulk of other Merchants…. I’m ready to go back to Louisiana (home) ##sigh##
As always a wealth of information! Thanks Lisa!
Thanks for elucidating this! I heard about this a couple of months ago and was confused why states were doing it. To me it looks like they’re taking away more jobs rather than making more revenue.
@blktrekie29 It is an address/person in the state you’ve formed the LLC that legal notices etc. can be sent to. Someone else can probably explain it better but that is the gist of it. Some people use their lawyer as an agent of record.
THANKS FOR THE HEADS UP.
@jspukman What’s an agent of record?
@giftedwoman777 Someone listed a website on her facebook page to contact your representatives. Whoismyrepresentative … is the website
@jerrylittlemars People did get organized in IL and Governor Quinn passed the tax anyway. There were at least two businesses that left the state because of the tax, taking 101 jobs out of the state. Quinn knew about it ahead of time and did not care.
@blktrekie29 Having an LLC only helps if you form the business in another state without nexus laws and you have to have a physical address in that state with an agent of record in the state.
hey lisa these are some great videos to learn different aspects of the online biz world (so to say) now with that said, how and where do you get the time to do all this stuff? eg: researching, the videos, advertising and all the rest.. do you have a set schedule and if so what scheduling software do you use?? thanx charlie

Ok. Today i was unable to post any hoplinks. Now I understand what happened. Great.
Howdy Lisa, Good to see some videos from you again
.
How can we fight this? Is there a link or a site. I have no problem protesting this. Government is getting greedier by the minute while they are not stewards of the billions they are already collecting distributing even more money and giving too many tax cuts to the wealthy along with government waste. It makes me sick.
Lisa, i really appreciate your work , thank you , you are helping me very much. May you always be a happy HAPPY person and may other people help you everywhere you go.
thank you Lisa
I agree freelancers need more political power or at least better organization. Maybe one-third of all jobs are freelance, yet we have no voice. We pay twice as much tax as everyone else–totally unfair when huge corporations like General Electric basically pay ZERO. Tax loopholes, shell corporations, offshore accounts, whatever they do–I don’t know–but without teams of lawyers and tricky accountants, how can we compete? Thanks for taking the time to give this issue some attention!
