California Affiliates Terminated by Amazon: Read This!!
Hi everyone,
All of you who do affiliate marketing must know about the affiliate nexus tax laws that have been passed in various states - California being the most recent. All of you affiliate marketers based in California (myself included) recently suffered the devastating effects of this law when Amazon and other companies massively dropped us from their affiliate programs.
Well, there may be a light at the end of the tunnel for all of us California affiliate marketers. The Performance Marketing Association (PMA) with the blessings of Amazon has put together a ballot that is now asking for the help of California-based affiliates (and non-affiliates as well). They need a certain amount of signatures (I believe it's 300,000) requesting for the affiliate nexus tax law to go to a referendum.
If enough people sign the ballot: a) the law will be put on hold until the referendum next year, and b) the referendum will give the people of California the option to decide if they want the law repealed or not.
Even if the referendum does not result in a repeal of the law, at the very least we can have Amazon and the other companies back on our affiliate sites for at least another year.
So I would like to encourage everyone concerned to sign the ballot and encourage others (colleagues, friends, relatives etc.) to sign it too - spread the word. The only pre-requisite to sign is that you must be a registered California voter.
Once you sign the online form, the ballot will be mailed to the address you provide and you will then have to mail it back in the pre-paid envelope hat you will receive. Each ballot can be signed by up to 3 people, so if you think you may be able to get more people to sign it, order more than one ballots.
The form to request the ballot can be accessed here:
