Rebuild. I know it sucks, but you can’t let the idiots in the NC Leg push you around. Rebuild, diversify, do what you can. I do more work FOR affiliates than affiliate work for myself, but it still has an impact on me.

My site was exclusively Amazon. Needless to say, I have nothing now. What a dum idea.

Thank you for your comment. My Senator (Rouzer) had a positive response – he’s against all new taxes and tax increases. But the problem is so much bigger than just taxation. It’s a fundamental misunderstand on the part of politicians (not all) of how today’s economy works. Gov Perdue PROVED her misunderstanding of the #ncaffiliatetax when she said to News14:

�I will be very surprised if any of the major click through retailers refuse to sell to our state, which is the seventh largest in America,� she said.

Really? Because the way I understand it, all of us in NC will still be able to buy from Amazon.com. We just won’t be able to do it through any NC affiliates. Meaning there will be no taxed affiliate/advertising revenue in NC.

Nobody is refusing to sell to our state – that’s absurd. Get a clue Bev Perdue.

Let me guess…you got no response either?

It amazes me that with the millions of dollars this state is spending to support illegals, they decide to do something that will guarantee to put many NC small businesses out of business. I just spent 3 months building affiliate links to a new website – for nothing apparently since other linking companies (like Blue Nile), are already dropping NC residents.

And there is SO much other work available in Siler City…..

Good luck….
