US taxes guide for non-US affiliate marketers

When doing affiliate marketing for U.S. companies, one of the trickiest things for a non-U.S. Internet marketer is to figure out the whole U.S. taxation system.

I’ve written about the challenges that non-native english blogger faces, but that is nothing compared to the confusion that surrounds the U.S. taxation system. Seems that no-one has clarified the issue once and for all, and thus everyone is guessing.

Now You Can Start a Mailing List for Free!

You have probably seen the people talking about setting up a mailing list or an autoresponder system for your blog, right?

But what if you want to send special newsletters for your readers and not just the latest posts you put on your blog? Nope, sending the mails manually is not good, so you need a system for it.

Getting Started with Writing and Marketing eBooks

E-book, or eBook like I like to type it out, is a great way to publish easily shareable information. eBook is a book readable on personal computers or other devices like mobiles or E-book readers. Easiest way to create and publish an eBook is to convert a document into PDF-file, which can be read with variety of software and devices.

As anyone can write an eBook, it has become a popular method to self-publish a book. Getting a publishing deal for a book is hard, and getting a book printed, delivered and marketed is not only expensive but big effort too. Online, you can write a document, publish it in a downloadable format and you instantly become a published author!
