History of the Advertising Tax
I came across this video created by Affiliate Marketing expert and veteran, Shawn Collins posted on his Affiliate (Tip) blog earlier this week. It covers the basic background of the advertising tax, how it impacts affiliates and merchants, and provides a few simple suggestions on what you can do to take action on this very important issue within the affiliate marketing industry.
The legislation being enacted in several states is no doubt an issue that has made a significant impact on affiliate partners and merchants across our country. I'll be posting more updates and information on the advertising tax in the near future.
In the meantime, you can join the Facebook group Fight Against the Advertising Tax if you would like to become involved or learn more about how this issue is effecting the affiliate marketing industry.
For the latest updates and information on affiliate marketing become a fan of Shawn Collins on Facebook and follow @AffiliateTip on Twitter.
