An Appeal to North Carolinians
Daily I see fantastic Hubs here on HubPages and often authors include affiliate links from Amazon. Though it may somewhat take away from the content, if you're endeavoring to make money as I am, that content will lure the buyers to the product, making it a win/win. I desire to get a piece of the pie and post relevant products along side my paragraphs as others do. Yet, we cannot partake in this opportunity as residents of North Carolina.
I feel that the decision by North Carolina lawmakers was not wise and can understand why Amazon pulled its associate program out. This law was driven with profits in mind from taxes imposed upon N.C. Amazon Associates. Amazon was not on board and had not been collecting the nearly 6% in sales tax as it had no offices or warehouses in my home state. Nevertheless, North Carolina lawmakers passed a law which required Amazon to tax the sale of on-line goods as if Amazon owned their Associates websites.
Shareasale is an excellent alternative to Amazon as it has an assortment of products/services and even greater opportunities to earn higher commissions. Ponder the possibilities and make Sharasale your affiliate network of choice!
How Can I Shareasale?
In order to Shareasale you must simply join Shareasale Affiliate Marketing Network, free of charge. Once you join, there are several mediums in which you can market available products and services such as article marketing, video marketing, e-mail campaigns, and so forth. Doing so successfully will earn you commissions from Shareasale and the merchant. Three thousand merchants participate with Shareasale as it is a retail sales afilliate network. In 2000 Shareasale begain business and now, a decade later, they are among the top in affiliate marketing networks. Some of the featured merchants include:
Fibers.com

Splendia Hotels
Pro-White, Inc.
2 Minute SEO
Keyword Competitor
The Land of Nod
This list is just the tip of the iceberg as Shareasale offers pay-per-sale, pay-per-lead, and pay-per-click programs on products and services.
Closing: Newbies and Shareasale
I am a newbie to internet marketing or affiliate marketing and my goal is point blank, making money online. Publishing content about products and services from Shareasale merchants has been painless and a breeze! I received easy acceptance into the program and did not get any phone calls or extensive screens. Many Shareasale merchants allow instant access to their products and some require a few days of review.
I recommend before joining that you start a blog or create a website pertaining to your niche. My website is a free website; however my domain was purchased and is not a sub-domain. Be prepared not to get into all product/service programs as merchants feel it is not a good fit for the niche. Nevertheless, there are hundreds available regardless of your niche!
Nothing Could Be Finer Than To Be In Carolina

I am in Illinois and they are doing the same thing. I just got the below email yesterday. My question is if Amazon and Overstock are dumping their affiliate programs in said states, what about other merchants that go through CJ or ShareASale?
Greetings from the Amazon Associates Program:
We regret to inform you that the Illinois state legislature has passed an unconstitutional tax collection scheme that, if signed by Governor Quinn, would leave Amazon.com little choice but to end its relationships with Illinois-based Associates. You are receiving this email because our records indicate that you are a resident of Illinois. If our records are incorrect, you can manage the details of your Associates account here.
Please note that this not an immediate termination notice and you are still a valued participant in the Amazon Associates Program. But if the governor signs this bill, we will need to terminate the participation of all Illinois residents in the Associates Program. After that point, we will no longer pay any advertising fees for sales referred to amazon.com, endless.com and smallparts.com nor will we accept new applications for the Associates Program from Illinois residents.
The unfortunate consequences of this legislation on Illinois residents like you were explained to the legislature, including Senate and House leadership, as well as to the governor's staff.
Over a dozen other states have considered essentially identical legislation but have rejected these proposals largely because of the adverse impact on their states' residents.
Governor Quinn's office may be reached here.
We thank you for being part of the Amazon Associates Program, and wish you continued success in the future.
Sincerely,
Amazon.com
