Default Illinois Affiliates - Photography Website

So I started writing about my experience learning photography almost a year ago. Eventually I started to get enough traffic and spent enough time doing it that I decided to try and monetize the site with a few affiliate links here and there. I made like $12 a month. Nothing big, but every bit counts.

Then Illinois decided to get greedy and found a way to tax affiliate income. I know a lot of programs have completely just dropped Illinois residents (including B&H Photo). Does anyone know of Illinois friendly affiliate programs? I've checked with Borrowlenses.com because I love their service and haven't heard back from them.

If anyone has some guidance it would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Ha ha, yup, you're right. This state is getting ridiculous, doubling tolls, CPS wanting to add more tax to businesses, wanting to tax internet sales.. and the list goes on and on...

Gov. Scott Walker is trying to create a business-friendly state, and we're just next door. Football, baseball, and beer is better over here, too.

Maybe you could run this question by your local state representative and see if they have any leads. Seriously, they need to know.

I am doing exactly this at retirement (if not before) and I'm taking my money with me.

Which leaves Illinois as the only state in the Union without conceal carry. Wisconsin keeps looking better and better...
