hello guys,

i have some questions about affiliate websites.
I want to build a website so i can advertise products from different merchants so i can get paid with a comission for every customer that my website redirects to marchant website or comission for every transaction made from a customer who visited my website.

i am still unclear with some things:

1) if i have a website and i want to make it affiliate (as described above).. what type of licenses do i need to be LEGAL ? i mean, do i have to have a LLC or Corporation in order to run this website so i can earn my money from the comission? (I would PREFFER NOT to have a LLC or corporation.)

2) if i don't have to have my own LLC or corporation, do i need any other license? if so, what licenses do i need??

3) for example ClickBank asks for an EIN. can i use my SSN to register for affiliate networks? and.. at the end of each month, i will receive a check with my earnings??

4) do i have to pay any taxes by running this website??? (if the company will send me a check with my earnings, will the send me a form at the end of the year with all my anual earnings in order to declare that for anual taxes?)


Please be speciffic. Also please explain clearly what i have to do in order to start running this website and be legal in the same time. i don't want to make a stupid movement.

Thanks alot for your time,
Razvan
