Title: expat affiliates
Post by: littleman on September 24, 2012, 09:06:30 PM
I noticed that a lot of merchants have rules about working only with domestic affiliates.  How are you all getting around this?

I think that's mostly for automatically denying Indian, Bulgarian, Ukranian etc. scammers and spammers. If you're legit and contact said company, they will let you make money for them if they're smart.  Many companies just don't want to have to monitor what  they consider will be fraudulent traffic and sales, so by automatically denying, it makes their life easier.

Would a PO box not suffice?  And, if your hosting is in the US how could they know?

I presume it's all about providing the mailing address to send checks to?

There's got to be plenty of services that will provide a mailing address, but when said program starts asking for w8's sees your ip is from Bulgaria, yet you use a US address,  they'll get suspicious.

Here's a funny one, I'm in some affiliate marketing groups on FB and I saw a network that had a free trial on something or another, so I said I'll help you sell some of that. This newbie then asks me to provide her 3 references...........................................  Bye bye.
