Should you register as an LLC or as an individual for the Amazon Affiliate program?

[ElAnosm]

I’m considering joining the Amazon Associates Program. Is it required to establish an LLC for tax benefits, or can I register as an individual? If I register as an individual, would that classify me as self-employed?

Has anyone navigated this process? If so, which option did you choose? Any insights would be greatly appreciated and would assist me in deciding the best path forward.

Some states, such as Delaware, Nevada, or Wyoming, are particularly friendly for businesses. However, if you're not located in those areas, there may be an additional fee for being considered a 'foreign entity.'

Once that's taken care of, you'll be able to obtain an Employer Identification Number (EIN) from the IRS.
