So, today I registered at Clickbank. My first affiliate network.

They asked me for my ssn, address and full name - like okay but I dont want my personal info floating around on hands of a rando in the internet.

Probably some hacker got my info already or whatever but why keep playin with the tiggers balls?

how to do this stuff and keep anonymous? Should I settle an LLC, set a new paypal account or are there other networks that can pay you w crypto or stuff? or maybe is common practice to give your address and ssn to every affiliate program?

All the networks, well most of them that are legit, are going to ask for identifying information as that keeps them legal.

As to CB, I'd probably be looking elsewhere for something to promote.

there is a ton others. I've seen at least +20 mentions of different networks - although clickbank good place to get my feet wet on this affiliate stuff? kinda hard know what is legit and what is not with so many SEO optimized landing pages.
 
I get the concern! Setting up an LLC and using a separate business PayPal is a good move for privacy, and some networks like BitStarMarkets or Coinzilla even offer crypto payments if you want to stay more anonymous.
 
It's common for affiliate networks to ask for personal info for tax purposes, but if you're worried about privacy, setting up an LLC, using a separate business PayPal, and opting for networks that pay in crypto (like Fortunecity or Cointraffic) can help you stay more anonymous.
 
Set up an LLC, use EIN, and get paid via crypto or business PayPal to protect privacy.




 
I think setting up an LLC and using a business PayPal is a solid way to keep things private while still participating in affiliate programs. It adds a layer of protection without compromising your personal info.

Change your name by deed poll to bill hoskins.
 
Update: After the suspension of my acc I sent an email to support.
Two weeks later they replied asking for additional information like proof of address. They un-suspended me afterwards
