I don't understand this

Who is eligible for payments:
You must be at least 18 years old to be paid by Associated Content. If you are also citizen or legal resident of the United States, you are eligible for both Upfront and Performance Payments. If you are not a citizen of legal resident of the United States, you are only eligible for Performance Payments due to U.S. tax regulations.


I'm from canada, i've written 2 articles today will i be paid for them or what it says eligible for performance payments due to U.S. tax regulations,.... also do i have to fill the W-9 form even if im not from the USA?

so do they pay canadians too or what?

1) Go to fakenamegenerator.com and generate yourself a fake US identity.
2) Sign up with those details.
3) Verify your account with a phone. It doesn't have to be a US phone, you can use a Canadian phone.
4) Once you hit the $600 tax limit, repeat steps 1-3.

Is there any need to use a proxy to hide your IP location?

Nope. I don't use a proxy and I've submitted 10 articles and no problems.
