Let’s say you have negative assets. Any way to trick someone into suing you for those?

thanks for the info, this is something I have been thinking about more and more, I’m just not sure how to go about it yet, and which way to go.

I will keep doing my research, but thanks for the info

Gotcha. I totally agree its well worth the investment to protect yourself. (I had an LLC setup right when I started affiliate marketing just for that reason, I wasn’t making any money yet) But in your talks with big affiliates have you ever heard of any of them being sued for promoting a product that hurt someone, lost someone money, falsely advertised a product, etc.

Through my research I have yet to find a case or any info on an affiliate being sued. You would think instead of going after the company behind the product or service the lawyers would go after the affiliates since they don’t have the legal team and tons of money to through at a court case. It would seem like an easy way for lawyers to get some quick settlements from big time affililates.

Kev: Anytime you make a lot of money, people will find ways to come at you.

For example: You sell someone a ringtone service. They clicked through your affiliate site and so you have a hand in the action some how and could come after you. Just a thought though I’m not a lawyer. In any case, for the $1000 bucks or less in many cases, you protect your home, car, bank accounts, etc. It’s worth the investment.
