Is there anyway to sign up to an affiliate network without giving out your SSN?

[clownstep]

I'm still going to pay my taxes, I paid my taxes from last year to affiliate networks that didn't send me a W9. There are so many affiliate networks out there and many of them are small and I'm not too comfortable with giving my SSN out to so many places.

Register an LLC and give out your Biz Tax ID instead.

But if you feel like that only work with bigger aff companies

like barman said, registering an LLC or s corp & an EIN is the best way if you are thinking long term. i believe you can get an EIN as a sole prop. as well, though. less $$ that way

Correct - You are able to get an EIN as a sole proprietorship.
