Hi, I would like to know as whether or not selling e-books or book writers at home base need to be registered in USA?

There are many affiliate programs that pay to members for introducing the products to consumers through internet. I suppose a profession or employment is not deemed as a "business' undertaking and need no business registration.

So a person writing as a hobby at home and then sell his e-books through internet needs business registration or not? Normally people want to save the costs of business registration and keeping financial reports etc.

Hope to hear from "the floor".
