@GamingCampaign  -- no you do not need anything special. The logic is as follows --- the content you create is your  and has nothing to do with USA.  It is no different than a visitor  that comes to USA, visits  the Grand Canyon and after going home  uses the  photo  on Calendars and thereby makes  money.   Unless the sales come fro the US, the income is not US sourced, never mind the  "work" -- the taking of the photo was done in the USA -- it is personal at that time.  So to me your work, whether posted right away or later has nothing to do with "work" for somebody in the USA and thus not connected/ sourced  in the USA.  On the other hand, if you worked for Siemens  , say and came to the USA  to install equipment and train the users for a month, that earning  can be construed as connected /sourced  to USA, possibly.

 

So enjoy the USA, hope you come back again.
