Do Affiliate marketing and Stripe payment belong to trading business?

Hi,

I follow James' video to form my single-member LLC and LLC US mercury bank and Stripe account. I use it only to receive affiliate income from affiliate network like Shareasale and CJ affiliate, and sometimes I use Stripe to receive donation and payment while selling digital products to clients all over the world.

Does that mean I have trade activities in US since some affiliate partners are from US, since it will effect how to file tax report. Also I want to know what tax form I should report in my circumstance.
