Bloggers, Affiliate Marketers Must Be FTC Compliant by December 1

Though many may be running in fear from the new rules set out by the FTC that will go into effect December 1, 2009, legitimate and upstanding affiliate and internet marketing businesses have nothing to fear if they provide the potential customer with the necessary disclaimers.

What Do The New Rules Mean?

Bottom line if you sell anything on the internet, your own products or market others’ products, you must provide disclaimers and notices to your potential customers of the relationships you have with other vendors and or affiliate products — and let people know that they may not achieve the results you’ve achieved with the products you are recommending and basically inform them of your affiliate relationship.

The idea behind this is “Buyer Beware.”

And we all know what it’s like to be taken in by a disreputable affiliate or internet marketer.  The idea is that all these relationships must be disclosed up front on the page of every blog with a link to a more lengthy disclosure.

A Lot of Internet Marketers May Be Afraid

Thinking that they may be losing businessbut if you’re honest, have integrity, stand behind your products and only link to those affiliate products that can offer guarantees or honest products that actually provide a service — there is nothing to worry about, as long as you read up on the required disclosures and provide them to your customers.

Get Legal Advice

I am not an attorney and cannot tell you how to handle this on your own website – so if you are concerned get legal advice.

Protect Your Customers

Legitimate marketers know that scammers are the bane of our existence.  How is a reputable marketer to do business when so many scammers look like the real thing.

This solution provided by the FTC may be something that can help, but as we all know, crooks find a way around any system.  But we need not worry about those who are operating in the shadows, if we ourselves make sure we’re operating in the light.

So all in all, I think this is a good thing whose time has come.

Make The Big Bucks Online

CPA Ninja just launched *Thursday* . . .  And Marty and Matt have already burned through 400 or so copies of the course . . . (they’ve only got about 200 copies left until they’re sold out.)

Which is pretty amazing in this “tough” economy . . . Personally, I’m not surprised.

I’ve seen the CPA Ninja School training course myself and have seen the RESULTS that people are getting by putting this training into action and it’s absolutely amazing. . . And I’ll say right now that CPA Ninja School is the
absolute EASIEST way to start making money with CPA offers that I’ve ever seen.

If you haven’t already, check out the video and sales letter at

But hurry. The copies they’ve got left aren’t going to last for long.

By the way, Marty and Matt tell me they’re going to get more copies of CPA Ninja produced . . . but it’s not going to be for a while and they’re going to raise the price by $500 when they do. Right now you’ve got a chance to grab the
full training course at the lowest possible price (and to start making MONEY with the course as fast as possible.) I don’t want you to miss out. Go to  www.CPAninjas.com
