Hey All,

Today I thought I advise everyone including newbies in Internet Marketing about the new rules that FTC have introduced in the world of Affiliate Marketing. I like the new FTC rules and I think that more Internet Marketers will work ethically and use disclaimers on their websites.

The rules require bloggers to disclose relationships with companies, services and products that they are compensated for endorsing or reviewing them. Bloggers now need to disclose any time they receive a payment or free products or services or any other compensation for posts on their blogs. If you currently receive any compensation whether it be gifts or stocks or payment from previous posts, you need to go back and add disclosures to them as well.

If anyone wants to get into Internet Marketing, please do it ethically as I have mentioned before, your customers and your reputation is everything in Internet Marketing, it can break you or make you, so if you are looking at starting your internet marketing journey please make sure that you read these rules and see a Legal advisor if you do not understand them but please read them and disclosure anything that is required on your websites as per the FTC rules.

These rules are endorsed by FTC, so I highly recommend and encourage bloggers and Internet Marketers to read them and visit their webiste for more information.

Below are a few links that I found that were very helpful.

To your continued success with your journey,
