MW007 | Introduction To Blogging And My Take On The FTC Guidance

I learned a lot from Yanik Silver. I have the first issue of his paid newsletter near my laptop. I didn't listen the first six episodes.

Blogging is an art. Many people can't make a penny with blogs because they don't know how to mix good content with promotional content.

Thank you.

I heard about this on "Managing the Gray". (http://www.managingthegray.com/)

Might be a good way to annotate each post or page in addition to the Disclosure page.

A WP plugin that provides a "roll-over" would be sweet.

Thanks for all you do, Mark.

This is a hot topic. Appreciate the heads up Mark. Newbies like me need all the help we can get.

Mark,

As another non-attorney I applaud your willingness to discuss this and make your plans known to fellow bloggers. I have done the same thing and have created a TOS to install as a page on all IM Blogs and will put a message at the bottom of each post with a link to the TOS and a statement that we are in agreement with FTC ruling and comply.

As a very satisfied, (non-compensated incidentally) user of your great Adsense themes I doubt that we $5 a day guys will be in the government sights for a long time, but what the hey, better to be prepared.

I have a feeling that the FTC will be going after deep pockets first, so Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods and the like had better be ready to disclose that they are being paid for reaching for a certain beverage or in showing a certain cigar label.

I enjoyed your podcast on this subject and also listened to another very in-depth discussion of these new guidelines on the WOMMA website at http://www.slideshare.net/WOMMAssociation/understa...

Have a great trip.
