NEW FTC Affiliate Marketing Guidelines: Can A Retarded Gorilla fix a Swiss Watch?

2009-10-09T18:59:00.000-07:00

Note: I’m not a lawyer, Never been a lawyer, don’t practice law and I do not give legal advice! The information below is NOT legal advice. The following are just my thoughts and opinion.

As many of you have probably heard, the FTC recently enacted some new advertising standards that directly affect internet marketing in general - across the whole board…

And this will impact basically every Affiliate offer, pre-sell page
and affiliate “review” page you affiliate marketers will create from this point forward.

Namely, the NEW guidelines deals with:

* Compensation Disclosure, and

* Honesty about Average Results

As I understand it, (and as Chris Rempel states in his blog) in summary, the new guidelines state that:

1) You have to clearly disclose that you are either being compensated or have a vested interest (commissions) in the products, services or otherwise “stuff” you feature in ANY of your content, and

2) Whenever you make claims about an offer - or publish testimonials - you have to either clarify or verify what the actual, average results are for an average user of the product.

From what I can interpret from the FTC guidelines (and it’s pretty vague),
you can still use your showpiece testimonials that are NOT average, but instead of just saying “results not typical” or “results may vary” - you have to
outright provide the *actual* average results in very close proximity to the
testimonial.

Something like: “This user experienced substantially above-average
results with this product. The average user can expect ___________”

(You can read a more in-depth take on the testimonial issue on
Frank Kern’s blog, by the way…)

I just want you to know, that I enjoy affiliate marketing and all its ups and
downs. And yes, I do promote some products that are created by others. And yes I do receive a very small amount of compensation when a customer purchases thru my affiliate links for a product. I usually only promote products or services that I have personally used and have derived some sort of benefit from that product.

As you look around on this blog, you will see various banners and ads for
various products. Please know that these are all my affiliate links to those
products. So if you decide to make a purchase, yes, I will be compensated (a
very small amount). But the point is, your experience using the product will NOT be average, there really is NO average, and no way in HELL can I predict what your results or experience(s) will be

MY FULL DISCLOSURE:

I want to make 2 points perfectly clear:

1) Yes, most of the links on this page are my affiliate links

2) I make NO claims as to what kind of results or experience you can expect when using these products

So, the question is, Can the Retarded Gorilla really fix a smooth running Swiss Watch? Probably not! But the FTC makes all the rules, AND you have to play by THEIR rules (and, as always, consult your lawyer, as your results may vary)!

The Birk Plan

2008-10-03T09:48:00.000-07:00

The Birk Economic Recovery Plan

This plan deals with $85 Billion, and not the proposed
$700 Billion "Bail Out" currently on the table.
Imagine, what that would do to these numbers...

Success means having the courage,
determination, and the will to become
the person you believe you were meant to be.

I'm against the $85,000,000,000.00 bailout of AIG. Instead, I'm in favor of giving
$85,000,000,000 to America in a We Deserve It Dividend. To make the math
simple, let's assume there are 200,000,000 bonafide U.S. Citizens 18+. Our
population is about 301,000,000 +/- counting every man, woman and child.

So 200,000,000 might be a fair stab at adults 18 and up.. So divide 200 million
adults 18+ into $85 billon that equals $425,000.00.

My plan is to give $425,000 to every person 18+ as a We Deserve It Dividend.

Of course, it would NOT be tax free. So let's assume a tax rate of 30%.

Every individual 18+ has to pay $127,500.00 in taxes.

That sends $25,500,000,000 right back to Uncle Sam, but it still means that
every adult has $297,500.00 in their pocket. A husband and wife would have
$595,000.00. What would you do with $297,500.00 to $595,000.00 in your family?

* Pay off your mortgage --- housing crisis solved.
* Repay college loans --- what a great boost to new grads
* Put away money for college --- it'll be there
* Save in a bank --- create money to loan to entrepreneurs
* Buy a new car --- create jobs
* Invest in the market --- capital drives growth
* Pay for your parent's medical insurance --- health care improves
* Enable Deadbeat Dads to come clean --- or else

Remember this is for every adult U S Citizen including the folks who lost
their jobs at Lehman Brothers and every other company that is cutting back.

And of course, for those serving in our Armed Forces. If we're going to
re-distribute wealth let's really do it...instead of trickling out a puny $1000.00
( "vote buy" ) economic incentive that is being proposed by one of our
candidates for President.

If we're going to do an $85 billion bai lout, let's bail out every adult U S Citizen!

As for AIG

* Liquidate it.
* Sell off its parts...
* Sell off the real estate...
* Let the private sector bargain hunters cut it up and clean it up...

Here's my rationale: We deserve it and AIG doesn't.

Sure it's a crazy idea that can "never work.", but can you imagine the
Coast-To-Coast Block Party!

How do you spell Economic Boom? I trust my fellow adult Americans
to know how to use the $85 Billion We Deserve It Dividend more
than I do the geniuses at AIG or in Washington DC.

...And remember, The Birk plan only really costs $59.5 Billion because
$25.5 Billion is returned instantly in taxes to Uncle Sam.

Ahhh... I feel so much better getting that off my chest.

Kindest personal regards,

Birk T. J. Birkenmeier, A Creative Guy & Citizen of the Republic

THE NUMBER ONE illness in AMERICA is LOW SELF ESTEEM. And nobody wants to fix it.
They just want your money!

So your going to have to take upon yourself to get HELP! And your going to have to get HELP from somebody who is coming from where you want to be.

In other words, take advice from a millionaire, not the broke-know-it-all neighbor next door.

And remember, the "The key to success, is consistent effort"

How To Make Money Online (yes, even if you're a newbie)

2008-06-26T05:38:00.001-07:00

How To Make Money Online (yes, even if you're a newbie)

Have you noticed how difficult it is to actually get any REAL information about how to make money online?

It's a nightmare isn't it? You start off buying up everything you come across - all promising your overnight riches but only to disappoint you and leave you out of pocket. Well it doesn't have to be like that as Michael Cheney is about to explain in this interview.

Michael Cheney, one of the most-respected names in Internet marketing, has been online since 1995 and is the man behind the 6-Figure launches of AdSense Videos, 11 Days To List Profits and Michael's Traffic Videos.

After receiving 1489 responses to a survey he put out to his list one big request came back from almost everyone;

"Give us something easy, step-by-step and proven to make money online that anyone can do!"

So that's what he's giving you in the new product Start Your Profits Today.

Q. Michael, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to talk with us today.

A. My pleasure - I know a lot of people out there want to get started making money online so it's my job to get out and spread the word about how easy it is.

Q. So what do you see as being the main hurdles to newbies being able to make money on the internet? What is it that's stopping them?

A. To be honest with you I think the main thing is information. There is just so much BAD information out there. Scams. Cons. Just bad information that is leading people astray and wasting their time and money. I mean you get onto the Internet and the first thing you see almost is these get-rich-quick schemes. It's not your fault for seizing these so-called opportunities as they are presented so well. And believe me - I know there are thousands of you out there who have been taken for a ride by things like this. People on my list have been telling me this.

Q. Yes, you ran survey didn't you to ask your list what they wanted? What sort of questions did you ask them and what did they say?

A. Well I asked how I could most help them. You know - I've been online since 1995 and make a lot of money online but I was keen to tap into their BIGGEST challenges and needs. So I asked them what sort of information they wanted to learn. What style of learning they preferred and how they wanted this information to be delivered. I was totally blown away by the responses - I got 1489 people completing the survey!

Q. So what did they say?

A. There some big common themes that kept coming up as I looked at the responses and all the comments. These were that people want something that is STEP BY STEP, something that is AFFORDABALE and something that takes you right FROM BEGINNING and doesn't leave anything out. You can get really frustrated when you start investing in products that claim to make you money online only to find that leave out a massive piece of the jigsaw. Or they forget to mention that you need to buy X, Y and Z just to make their system work. And that's where Start Your Profits Today is different.

Q. How do you mean exactly?

A. Well, for the first time - I take you, as a total newbie beginner, right through the entire process from beginning to end on making money online. You discover how to get your own website address, how to create your website and how to start bringing the money in by selling other people's products. This is a distilled version of the best making-money techniques I have ever used in my 13 years' online experience. This is quite simple the fastest, easiest and best way to make money online and I show you what to do every step of the way.

Q. Sounds great. So how do you take people through all these steps?

A. Simple - I have recorded short videos on-screen of me actually doing each of these steps so you just follow the simple success formula - WATCH. COPY. EARN. You cannot go wrong, even a child could do it. I'm serious!

Q.You're right, it does sound really easy. So tell me, what are some of these steps that you go through in Start Your Profits Today?

A. You learn how to pinpoint the most profitable products to promote. You like that title?! I like to have snappy titles that inspire you to take action as it's not all sexy make-money stuff right from the beginning. There are obviously crucial steps you need to take in preparation. You know - to get your website online, to get your website address and to add words and pictures to your website etc.

Q. So what exactly do you need if you're a beginner starting out trying to make online? Are there some items you need to buy?

A. Great question - yes you do need to have a few essentials. You just can't make money online without them. You'll need your own website address and of course your own website. I show you where to get this and the best, cheapest place to go for this in Start Your Profits Today. Other than that you can do everything else pretty much for free.

Q. So you don't need to buy lots of different things to get started online?

A. No not all. I'm a big believer in doing things that are free! I started out with nothing, working from my bedroom in a poxy one-bed bachelor apartment. Now I live in $800,000 house in the country. My point? When I started out if there was a free way to do something - I found it! And I'm still that way now so I uncover some of these insider money-saving secrets in the videos as well.

Q. So wrapping up then - who would you say would benefit from these videos? Do you need to have a basic level of knowledge on the internet to get started?

A. If you can turn on your computer you are good to go! Seriously! You'll see that I take you by the hand and guide you through every step of the way. I hate jargon so you won't see any of that and it's all explained in simple English and you can go along and progress through to the money at your own pace.

Q. You really do seem to have created a product that every newbie is going to want! So I guess the big question is - how much money can they make using Start Your Profits Today?

A. Well this all really depends on your attitude. If you have a great attitude and you put in the time to go through the steps then there is honestly no limit. You could quite easily be bringing in a few hundred to a few thousand extra dollars a week once you are up and running. What you need to remember is that is exactly the same system that I use in my multi-million dollar business. It works for me, it works for thousands of other people and it will work for you too.

Q. That's great Michael. Thank you again for your time today, I really appreciate you doing this interview for us. Well all that remains now is for anyone listening to this interview to get over to Start Your Profits Today and start your profits today!
