I know that one of our goals is to make money with our sites or blogs or we wouldn't be at this site, but we also have goals of giving our readers and customers valuable information and if you follow teachers/trainers like yourself then you know that you can be upfront and honest with your customers and still make money.

Cheers, Ros Hi Lynda,

The FTC isn’t specific about where to put your disclosure statements – so I will continue to post mine as a separate page accessible by link from the bottom of every page on my blogs.

I've personally never used those tactics - despite the fact that I COULD say that a good number of my students are now millionaires. I personally don't want to sell to those who wouldn't pay heed to a 'results not typical' statement and go in with unrealistic expectations - they end up being more trouble than they're worth. And now those 'results not typical' statements have gone by the wayside with the requirement to state results that ARE typical. Cheers, Ros @ Geoff Baxter
