Stuff the Lawyers and the FTC makes us disclose.
I write a combination of articles on my blog. Many times I will write about a fantastic offer that some of my friends in the Real Estate industry or other subject matter experts are selling. Many of these offers will have a free or close to free introductory offer. These are great to test out the waters of a speaker/educator and see if you would want to continue learning from that individual or join one of their other programs.
There is a good possibility that I will be compensated if you decide to buy something from someone down the road that I have promoted on my website or merely mentioned on my blog. I make it a personal policy to NOT promote any product or service unless I have at least personally reviewed or used the product or service. Many of the products I have mentioned or will mention on my blog/websites will give you a discount or you will get additional bonuses for purchasing through my links. The possibility that I’m being compensated will NOT affect the price you will pay and many times you will get some special pricing.
