Disclosure Policy

New Federal Trade Commission guidelines
"The guidelines will mandate that bloggers that have a material connection to advertisers must disclose the relationship. Why? Well, according to what I [The Coupon Project] can piece together, the FTC feels it's misleading for readers to remain unaware that bloggers may be receiving money or products for their posts. To some degree, I can understand that. What is going to be difficult, however, is determining the level of disclosures needed."
Starting - December 1st - all bloggers must disclose if they receive compensation (including products) as a result of their post, or they could be subjected to a fine of $11,000 per occurrence. That ain't no parking ticket, folks.


Well I don't know if this really applies to me and I don't understand all of it so just in case I've kinda put something together. I have not yet received any compensation as of today, December 1st, but I would like to start trying to in more efforts to spread the word about all other people like me who are crafty and are trying to sell their craft items.
