In 2015, the Federal Trade Commission released their new rules for Disclosure Compliance. These rules are set in place to ensure that readers or viewers of web media (blogs, Youtube videos, etc.) know if the blogger/presenter is sponsored, endorsed, or partnered with a different company. In blog terms, the readers need to know if the blogger is making money by sharing a link or product.
In compliance with the FTC guidelines, please assume the following about links and posts on this site: Any/all of the links TheNewsletterJournal.com are affiliate links of which I receive a small compensation from sales of certain items.
What are affiliate links?
Purchases are made on external affiliate company websites: When a reader clicks on an affiliate link on TheNewsletterJournal.com to purchase an item, the reader buys the item from the seller directly (not from TheNewsletterJournal.com). Companies such as Capex Internet Content LLC (aka Capitalist Exploits) and/or other companies pay TheNewsletterJournal.com a small commission or other compensation for promoting their website or products through their affiliate program.
For example, one service I recommend on this site is called Insider Newsletter (by Capitalist Exploits), and if you join this service through any link on this site, I will earn a commission.
I also recommend a service called Stock Advisor from Motley Fool. I am an affiliate of The Motley Fool and may be compensated for promoting its services. If you choose to subscribe through any link that takes you through to the Motley Fool website, I will earn some extra money that supports my website. My opinions remain my own and are unaffected by The Motley Fool.
Rest assured, I only recommend services I’ve joined myself and believe offer great value. And prices are exactly the same for you if your purchase is through an affiliate link or a non-affiliate link. You will not pay more by clicking through to the link.
If you click the link and buy the product, then we may receive a percentage of the sale or some other type of compensation. Things like e-book bundles, e-courses, and online packages are usually affiliate links, as well.
Again, prices are not different if you use these affiliate links. You will not pay more by clicking through to the link. These links are not “pay per click” unless otherwise denoted.
What about sponsored content?
We do not write sponsored posts. We want to bring you real, unbiased information. However, if a post is sponsored by a company and it is a paid sponsorship, we will disclose this clearly at the beginning of the post.
