FTC and New Rules for Affiliate Marketers
December 1, 2009 by Wendy
If you’ve haven’t read all of the posts, Twitter tweets and articles that have been going around on the Internet lately then please let me fill you in on this very important news.
The FTC is changing the way affiliate marketers should be promoting products and these changes go into effect December 1, 2009. If you are promoting anyone’s products then this is really something you should take a look at.
If you review or endorse any products and/or use testimonials, please check out the official FTC statement here:

I’m not a lawyer, although sometimes I wish I was, but here are a few resources that explain things way better than I can:
Lynn Terry has made a few posts on the topic here:

Internet Law Resources (Notice how he has an Affiliate Status Disclosure on his sidebar)

Again, the new rules go into effect December 1, 2009 and ALL affiliates must be in compliance with these new rules. The FTC is very serious and it’s very important that we all abide by these new rules, any affiliate that doesn’t abide by them will unfortunately be terminated from our affiliate program.
10 MORE Ways to Use eBooks to Boost Your Business
July 20, 2009 by affmanager
The response to our previous blog post about 26 Ways to Use eBooks to Boost Your Business has just been awesome. So awesome that I’ve been inspired to think of even more ways to use eBooks – 10, in fact.
But before I get into that, let me just remind you that you don’t have to write these eBooks yourself. If your business is related to Mommyhood, check out <a href=”http://momplrebooks.com/amember/go.php?r=XXX&i=l1″>Mom PLR eBooks.</a> With your monthly membership, you’ll get private label rights (PLR) to an eBook, articles, blog posts and everything else you need for marketing.
1. Use content from the eBook to post meaningful and valuable comments in blog posts related to your niche.
2. Write a blog post about each topic in the eBook’s table of contents. Use on your own blog or as guest posts in related blogs.
3. Use the eBook as the basis of an online survey, to help you learn more about your market such as what type of information they want.
4. Create a FAQ page or special report with links to your site and/or affiliate links. Then make it go viral.
5. Distill the key points of an eBook into a poster – to give away or sell.
6. Use information in the eBook to create high-quality landing pages for your Pay Per Click campaigns.
7. Based on the eBook contents, develop a set of comics you can give away to build your list.
8. Pre-load a USB flash drive with several related eBooks and sell at a premium.
9. If you have a membership site, offer the eBook as an unannounced bonus.
10. Organize a webinar around the eBook. Record the webinar, have it transcribed, and you’ve got a brand-new product to either sell or give away.
Whew! With our previous blog post, that’s a total of 36 ways you can use eBooks to build your business. If I’ve missed any, please feel free to let me know by posting a comment below.
There’s so much you can do with content, but it takes time, effort and money to create it. When you have access to high-quality PLR content for a specific market, such as <a href=”http://momplrebooks.com/amember/go.php?r=XXX&i=l1″>Mom PLR eBooks,</a> then you’ll have plenty of time and energy to get maximum profits from the content. If you want to try out <a href=”http://momplrebooks.com/amember/go.php?r=XXX&i=l1″>Mom PLR eBooks,</a> use coupon code “ebookboost” (without the quotation marks) to get your first month for only $5. After that, it’s $29 every month.
