I have been involved in numerous FTC Guidelines discussions on several affiliate forums, trying to help keep people informed about various updates as they come up. Since the December 1st deadline is drawing near, I thought I should post some updates here on the blog too.

So below you’ll find info about: a free webinar (tonight) with an attorney regarding the FTC guidelines, 2 disclosure policy generators that may be helpful and 6 videos from the FTC that answer common questions about the issue.

There will be a FREE webinar about the FTC issues this evening, Monday, November 9, 2009 from 8:00 PM – 9:00 PM EST. It’s being held by Joel Comm and his attorney.

On December 1st, the new FTC regulations go into effect.

If you have a web site, sell any product or promote others’ products, you NEED to know what steps you must take to be fully compliant with the FTC.

Join Joel Comm and Attorney Kevin Houchin for a special one-hour webinar designed to discuss the new FTC Guidelines and the measures you must take to become compliant.

Learn how to protect your business and get compliant quickly!
You can sign up for this free webinar here.

In case you missed it, his attorney previously weighed in on the issues on Joel’s blog (below) but I assume he may have some new insights to add in the webinar. New FTC Rules for Testimonials and Endorsements in Marketing
