    Here is the official link: Advertising and Marketing on the Internet: Rules of the Road

    "Advertising must tell the truth and not mislead consumers. A claim can be misleading if relevant information is left out or if the claim implies something that's not true. For example, a lease advertisement for an automobile that promotes "$0 Down" may be misleading if significant and undisclosed charges are due at lease signing."

    In other words.. don't promise people they can make money, you cant be sure they will unless you do it for them.

    OK, Susanna,

    you are not going to like what follows but you need to hear (read) this:

    It happened that I saw two of your previous threads: one about the lack of support on behalf of your husband, mainly because he's not seeing any results; and the other one where you were asking (begging?) for help to start earning money "ASAP".

    In the latter one you were given a lot of excellent advice, outlining several possible ways to start making money. Not all of them "ASAP" - because building a business, even online, is not an "asap"/quick-money approach... but all very valid and very doable methods.
    Someone even pointed you to a thread where a growing number of WF members are offering a very generous package for a person who would take action and put that package to good use...

    If you take action.

    Instead, you decided to browse around and start this thread about a topic that shouldn't be your immediate concern.

    To be blunt: the FTC rules are not affecting you as a "marketer" - because you are not doing anything as a marketer. Stop worrying about things that are not important at this moment.

    I see this thread as a clear explanation why you needed to start the two previous threads mentioned above.

    It's still not too late to take action!

    Good luck!

      Would you mind sharing the link to that thread, please?! Thanks in advance!
