This is my FTC disclosure so I can make sure everything is totally legit. As of December 1st, 2009, I’m required to disclose that I may be getting paid at times for the material I write or record on LeaningTowardWisdom.com, BulaNetwork.com, HotSpringsVillageInsideOut.com, and other websites owned by Bula Network, LLC.
This blog and the associated podcasts, and videos, are generally about a place I love, Hot Springs Village, Arkansas. I don’t often sell things here, but that’s subject to change. Naturally, when I sell something the whole idea is to earn a profit. Otherwise, what’s the point, right?
By law, I’m required to tell you that any time you click on a link on this website, there is a decent chance that I may be paid if you buy a product on the other end. You should assume that I get paid on any and every link you see on this website. That way there can be no misunderstanding.
Sometimes, I receive free stuff in exchange for blogging or podcasting about particular products. Most times, I don’t get anything more than the sound of crickets chirping. I’m always working to be better than Gene (see the cartoon).
When I talk about a product, sometimes I have an affiliate link attached to that product. When someone buys that product, I get paid. It’s like being an Internet-based commission salesperson while it costs the buyer nothing.
My opinions or reviews are clearly my own and I don’t accept payment for anything I don’t believe is of value to my audience. I regularly turn down free goods or services because I don’t find them valuable in my life or to my audience.
No matter what the FTC or any other government agency says or does, the old advice remains quite wise: Buyer Beware!
Be careful about what you buy and who you buy from. I’m fond of full disclosure. Expect that of me because it’s what I hope to always provide.
Regards,
