Disclaimer
Here’s the short version of what this page is saying, with a huge thanks to Yaro Starak – his own disclaimer which he got from someone else sums up my situation so well that I thought I’d take it from him, so there’s another disclaimer…
From time to time, I will promote, endorse, or suggest products and/or services for sale. My recommendation is ALWAYS based on my belief that the product and it’s author will provide excellent and valuable information or service based on a review of that product, my relationship with that person, and or previous positive experience with the person or company who’s product I am recommending.
In some cases, I will be compensated if you decide to purchase that product based on my recommendation. In some cases, I will receive the product for free for review purposes. Always Always Always do your OWN due-diligence before making any purchases. Never purchase anything that you cannot afford.
Most people don’t do anything with the products they buy, so most of the time, their typical results are zero. Don’t do drugs, stay in school. There is no such thing as a Silver Bullet…and I have a better day today than yesterday!
The Longer Story…
The purpose of this page is to disclose to you what this blog is about, who I am, and what you are in for when you read any content from me (Dennis Marshall) or other people, on these websites (iBlog4Dollars.com) or in any email newsletters you may receive from me.
How I Make Money
Since this blog includes the topic of how to make money, and the products I sell also focus heavily on the topic of how to make money, it’s easy to accuse me of only making money by teaching people how to make money, which you might consider a scam.
If you fall into that category, I invite you to read the archives of this blog, as well as my life story series of articles, where you will see that I started this blog when I was making pennies using the internet and not just by selling stuff. I’m always looking for offline methods & more ways other than blogging to bring in income however I certainly specialize in how to make money blogging. I guess you can say it’s my passion.
Today the majority of my income comes from three sources -
- Advertisements placed on this blog in the form of banners and text links (see my Advertise Page for details)
- Affiliate promotions where I am paid a commission if someone buys another person’s product after clicking an affiliate link on one of my websites or in an email I send
- From sales of the online courses I run and other information and training products I’ve created
And that is pretty much it. You can learn a lot from my websites, reports and newsletters, but always do your research before buying anything and never expect easy money, there is no such thing.
Here follows the more legal-language explanation…
