FTC Blogging Disclosure
I guess it’s time I write this FTC blogging disclosure so I can make sure everything is on the up and up on this blog. As of December 1st 2009, I’m required to disclose that I may be getting paid at times for the material I write on JasonMoffatt.com
I don’t sell too much stuff on this blog. Most of the time I just write about my random experiences and such. That may change in the future, but the primary use of this blog is to write about my life and the interesting people I meet.
However, I am 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. For the sake of argument, lets just assume that I get paid on EVERY link you see on this website.
At times, I receive free gear for blogging about particular products. At times I get free dinners from vendors who want to wine and dine me. And at other times women throw their panties on the stage when I speak.
Okay, so I made that last one up. But please don’t hesitate to fling those undergarments if you feel inclined to do so ladies. Dudes, keep the tighty whities on please.
The bottom line is this, I’m an affiliate marketer and a blogger. When I talk about a product, I often have a affiliate link attached to that product. When someone buys that product, I get paid. It’s that simple.
According to the new law from the FTC, I need to disclose this to you.
That said, I don’t promote bullshit or accept money or gifts to skew my opinions EVER! I tell the truth about each and every product and cannot be bought to say something nice about your product or service.
Personally I think these new rules are a crock of shit, but hey, I understand why they exist. The FTC is trying to protect the consumer because god knows they can’t protect themselves. And yeah, there are a ton of affiliate scum marketers out there.
So be careful about what you buy and who you buy from. Eat your vegetables and don’t do drugs. And remember that when you buy stuff that I talk about on this blog or anywhere else, I get paid. (Preferably not in Pesos or IOU’s)
Last but not least, I promise to spend a portion of the money I make on wild partying, women and tasty snack treats for my dog Webber!
Cheers,
Jason Moffatt
Cool dog – whats that white powder on his paws ?
Gareth, he’s been to rehab and is all better now.
You might sell stuff? really? Really? REALLY??? lol
If you aren’t careful Dagny I’ll sell you the pair of shoes already on your feet. Shoelaces are extra!
What if we buy drugs through a link on your site? Then can we do them? And we do do you get paid? Do we also have to share?

P.S. I think I have an old Yellow Pages lying around the apartment…
You capitalist pig you. How dare you try to make money. You should be ashamed of yourself.
(and, yes, I met webber in rehab… that mofo tried to pawn off tasty treats for my stash… and lemme tell you – he drives a hard bargain!)
Jason,
You sell stuff!!!
Here was me thinking you were just goofing off most of the time

Awesome disclosure format! … and fabulous dog pic!
Wow, I love the disclosure. Great way to respond to an ever more intrusive gov. I think that I would feel less stressed if I took your approach

I peed in my pants a little when I saw the picture of your dog.
