AFFILIATES - think you’re immune from the FTC because you’re promoting other people’s products?
Think again…
In this week's episode, we brought on our very first guest to share his story. And this is huge for affiliates. Mike G. shares his insane story of how simply promoting the wrong company led to his worst nightmare.
Mike was living the affiliate dream, earning big commissions promoting a successful marketing company. But when that company got shut down by the FTC, Mike found himself in the crosshairs too.
Mike also reveals…
The gut-wrenching moment he realized being an affiliate wouldn't shield him from lawsuits and refund demands…
How the FTC went after him for ALL the money his referred customers spent, not just his commissions…
The brutal personal toll of watching his company's payment processor lose millions and becoming the target of merciless local news stories…
Why the FTC sees affiliates as just an "extension of the company" they promote, even if they don't write copy or create products…
The scary truth that you're responsible for EVERY CLAIM your affiliate partners make, even if your own marketing is squeaky clean…
You may not realize it, but many affiliates have targets on their backs.
The only way to protect yourself is to vet every offer with a magnifying glass and hold your partners to the highest possible standards. Because when the FTC comes knocking, "I didn't know" won't save you from the nightmare.
Tune in now to hear Mike's cautionary story and the hard lessons he learned. Your business, your livelihood, and your peace of mind could depend on it.
