About 3 months ago I was looking for a book to help me change my eating habits. I came across the book Dr Gundry’s Diet Evolution. As I was looking through this book , I quickly saw that Dr. Gundry ‘s book was the answer that I had been looking for. I purchased the book at Costco for a measly $9.

I began to read the book and adopt the different eating habits that Dr. Gundry lays out. He even includes like 70 yummy recipes in the book.

After several months of changing my eating habits, I began to feel and look like a different person. I went from a size 36 pants, down to a size 32. I lost 12 pounds. I feel like I am in my 20′s again. It really is amazing how different you can feel by adopting healthy eating habits.

Well on Saturday May 22nd I am at the Costco store In Palm Desert Ca and guess who I run into, Dr. Steven R Gundry. I was so excited when I saw him. I had to approach Dr. Gundry and tell him how much that he has changed my life. I enlisted the help of one of the Costco employees. I was armed with a copy of Dr, Gundry’s book and a friends I-Phone. I approached Dr. Gundry and introduced myself. I told Dr. Gundry that he truly changed my life, and I really wanted to thank him for writing Diet Evolution. I then asked Dr. Gundry if I could take a picture with him.  Dr. Gundry said that he would be happy to take a picture with me. I got a couple of pictures of us together. But the best part of this chance meeting was getting Dr. Gundry to autograph a copy of his book for me. Check out what he wrote in the picture above.

Dr. Gundry was very kind,  friendly,and appreciative of the comments that I shared with him.

Dr. Gundry is a world renowned cardiac surgeon. Dr. Gundry has had the opportunity to change thousands of peoples lives not only with his surgical skills, but also by providing a great guide for all of us to follow , to lessen our risks of Heart Disease, Diabetes, High Blood Pressure, and Arthritis.

I thought I would record a training video on using Jing. This is a software program that you can use to capture images from your screen and upload them to your hard-drive, or upload them to Screen cast. You can also record screen cast video using the Jing software.

This is an excellent FREE resource you can use for your online Network Marketing business. I also use it to send pictures to my friends and family!

There has been a lot of confusion and rumors about the new Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines that go into effect on December 1st 2009. It is your responsibility to ensure that you and your online business is FTC compliant. I am including a couple of resources in this post to help you accomplish this.

The first thing that you should do is download the new FTC guidelines below to become more familiar with each of the different sections. These new guidelines will effect all Bloggers, Advertisers, Advertisements, and Affiliates.  The other area that the new Guidelines cover is also the Testimonials that you place on your blog or website.

You can download the New FTC  Guidelines for Endorsements and Testimonials here!

Caroline McCarthy of Cnet gives this example of how the FTC guidelines apply to a blogger (or, in this example, a celebrity) on Face-book:

“[A] celebrity or other prominent figure with loads of friends on Face-book receives free hotel stays from Hotel Chain X in exchange for running Hotel Chain X ads on his or her blog. If that person then signs up as a Face-book fan of Hotel Chain X–which, remember, could mean that the person’s name can show up for his or her Face-book friends alongside Hotel Chain X display ads on the social network–he or she could be held liable by the FTC.”

The second step is to listen to a recorded call with well know Internet Marketer Jim Edwards and Mr. Cleveland with the FTC. The call is about 10 minutes long, and has some great information directly from the source (FTC). Listen to the call so that you are informed about the upcoming changes.

Q &A with FTC Re: Bloggers, Affiliates, Advertisers & More

Here is a quote from the FTC website:

“The revised Guides also add new examples to illustrate the long standing principle that “material connections” (sometimes payments or free products) between advertisers and   endorsers – connections that consumers would not expect – must be disclosed. These examples address what constitutes an endorsement when the message is conveyed by bloggers or other “word-of-mouth” marketers. The revised Guides specify that while decisions will be reached on a case-by-case basis, the post of a blogger who receives cash or in-kind payment to review a product is considered an endorsement. Thus, bloggers who make an endorsement must disclose the material connections they share with the seller of the product or service”.

These new guidelines  will help with the growing problem of misleading practices, false claims, fraud, and fake testimonials. These will really help the consumer make a more informed decision if they want to purchase that persons products or services.

What are your thoughts about these new guidelines? Leave me a Comment! and let me know what changes you will be implementing to ensure that you will be FTC compliant !
