Easy FTC Compliance Seminar – What You Need to Do, Step-by-Step
By Robert Skrob | December 8, 2009
There has been a lot of concern and frustration since the Federal Trade Commission issued their revised guidelines on testimonials and endorsements. While info-marketers do need to take some steps to comply, these guidelines are not a cause for panic.
Many of the blog posts and tele-seminars so far have focused on the rules. What the guidelines say, how it’s changed and the penalties for non-compliance. This teleseminar is completely different. Instead, this call focuses on the steps you need to take to comply, and when you hear about them, you’ll be surprised how easy it all is.
No Fear. No worry. Don’t read legalese. While it’s okay to schedule time to get an understanding of the new law there is no reason to become worried or fearful. The compliance details aren’t that hard. You’ll get everything you need, in a matter-of-fact tone in this special internet seminar.

I was not able to hear anything when I went to the FTC Seminar at 2:00 Eastnern – can I get a recorded version from somewhere?
December 10th, 2009 at 1:31 PM
Couldn’t get into the call. There was no link after I downloaded Real Player. I hope there’s a recording later…

I apologize if you weren’t able to get the streaming audio to work. It can be difficult with different combinations of brower, etc.
Here is the recording for today. Best wishes.

Hey Robert, I had the same problem linking in on my laptop, nothing audio-related was on the main page. But tried my desktop and it showed Real Audio player. I tried the RealAudio download link on my laptop but download had an error. Had to uninstall my laptop’s RealAudio, restart, install from the true RealAudio site. Then everything worked. Maybe talk to your provider about giving this headsup to your future signups.
Hope this helps. Was a great format and VERY informative, thanks for having it.
Connecting with You,

Thanks for providing the recording Robert. I wasn’t able to stream the seminar, even after downloading real player. I was also unable to find a phone number and access code to call in by telephone. Thanks for making it available for those of us who may have missed it live

I apologize for the frustration. I’ve asked the tele-seminar company to switch to Windows Media player instead of Real Player.
There were over 900 people who were able to access the streaming audio. I povided that option to everyone who wasn’t an IMA member and gave members the dial in information.
Again, I never want anyone inconvenienced. In hind sight I can see that the Real Player download introduced a hundreds of combinations of browser and operating system that could have been incompatable.
I hope you enjoy the recording now. Feel free to comment if you have questions or comments about the info.
Best wishes.

Thank you, Robert for providing the replay. I had a copy of RealPlayer on my computer, but I downloaded another one from the webinar. RealPlayer started playing other programs, but not your program.
There weren’t any instructions to tell people what to do. I’m glad 900 were able to access the streaming audio. So something worked.
Thank you again for the replay.
