Advertising Rules Proposed for Business Opportunities in the General MediaTip! One of the best ways to advertise on the Internet is to publish articles around your business. Most surfers like to do research on the business before joining up. There are new rules being proposed for Business Opportunities (Biz Ops), which advertise in the General Media, such as Infomercials, Websites, Radio, Cable or Pod Caste. Have you ever heard some of the business opportunity advertisements out there? Make $10,000 per month stuffing envelopes part-time from your own home? And you are thinking yah right? Sure I am going to make 10K monthly working a few hours a day in my under ware? Well The Federal Trade Commission agrees, so they have proposed a new set of rules to govern business opportunity advertising in the general media and here is their proposed rule. Proposed section 437.4(b): General media claims "Proposed section 437.4(b) would address the making of earnings claims in the general media.197 Specifically, a seller can make an earnings claim in the general media provided the seller: (1) Has a reasonable basis for the claim at the time the claim is made; (2) Has written material that substantiates the claim at the time the claim is made; (3) States in immediate conjunction with the claim the beginning and ending date when the represented earnings were achieved and the number and percentage of those who have achieved the presented earnings in the given time period.
200 These requirements are necessary to prevent deceptive and misleading earnings representations in advertisements, as well as to enable a prospect to assess the typicality of any advertised earnings claim." If you are a seller or specialist in the Business Opportunity sector you may wish to comment on this proposed set of rules by the Federal Trade Commission. If you are in the advertising industry, heads up to you also, as you may wish to perhaps ask some questions when your hear outrageous claims from your clients. Consider all this in 2006.
