Disclosure

Tim Ferriss kindly provided this great copy material, he’s a generous genius and we even recommend checking out his book, The Four Hour Work Week.

This blog is not primarily financially driven. If it were, I would have advertising and sell more stuff.

That said, beginning December 1, 2009, the FTC requires bloggers to provide disclosures whenever there could be hidden interests or unspoken biases related to recommendations.

First, the obvious: AllStruck is a company, we provide services and support to other companies and individuals, sometimes even recommending or purchasing other third-party services.

Second, the less obvious: If we interview someone and they grab the bill for lunch, we would need to specify this, as we would if we use an Amazon link that gets us 8 cents instead of an Amazon link that gets us 0 cents. If someone gives us a comfy t-shirt with a logo and we display it in a photo, ditto. Disclaimers all over.

This would be tedious for us and a continual eye sore for you. But rules are rules.

To cover our assets and preserve your experience, please assume that, for every recommendation, link, and product we use, one or more of the following may all hold true:
