I am looking to get into Affiliate Marketing and have been reading up and studying to help me. I thought of a couple questions while researching.
1) How does the new FTC law affect Affiliate Marketers? Do we have to state that we are being paid commission as a blogger does?
2) Has anyone ever been sued by anyone for a product they advertised for? Are we held responsible if someone has a problem with a product or something we are representing?
For example: If an affiliate is campaigning an ebook on natural cures or weight loss secrets and someone gets sick or something from following advice, can the affiliate be held responsible or does it fall on the creator of the product?
3) I assume that Affiliate Marketers are responsible for reporting their own taxes. Does anyone have any tips or know of any software to help keep track of things?
