How To Disclose and Protect Yourself!

At Success BlogNet, we want to help and inform our readers of any issues that will help bring success.

Disclosure Policies are important to anyone who has a blog for the main reason that it allows the bloggers to self identify any affiliation, payment or other conflicts of interests that may influence the content of a blog.

There are a couple of ways that a responsible blogger can get a disclosure policy on their blog.

The first one is to create a write up on your own. Your disclosure policy should include some details as in a copyright statement, declaring a financial relationship ( for example if you are an affiliate), legal disclaimers and talk about any related content on a 3rd party website.


If you are not into writing legalese, then your second option is to use a free service like Disclosure Policy.org. They have created a very simple way for people to protect themselves and make their blog transparent to the reader.

The Third way to create a Disclosure policy, when you host your own blog then we urge you to get a “Disclosure Policy Plugin™ for Wordpress™”
Take the time to read all about this plugin from the potential Usage to the license requirements.
If Your really can not wait to get through all the written material, then click on download and this will take you to the page of the “Disclosure Policy Plugin™ for Wordpress™” .

There is a fourth way and that is to do nothing. We at Success BlogNet urge you to not let this fourth choice become your first choice.

To Your Success,

    Thanks very much for the information. I may need a bit of guidance on the subject though.

    Hi Walt:

    What many people do not realize is that if you are selling anything on your blog, whether it is your own personal products, or any kind of affiliate products, you need to let people know. If you look on the left hand side here we created a page using the generator at: Disclosure Policy.org. It was a very simple and easy process, where they give you choices on how you want the wording.

    I hope this is of some help to you.

    Thanks for coming in and reading.

    By the way good luck in the BlogNet Awards contest :-)
