Many affiliate marketers who have flourished and earned $$$$$$ making videos with dodgy claims will be no more be able to do this. As with every unfortunate new regulation many honest affiliate marketers will also get hurt and earnings affected
A few things that are not Allowed with Some Online affilaite marketing agencies :
Vendors must submit a script prior to shooting the video. Videos will not be accepted without a script pre-review.
- Videos that portray or reference a fictionalized individual or life story, where a vendor makes false claims as part of the product pitch.
- Videos that portray or reference the vendor him or herself, where the vendor makes false claims about his earnings and experience as part of the product pitch.
