Disclosure about Products I Recommend

This blog and website is written and edited by me. For questions about this website and blog, please contact  Michael Hartzell at www.michaelhartzell.com.
 
This website and blog accepts forms of cash advertising, sponsorship, paid insertions or other forms of compensation.
 
* Disclosures: If you happen to purchase anything I recommend in this or any of my communications, it's likely I'll receive some kind of affiliate compensation. Still, I only recommend stuff that I truly love, use and happily share with friends and family. If you ever have an issue with anything I recommend please let me know. I always have your back, and your growth and happiness in mind.
 
The compensation received does not influence the advertising content, topics or posts made in this blog. That content, advertising space or post may not always be identified as paid or sponsored content. 
 
The owner(s) of this blog may be compensated to provide opinion on products, services, websites and various other topics.  Even though the owner(s) of this blog receives compensation for posts or advertisements, we always give our honest opinions, findings, beliefs, or experiences on those topics or products.  The views and opinions expressed on this blog are purely the bloggers' own.  Any product claim, statistic, quote or other representation about a product or service should be verified with the manufacturer, provider or party in question.

This blog does contain content which might present a conflict of interest. This content may not always be identified.
 
The list of products on the right are sponsors or I am an affiliate of.  These are companies who's products I love to use.  I recommend them because they make business (and life) is easier for people (including you and me).  I may receive an affiliate commission when you click the link and then make a purchase. 
 
I also recommend many FREE tools.  (FREE is my first choice when possible) and you can find a complete list of all software I love to use on Business Success Guide for the Entrepreneur.
 
Which products do you recommend?  Let me know so I can try them out.  Be sure to give me YOUR affiliate link so there is luv sent back to you as well.
 
You will notice throughout the website that I proudly recommend books I have read, products I use.  Amazon is one such website.  That is how the website system works.  Offer great content, help others with business or personal life and have links to various websites which pay a commission should a purchase been made.  This is a win-win-win. 
 
There will be links throughout this website which sends you to my ebay store.  You receive my personal attention and service when you buy.  Please note that many of my products on eBay have donation to such organizations as Sturge-Weber Foundation.
 
This is only a small supplemental portion of my income to my offline workshops and coaching. 
 
Happy to show you how it works.  Contact Michael Hartzell.
 
Do you have questions about how affiliate systems work?  I recommend Lynn Terry at
Clicknewz.com or WealthyAffiliate.com to learn more.
