FTC Disclosure Policy

The United State Federal Trade Commission requires that we disclose the relationship between ourselves and product manufacturers or owners or training or service providers that we write reviews about. Therefore the following is a list of guidelines that we abide by on all product reviews found on Make It In Music.

Most of the reviews or references found on Make It In Music are for products, services or training (referred to herein as ‘product’ or ‘products’) that we either currently use and own, or have used and owned in the past. If we have not used a product we will state that in the review, which in essence is more of an overview as opposed to an actual review. We have invested our own time and money into personally owning and using almost every product we have reviewed. The majority of these products are items we do in fact use every day.

If you click on a link to visit a product website that we have reviewed we may receive a commission upon you making a purchase from the vendor’s website.

We do not receive compensation of any kind from manufacturers, advertisers or affiliates in exchange for favorable reviews. All reviews are factual statements of our experiences with and opinions of said product or service.

All comments left by visitors to our site are expressly their own opinion and not necessarily the opinion of Make It In Music. We allow commentary from visitors so that you may receive a more objective view of the products without having to solely take our word for it. As such, we greatly value the opinion of our readers. If you have utilized any of the products listed on our site we strongly encourage you to share your opinions via ratings and comments for others to see when making a purchasing decision.

We feel it is important that you understand the relationship between a product manufacturer or owner and an affiliate. As a product reviewer we may receive an affiliate commission if you make a purchase via our link from our website to a manufacturer’s website. However if you go directly to the manufacturer’s website without using our link, we will not earn a commission. We hope that if you found our site and reviews helpful in making your purchase decision you will reward us by utilizing our link.

Thank you very much for being a follower and/or reader of our site, we hope we have been able to help you as well as continue to help you in the future.
