Introduction
In 2015, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) released new rules for Disclosure Compliance. These rules are designed to ensure that readers or viewers of online media (blogs, YouTube videos, etc.) understand when the blogger/presenter is sponsored, endorsed, or partnered with another company. Essentially, readers need to know if a blogger is making money by sharing a link or promoting a product.
In compliance with FTC guidelines, please assume the following about links and posts on everythingnatureandmore.com: Any/all of the links on this website are affiliate links, for which I receive a small compensation from sales of certain items.
What Are Affiliate Links?
Affiliate links are special tracking links that allow purchases to be made on external websites. When a reader clicks on an affiliate link on everythingnatureandmore.com, they are directed to the seller’s website to complete their purchase (not through everythingnatureandmore.com). Affiliate partners, such as Amazon, Viator, and Expedia, compensate this website for promoting their products or services.
Important:
- Prices are exactly the same for you whether you use an affiliate link or a non-affiliate link.
- You will not pay more by clicking through these links.
Types of Affiliate Programs I Use
1. Amazon Affiliate Links
everythingnatureandmore.com is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for websites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon properties, including but not limited to amazon.com.
How it works:
- If you click an Amazon link on this site and add an item to your shopping cart within 24 hours, I may receive a small percentage of the sale.
- Amazon links are not “pay per click,” meaning I only earn a commission if you make a purchase.
- If you click a product link and purchase another item while still on Amazon, I will earn a commission on that sale as well.
Anytime you see a link that looks like astore.com/… or amazon.com/…, it can be assumed that it is an Amazon affiliate link.
2. Product Affiliate Links
These links work similarly to Amazon affiliate links:
- If you click a product link and purchase an item, I receive a percentage of the sale or other compensation.
- This includes programs like Viator, Expedia, and other nature and travel-related platforms.
For example, clicking on a Viator link to book a tour or an Expedia link to plan your trip may result in a small commission. Prices remain the same for you, and you will not pay extra for using these links.
Note: Unless explicitly stated, affiliate links on this website are not “pay per click.” I only earn when you make a purchase.
What About Sponsored Content?
I do not write sponsored posts. My goal is to provide you with real, unbiased information. However, if a post is sponsored by a company (a paid partnership), I will clearly disclose this at the beginning of the post.
Why Use Affiliate Links?
Affiliate links help support this website by covering hosting fees, content creation, and other costs associated with running everythingnatureandmore.com. Your support through these links is greatly appreciated, as it allows me to continue providing valuable content.
