Affiliate Disclaimer
woman-trend.com is a participant in several affiliate marketing programs. This means some of the outbound links on our site are “affiliate links.” If you click on an affiliate link and then make a purchase, we may earn a small commission as a reward for referring you – at no extra cost to you. These commissions help support the blog, allowing me to create more content (and fund my coffee habit!).
Here are the key things you should know about affiliate links on woman-trend.com:
-
Transparency: I will only include affiliate links to products or services that I genuinely like, use, or would recommend to a friend. I’m selective about partnerships – if I don’t actually think something is worth your time or money, I won’t promote it just to earn a commission.
-
No Extra Cost: Whether a link is affiliate or not, the price you pay is the same. Using my affiliate links will never cost you anything additional. In some cases, it might even unlock special discounts or promotions (which I’ll mention if so).
-
Affiliate Programs: woman-trend.com participates in common affiliate programs, including the Amazon Associates Program. As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases. This is a standard requirement of the Amazon program – basically, if you buy something on Amazon after clicking my link, I get a small percentage of that sale. Other programs might include affiliate networks for fashion or beauty retailers, etc. Regardless of the program, the principle is the same: click a link, buy an item, I get a tiny commission.
-
Identification: I strive to identify or disclose affiliate links within my content. Often, I’ll include a note in the article (such as “FYI: This post contains affiliate links”) or a parenthetical (affiliate) next to the link. Additionally, this Affiliate Disclaimer page serves as a blanket notice that woman-trend.com uses affiliate links.
-
Your Choice: You are never obligated to use my links. If you feel uncomfortable with affiliate links, you can simply search for the product directly. I truly appreciate when readers do use my links because it supports the blog, but there is zero pressure.
-
Honesty: Commission or not, you’ll get my honest opinions. If I receive a product for free or I’m paid to write about it, I will clearly disclose that in the relevant post (see the Disclosure page for more on sponsored content). Earning a commission will not make me say a product is great if I think it’s not. Trust is more important to me than a few dollars from an affiliate sale.
I’m sharing this information because I believe in transparency and I value your trust. Affiliate marketing is a fairly common practice for bloggers, and it’s one of the ways woman-trend.com can remain up and running. If you have any questions about affiliate links or how they work, feel free to reach out to me at contact@woman-trend.com.
