In 2015, the Federal Trade Commission released their new rules for Disclosure Compliance. These rules are set in place to ensure that readers or viewers of web media (blogs, Youtube videos, etc.) know if the blogger/presenter is sponsored, endorsed, or partnered with a different company. In blog terms, the readers need to know if the blogger is making money by sharing a link or product.
In compliance with the FTC guidelines, please assume the following about links and posts on this site
All/any links kerryann-myway.com are affiliate links of which I receive a small compensation from sales of certain items.
Although not all of the links at kerryann-myway.com are affiliate links, you should assume that any links that leave this website and take you to another are affiliate links.
What are affiliate links?
Purchases are made on external affiliate company websites: When a reader clicks on an affiliate link located on kerryann-myway.com to purchase an item, the reader buys the item from the seller directly (not from me). Amazon and/or other companies pay KerryAnn a small commission or other compensation for promoting their website or products through their affiliate program.
Prices are exactly the same for you if your purchase is through an affiliate link or a non-affiliate link. You will not pay more by clicking through to the link.
I use two main types of affiliate programs:
1. Amazon affiliate links.
Kerryann-myway.com is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon properties including, but not limited to, amazon.com. Amazon offers a small commission on products sold through their affiliate links. Each of your purchases via our Amazon affiliation links will support me at no additional cost to you.
If a website links to an Amazon product (with a special code for affiliates embedded in the link), and a reader places an item in their “shopping cart” through that link within 24 hours of clicking the link, the website owner gets a small percentage of the sale. Amazon links are not “pay per click.” If you click on the product link and stay around Amazon and purchase something else, however, I will get a commission on that sale.
Anytime you see a link that looks like a store.com/… or amazon.com… it can be assumed that it is an Amazon affiliate link.
2. Product affiliate links.
These affiliate links work the same way: if you click the link and buy the product, then I get a percentage of the sale or some other type of compensation. Things like e-books, e-courses, software, and online packages are usually affiliate links. Again, prices are not different if you use these affiliate links. You will not pay more by clicking through to the link. These links are not “pay per click” unless otherwise denoted.
What about sponsored content?
I do not write sponsored posts. I want to bring you real, unbiased information. However, if a post is sponsored by a company and it is a paid sponsorship, I will disclose this clearly at the beginning of the post.
Any Questions?
If you have any questions about a specific product, my relationship with a company, or this affiliate disclosure, you can always email me at kerryann@kerryann-myway.com.
