In my writing, I link to items and websites using affiliate links –links that will earn me a small commission if you make a purchase. Most of the affiliate links I use are for products we regularly use and enjoy (things I would have told you about anyway.)
That said, when I do use affiliate links I:
- Make sure that the information I’m offering is true, correct, and my own opinion.
- Post links to items and websites I feel positively about/think my readers will genuinely be interested in.
- Speak truthfully. If I say I bought, used, tried, or ordered something, I did.
- Welcome any feedback on items, offers and websites I link to – good or bad.
- Use an affiliate link for something I am already going to blog about if I have one.
- Indicate at the top of a post if affiliate links are used.
- Indicate at the bottom of the post whether I was compensated in some way other than through an affiliate link, such as a being given a free product to try or being given a book to review. As of 2018 I no longer write paid or compensated reviews.
I like the items I link to, or I wouldn’t share them. You may not like everything I like–and that’s okay. But feel free to leave a comment on such posts and share your own personal experience with any product, link or website that I link to or promote. Discussion is always welcome.
