Affiliate
Disclosure
FTC Disclosure
Compliance Rules
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 are aware if the blogger or publisher is
sponsored, endorsed, or partnered with a different company. The readers need to
know if the content publisher 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:
Any/all of the links on https://viyoshop.blogspot.com are affiliate links for which I receive a small compensation from sales of certain items.
What Are Affiliate
Links?
Purchases are made on external affiliate
company websites: when a reader clicks on an affiliate link located on viyoshop.blogspot.com
to purchase an item, the reader buys the item from the seller directly (not
from viyoshop.blogspot).
Amazon and/or other companies pay viyoshop.blogspot
a small commission or other compensation for helping to bring customers to
their website.
Prices are exactly the same for readers
whether they purchase is through an affiliate link or a non-affiliate
link. Clicking an affiliate link and clicking a non-affiliate link
does not change the price or anything else for the visitor.
viyoshop.blogspot uses two main types of
affiliate programs:
1. Amazon affiliate
links.
viyoshop.blogspot.com is a participant in the
Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program
designed to provide a means for website owners to earn fees by linking to
Amazon.com and affiliated sites, as well as to other websites that may be
affiliated with Amazon Service LLC Associates Program.
2. Product affiliate links.
If you click a product affiliate link and buy
the product, then I will get a percentage of the sale or some other
type of compensation.
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.”
What about sponsored
content?
I do not write sponsored posts. I want to
provide authentic, un-based information. However, if a company would like to
publish sponsored content on viyoshop.blogspot, I will disclose this clearly in
the beginning of the post.
The bottom line is
that I only recommend products I use myself or that I would recommend to family
and friends.
Your purchase helps support my research
efforts. Thank you very, very much! I appreciate you!
