FAQ:

What is an affiliate link?

An affiliate link is a link that is specially formatted for members that are participating in certain company’s affiliate programs. If this link is used by others to purchase products or services, the member will then earn compensation.

Does an affiliate link affect how much I pay?

No, not at all. Think of it more as commission. The customer purchasing products will only pay the price of the item(s) that they purchase.

What does cookies have to do with affiliate links?

Cookies help to make the entire process possible. Once you click the link, the cookie makes it possible for the store to track your progress and take note of any transactions. This will help the organization to calculate how much to pay the individual in their program.

Are affiliate links safe?

Don’t worry, they’re completely safe. Besides the cookie aspect, they are just like any other link that you’ve clicked on. You may have clicked on dozens, if not more, of these links before without noticing.

What if I don’t want to take part in this?

The solution is simple…just don’t click the link. You are not required to use the link. If you want to still get the product/service, you can just go directly to the business’s website and purchase your items there. But remember the links aren’t harmful at all.

Why do I keep seeing an affiliate disclosure?

This is for two reasons. The number one reason is because it would be illegal to not disclose the link. This goes against the rules created by the FTC. If you would like to learn more information about the topic you can read more information here. The other reason is because it would be unethical to know that I could potentially be earning compensation without others knowing it.
