Affiliate Disclosure


In 2015, the Federal Trade Commission released its new rules for Disclosure Compliance. These rules are in place to ensure that readers or viewers of web media (blogs, YouTube videos, etc.) know whether the blogger/presenter is sponsored, endorsed, or partnered with another company. In blog terms, readers need to know whether the blogger is compensated for sharing a link or a product.

In compliance with the FTC guidelines, please assume the following about links and posts on this site: Any/all of the links on SellByOwnerWebsites.com are affiliate links, for which we 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 an affiliate link on SellByOwnerWebsites.com to purchase an item, the reader buys the item directly from the seller (not from SellByOwnerWebsites.com). Amazon and/or other companies pay SellByOwnerWebsites.com a small commission or other compensation to promote their websites or products through their affiliate programs.

Prices are the same for you whether you purchase through an affiliate link or a non-affiliate link. You will not pay more by clicking through to the link.

We use two main types of affiliate programs:

1. Amazon affiliate links.

SellByOwnerWebsites.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 its affiliate links.

If a blogger 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 blogger gets a small percentage of the sale. Amazon links are not “pay per click.” If you click the product link, stay on Amazon, and purchase something else, we will get a commission on that sale.

Anytime you see a link that looks like astore.com/… or amazon.com… it can be assumed to be an Amazon affiliate link.

2. Product affiliate links.

These affiliate links work the same way: if you click the link and make a purchase, the blogger receives a percentage of the sale or another form of compensation. Products such as e-book bundles, e-courses, and online packages are usually affiliate links as well. Again, prices are the same whether 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?

We do not write sponsored posts. We want to bring you real, unbiased information. However, if a post is sponsored by a company, we will clearly disclose this at the beginning of the post.
