What Are Affiliate Links?

Affiliate links are special URLs that track when a reader clicks through from my website to a retailer's site. If you make a purchase after clicking one of these links, I receive a small commission from the retailer. This comes at absolutely no additional cost to you—the price you pay is exactly the same whether you use my link or go directly to the retailer's website.

Amazon Associates Program

VelvetNest 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.com.

As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases. This means when you click on an Amazon link on my site and make a purchase, I may receive a small percentage of that sale.

Other Affiliate Partnerships

In addition to Amazon, VelvetNest may participate in other affiliate programs with:

• ShopStyle Collective
• RewardStyle / LTK
• Individual brand affiliate programs

All affiliate relationships are disclosed in accordance with FTC guidelines.

My Commitment to You

I want to be completely transparent about how I earn income from this blog while maintaining your trust:

• Honest recommendations: I only recommend products I have personally used, thoroughly researched, or genuinely believe in. My opinions are never for sale.
• No inflated prices: Using my affiliate links never costs you more than buying directly from the retailer.
• Clear disclosure:Affiliate links are clearly identified throughout the site, often with phrases like "affiliate link" or through disclosure banners.
• Quality over commissions: I never recommend a product simply because it offers a higher commission. My recommendations are based solely on quality and value.

Why I Use Affiliate Links

Creating content for VelvetNest takes significant time and resources—from researching and testing products to photographing, writing, and maintaining the website. Affiliate income helps offset these costs and allows me to:

• Keep the blog free for all readers
• Continue creating high-quality content
• Test and review new products
• Maintain and improve the website

How to Identify Affiliate Links

On VelvetNest, affiliate links may be identified by:

• Disclosure statements at the top or bottom of posts
• Text noting "affiliate link" near the link
• Disclosure banners on shopping pages
• Links that redirect through affiliate networks

Your Choice

You are under no obligation to use my affiliate links. If you prefer, you can always go directly to a retailer's website to make your purchase. However, if you find my content helpful and want to support VelvetNest at no cost to you, using my affiliate links is a wonderful way to do so.
