Affiliate Disclosure
Understanding Affiliate Links & How They Work
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) updated its Disclosure Compliance rules in 2015 to ensure transparency in web media. These rules require bloggers, YouTubers, and other online creators to disclose any sponsorships, endorsements, or partnerships.
In simple terms, this means that readers should know if a blogger earns a commission from a link or product recommendation.
In compliance with these guidelines, please assume the following about links and posts on MidlifeMagicWomen.com: Some of the links on this site are affiliate links, meaning I receive a small commission if you purchase through them. This commission comes at no additional cost to you.
What Are Affiliate Links?
Affiliate links are special links that track purchases made through them. When you click on an affiliate link from MidlifeMagicWomen.com to purchase a product, you are buying directly from the seller (such as Amazon), not from my website. In return, I receive a small percentage of the sale as compensation for recommending the product.
Important Notes:
✔️ Prices remain the same for you. Whether you use an affiliate link or go directly to the retailer’s website, you will not pay extra.
✔️ Affiliate links do not impact your shopping experience. Your purchase is handled by the external website (e.g., Amazon).
✔️ Not all links on this site are affiliate links. I only promote products I trust and believe can benefit my readers.
Types of Affiliate Programs I Use
1. Amazon Affiliate Links
MidlifeMagicWomen.com participates in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program that allows websites to earn advertising fees by linking to Amazon.com and other Amazon properties.
Here’s how it works:
- If you click on an Amazon affiliate link and purchase a product within 24 hours, I receive a small commission.
- If you add an item to your cart within 24 hours but purchase it later, I still receive a commission.
- If you click on an affiliate link and buy something else on Amazon (not the linked product), I may still earn a commission.
- Affiliate links are not pay-per-click—I only earn when you make a purchase.
Anytime you see a link that looks like amazon.com/…, it may be an Amazon affiliate link.
2. Product & Service Affiliate Links
In addition to Amazon, I also promote other products and services, including e-books, courses, and online programs. These links work the same way: if you click on them and make a purchase, I may earn a commission.
Again, your cost remains the same, and these links are never pay-per-click unless stated otherwise.
My Policy on Sponsored Content
I do not write sponsored posts because I want to provide honest, unbiased recommendations. However, if I ever publish a post that is sponsored (meaning I receive direct payment from a company to feature their product or service), I will clearly disclose this at the beginning of the post.
Why This Matters & How You Support My Work
Affiliate commissions allow me to continue creating valuable content for you—at no extra cost to you. I only recommend products and services that I genuinely trust and believe will benefit my readers.
If you choose to use my affiliate links, I deeply appreciate your support. It helps me keep MidlifeMagicWomen.com running and allows me to keep providing free content that empowers midlife women on their journey toward self-love, confidence, and transformation.
Thank you! 💜
