1. What Is an Affiliate Link?

An affiliate link is a special URL that tracks referrals to third-party websites. When you click one of these links and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission—at no extra cost to you.

Affiliate programs we may participate in include (but are not limited to):

✔ Amazon Associates
✔ ShareASale
✔ CJ Affiliate (Commission Junction)
✔ Impact Radius
✔ Rakuten Advertising
✔ Independent affiliate programs

2. Why Do We Use Affiliate Links?

We use affiliate marketing to:

✔ Support our website’s operational costs (hosting, design, content creation)
✔ Recommend products that align with our mission (creative tools, educational resources, etc.)
✔ Help you discover trusted, high-quality items we’ve personally used or researched

We only recommend products or services we genuinely believe are beneficial to our audience.

3. Does Affiliate Marketing Affect Our Content?

No. Our editorial integrity is our top priority:

✔ We base recommendations on experience, research, or expert input
✔ Affiliate relationships do not influence our content or product ratings
✔ Sponsored content is clearly disclosed

Our goal is to keep our content helpful, unbiased, and aligned with your creative and family-friendly needs.

4. How Do We Disclose Affiliate Relationships?

To comply with FTC guidelines, we disclose affiliate relationships in the following ways:

✔ In-Post Disclosures: Clearly placed at the beginning or within blog posts
✔ Footer Disclosure: A general statement on all site pages
✔ Dedicated Affiliate Disclosure Page: This page serves as our official statement

Example:
“This post contains affiliate links. If you make a purchase through these links, we may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you. Thank you for supporting Kiddos Crayons!”
