Affiliate marketing is a popular way for people to earn income online, and I want to be clear with you about how live-the-affiliate-marketer-lifestyle.com works. The goal is to offer honest recommendations and resources, and I receive a small payment if you choose to buy through certain links on this site. If you read blogs, watch YouTube videos, or check out other online content, you might have seen some of these links described as “affiliate links.” Here, I’ll explain what that means for you as a reader and how it affects your experience on this site.
According to guidelines set by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC Endorsement Guides), websites are expected to let you know if they earn money by sharing links or suggestions. So, you can assume that most links to products or services on live-the-affiliate-marketer-lifestyle.com are affiliate links. If you click one and make a purchase, I may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you.
Getting Into Affiliate Links
When you click an affiliate link on live-the-affiliate-marketer-lifestyle.com, you are sent to another company’s website to finish your order. I do not personally sell any physical or digital products directly. Companies like Amazon or other online stores pay me for helping send buyers to their sites.
There is no difference in price for you. Using an affiliate link does not increase your cost in any way. Whether you use my link or go straight to the seller, your price stays the same.
I care about being open with readers, and I want you to feel at ease making informed choices while checking out the content on this site. Being honest lets us build trust, and it helps you understand exactly how things work behind the scenes.
Types of Affiliate Programs I Use
I work with two main kinds of affiliate programs:
Amazon Affiliate Links
live-the-affiliate-marketer-lifestyle.com is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program. This means when you see a link to an Amazon product and buy after clicking it, I get a small commission from Amazon. This applies if you buy the item I recommend or even other qualifying purchases during the same visit. These links are not pay per click. I only earn if you actually buy something.
Links that look like amazon.com/… or include “astore” in the address are usually Amazon affiliate links. This is a standard practice for many websites sharing tools and resources.
Other Product Affiliate Links
I also share individual products, ebooks, digital courses, and marketing resources. These work in a similar way to Amazon links; if you buy after clicking, I may get some compensation from the seller. Your price won’t change, and I am only paid if you complete your purchase—not for simply clicking. Any link to an ecourse, tool, or bundle is likely an affiliate link unless otherwise noted.
How I Handle Sponsored Content and Site Integrity
My focus is on sharing honest opinions and true recommendations. If I ever team up with a company for a paid sponsorship, you will see that clearly stated at the beginning of the post. At the moment, I do not accept or write paid sponsored posts. I aim to keep my content as helpful and trustworthy as possible, so you can check out recommendations with confidence. If this changes in the future, you will be informed at the start of any sponsored post.
Wrapping up, affiliate marketing helps keep this site running while ensuring that you get legit and honest guidance on digital products and resources. If you have questions about affiliates or want to know more about how these programs work, feel free to ask anytime.
