FTC Disclosure Compliance Rules
In 2015, the Federal Trade Commission released its new rules for Disclosure Compliance.
These rules are set in place to ensure that web media readers or viewers are aware if the blogger or publisher is sponsored, endorsed, or partnered with a different company. The readers need to know if the content publisher is making money by sharing a link or product.
In compliance with the FTC guidelines, please assume the following about links and posts on this site:
Any/all of the links on NootanCrafts are affiliate links for which I 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 on an affiliate link located on NootanCrafts to purchase an item, the reader buys the item from the seller directly (not from NootanCrafts).
Amazon and/or other companies pay NootanCrafts a small commission or other compensation for helping to bring customers to their website.
Prices are exactly the same for readers whether they purchase through an affiliate or non-affiliate link. Clicking an affiliate link and clicking a non-affiliate link does not change the price or anything else for the visitor.
NootanCrafts uses two main types of affiliate programs:
1. Amazon affiliate links.
As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
2. Product affiliate links.
If you click a product affiliate link and buy the product, I will get a percentage of the sale or some other type of compensation.
Again, prices are not different if you use these affiliate links. You will not pay more by clicking through the link. These links are not “pay per click.”
What about sponsored content?
I do not write sponsored posts. I want to provide authentic, unbiased information. However, if a company would like to publish sponsored content on NootanCrafts, I will disclose this clearly at the beginning of the post.
Your purchase helps support my work. Thank you very, very much! I appreciate you!
