In 2015, the Federal Trade Commission released their new rules for Disclosure Compliance. These rules are set in place to ensure that readers or viewers of web media (blogs, Youtube videos, etc.) know if the blogger/presenter is sponsored, endorsed, or partnered with a different company. In blog terms, the readers need to know if the blogger 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 freecryptoassets.com are affiliate links of 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 freecryptoassets.com to purchase an item, the reader buys the item from the seller directly (not from freecryptoassets.com). Amazon and/or other companies pay freecryptoassets.com a small commission or other compensation for promoting their website or products through their affiliate program.
Prices are exactly the same for you if your purchase is through an affiliate link or a non-affiliate link. You will not pay more by clicking through the link.
I use two main types of affiliate programs:
1. Product affiliate links.
If you click the link and buy the product, then the blogger gets a percentage of the sale or some other type of compensation. Things like e-book bundles, e-courses, and online packages are usually affiliate links, as well. 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” unless otherwise denoted.
2. Referral affiliate links
These affiliate links work by providing the blogger a “referral bonus” when someone signs up to a website using the particular affiliate link. These links usually will benefit both the person signing up with the link and the blogger. Both recipients will receive a “bonus” on initial signup and possibly on all future earnings that are made with the use of the website. The website to which you are directed will have all the information regarding referral bonuses
What about sponsored content?
I do not write sponsored posts. I want to bring you real, unbiased information. However, if a post is sponsored by a company and it is a paid sponsorship, I will disclose this clearly in the beginning of the post.
