Affiliate Disclosure

In 2015, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) released updated guidelines for disclosure compliance. These rules are designed to ensure that readers or viewers of online media (blogs, videos, and similar content) understand whether the creator is sponsored, endorsed, or in partnership with a company.

Put simply, when a blogger shares a link or product, readers should know whether the blogger may receive compensation.

In accordance with FTC guidelines, please assume the following regarding links found on ChicChatStudio.com:
Some of the links on this website may be affiliate links, for which I may receive a small commission.

๐ŸŒ What Are Affiliate Links?

When readers click on an affiliate link on ChicChatStudio.com, they are directed to an external retailer or company website to make a purchase.
The purchase is made directly from the seller, not from ChicChatStudio.com.

Companies such as Amazon may provide a small commission or other compensation to this website for promoting their products through an affiliate programme.

Please note:

  • Prices are exactly the same for you whether you use an affiliate link or a non-affiliate link.
  • You will never pay more by clicking through an affiliate link.

Types of Affiliate Programmes I Use

1๏ธโƒฃ Amazon Affiliate Links

ChicChatStudio.com participates in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Programme, an affiliate advertising programme designed to provide a means for websites to earn advertising fees by linking to Amazon properties, including (but not limited to) Amazon.com.

If a reader clicks an Amazon affiliate link (which contains a unique tracking code) and places an item into their shopping basket within 24 hours, I may receive a small commission from that sale.

Additional notes:

  • Amazon affiliate links are not โ€œpay-per-clickโ€.
  • If you click through an Amazon link and later purchase a different item during the same session, I may still receive a commission.
  • Any links that appear as โ€œamazon.com/โ€ฆโ€ or similar should be assumed to be Amazon affiliate links.

2๏ธโƒฃ Product Affiliate Links

These operate in a similar way:
If you click a product link and proceed to make a purchase, I may earn a commission or receive other forms of compensation.

Common examples include:

  • E-book bundles
  • Online courses
  • Digital products and subscription packages

Again:

  • Prices are not different when using an affiliate link.
  • Unless specifically noted, these are not โ€œpay-per-clickโ€ links.

๐Ÿ’ฌ Sponsored Content

I do not write sponsored posts, as I aim to provide genuine and unbiased information.

However, if a post is sponsored and I have been paid to feature it, this will always be disclosed clearly at the beginning of the article.
