Affiliate Disclosure
In 2015, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) updated its rules regarding Disclosure Compliance. These rules ensure that readers or viewers of web media (blogs, YouTube videos, etc.) are aware if the content creator is sponsored, endorsed, or in partnership with other companies. This means it’s important to disclose when a blogger or website owner is earning compensation from links shared on their site.
In compliance with the FTC guidelines, please assume the following about links and posts on this site: Some of the links on leavebehindthegrind.com are affiliate links, and I may earn a small commission if you make a purchase through one of these links.
What are affiliate links?
Affiliate links are a way for me to earn a small commission when you purchase a product through a link on this website. When you click on an affiliate link and make a purchase, you’re buying directly from the seller (like Amazon or another company). The price remains the same for you, whether you use an affiliate link or a non-affiliate link.
Types of Affiliate Links Used on This Site:
Amazon affiliate links
leavebehindthegrind.com is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program that allows sites like mine to earn fees by linking to Amazon products. Whenever you make a purchase through an Amazon link on my site, I receive a small commission, but it comes at no additional cost to you.
If you click on an Amazon link and add something to your cart within 24 hours, I may receive a commission—even if you purchase something else entirely.
Any link you see that leads to Amazon (e.g., amazon.com or amazon.co.uk) is likely an Amazon affiliate link.
Product affiliate links
I also use other affiliate links for products and services. These work similarly to Amazon links—if you click on a product link and make a purchase, I may earn a small commission or other compensation. This might include e-books, courses, or other online packages.
Again, you won’t pay more for using these affiliate links.
Sponsored Content
At this time, I don’t write sponsored posts. The content I share is intended to be unbiased and based on my genuine experience and research. If I ever do publish sponsored content in the future, I’ll clearly disclose it at the beginning of the post.
