Affiliate Disclosure


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 the links https://www.ack-son.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 https://www.ack-son.com/ to purchase an
item, the reader buys the item from the seller directly (not from https://www.ack-son.com/.
Amazon and/or other companies pay https://www.ack-son.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 to the link.
 
I use two main types of affiliate programs:
 
1. Amazon affiliate links.
https://www.ack-son.com/ is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC
Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon properties including, but not limited to, amazon.com.

Amazon offers a small commission on products sold through their affiliate links.
If a blogger links to an Amazon product (with a special code for affiliates embedded
in the link), and a reader places an item in their “shopping cart” through that link
within 24 hours of clicking the link, the blogger gets a small percentage of the sale.
Amazon links are not “pay per click.”

If you click on the product link and stay around Amazon and purchase something else, however, I will get a commission on that sale.
Anytime you see a link that looks like store.com/… or amazon.com… it can be assumed that it is an Amazon affiliate link.

2. Product affiliate links.

These affiliate links work the same way: 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 affiliated links, as well.

Again, prices are not different if you use these affiliate links. You will not pay more by clicking through to the link.
These links are not “pay per click” unless otherwise denoted.
 
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 at the beginning of the post.

If you have any questions regarding the above, please do not hesitate to contact me by using the contact page. It can be accessed on the menu above.
Cheers and good luck!
