Our Commitment to Transparency

At www.notonetype.org, we believe in being completely transparent with our readers about how we support our work and keep this Website running.

This Affiliate Disclosure explains our relationship with affiliate programs and how we may earn income when you purchase products or services through links on our Website.

What Are Affiliate Links?

Affiliate links are special tracking links that allow us to earn a commission when you make a purchase through them. These links do not cost you anything extra—the price you pay remains the same whether you use our link or go directly to the retailer’s website.

When you click an affiliate link and make a purchase, the company pays us a small percentage of the sale as a commission. This helps support our work creating free content about lifestyle, wellness, beauty, fashion, and personal development.

Affiliate Programs We Participate In

We participate in various affiliate marketing programs, which may include:

  • ShareASale
  • Commission Junction (CJ)
  • Awin
  • Impact
  • Rakuten Advertising

Direct Brand Partnerships: We may also have direct affiliate relationships with brands in the lifestyle, beauty, wellness, and fashion industries.

The specific programs we work with may change over time as we discover new products and services that benefit our community.

How We Choose What to Recommend

Our affiliate relationships do not influence our editorial decisions or the integrity of our content. We maintain complete independence in what we write about and recommend.

Our Selection Process:

  • We only recommend products or services we genuinely believe may benefit our readers
  • Many recommendations are based on products we have personally used or thoroughly researched
  • We prioritize quality, value, and relevance to our lifestyle and self-care community
  • If we have not personally used a product, we clearly state this in our content

What We Don’t Do:

  • We do not recommend products solely because they offer high commissions
  • We do not compromise our honest opinions for affiliate income
  • We do not hide or disguise affiliate relationships from our readers

Where You’ll Find Affiliate Links

Affiliate links may appear throughout our Website, primarily within articles and blog posts where we share product recommendations, reviews, resource lists, tutorials, how-to guides, gift guides, and seasonal recommendations.

When content contains affiliate links, we clearly disclose this with statements such as “This post contains affiliate links,” “We may earn a commission from purchases made through links on this page,” or “As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases.” These disclosures typically appear at the beginning or end of relevant content to ensure you are always aware when affiliate links are present.

Your Purchase is Your Choice

Important: You are never under any obligation to purchase products through our affiliate links. We share recommendations because we believe they may be helpful, but the decision to purchase is entirely yours.

You Can Choose To:

  • Purchase through our affiliate links to support our work at no extra cost
  • Go directly to the retailer’s website if you prefer
  • Research products further before making any purchase decisions

We encourage you to always do your own research and make informed decisions about purchases.

Impact on Content and Pricing

No Impact on Price: Using our affiliate links does not increase the price you pay. In many cases, we also share discount codes or special offers that can help you save money.

No Impact on Our Recommendations: We strive to provide honest, balanced recommendations regardless of affiliate potential. Articles and reviews reflect our genuine opinions and assessment of products’ value to our readers.

Variety of Recommendations: We regularly recommend both affiliate and non-affiliate products. If a product best serves our readers but doesn’t offer an affiliate program, we still share it.

Compliance with Legal Requirements

We comply with Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines and applicable laws regarding affiliate marketing disclosure, including:

FTC Guidelines (United States): We follow FTC requirements for clear and conspicuous disclosure of affiliate relationships. Our disclosures are designed to be easily noticeable and understandable.

ASA Guidelines (United Kingdom): For UK visitors, we comply with Advertising Standards Authority guidelines on transparency and disclosure.

General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR): When you click affiliate links, affiliate networks may collect certain information. See our Privacy Policy for details on data collection and your rights.

Consumer Rights: Your consumer rights are not affected by our affiliate relationships. All standard return policies, warranties, and guarantees from retailers apply to purchases made through affiliate links.

Other Revenue Streams

In addition to affiliate marketing, we may also generate income through:

Sponsored Content: Occasionally, brands may pay us to create content featuring their products or services. Sponsored content is always clearly labeled as “Sponsored,” “Paid Partnership,” or similar disclosure.

Display Advertising: We may display advertisements through advertising networks. See our Advertising Policy for details.

Digital Products: We may create and sell our own digital products such as guides, planners, or courses.

All revenue helps us continue providing free, valuable content to our community.

Changes to This Disclosure

We may update this Affiliate Disclosure to reflect changes in our affiliate relationships or legal requirements. When we make updates, we will revise the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page.

We encourage you to review this disclosure periodically to stay informed about how we use affiliate links.

  • Create free, valuable content about lifestyle, wellness, beauty, and personal development
  • Research and test products to provide informed recommendations
