Affiliate Disclosure
In 2015, the Federal Trade Commission released their new rules for Disclosure Compliance. These regulations are implemented to ensure transparency for readers or viewers of web media (such as blogs, YouTube videos, etc.), informing them whether the blogger/presenter has any sponsorship, endorsement, or partnership with other companies. In blog context, it’s crucial for readers to be aware if the blogger is financially benefiting from sharing a link or product.
In adherence to FTC guidelines, it is important to assume the following about links and posts on this site: Any/all links leading to Steepdiscounts.net are affiliate links, through which I may receive a small compensation from sales of certain items.
What is an Affiliate Link?
Purchases are made on external affiliate company websites: When a reader clicks on an affiliate link located on .com to purchase an item, the reader buys the item from the seller directly (not from Steepdiscounts.net). Steep discounts receives a small commission or other compensation from Amazon and/or other companies for promoting their website or products through their affiliate program.
Prices remain exactly the same for you whether your purchase is through an affiliate link or a non-affiliate link. Clicking through to the link will not result in you paying more.
We use two main types of affiliate programs:
1. Amazon Affiliate Links
As an Amazon Associate, Steep Discounts earn from qualifying purchases. Steepdiscounts.net 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. Each of your purchases via our Amazon affiliation links supports our cause at no additional cost to you.
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 commission on that sale.
Anytime you see a link that looks like astore.com/… or amazon.com… it can be assumed that it is an Amazon affiliate link.
This doesn’t cost you anything and helps us maintain the site.
CERTAIN CONTENT THAT APPEARS STEEP DISCOUNTS COMES FROM AMAZON. THIS CONTENT IS PROVIDED ‘AS IS’ AND IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE OR REMOVAL AT ANY TIME
2. Product Affiliate Links.
The functionality of these affiliate links is consistent: when you click the link and make a purchase, the blogger earns a percentage of the sale or another form of compensation. Items such as e-book bundles, e-courses, and online packages typically utilize affiliate links as well. It’s important to note that prices remain the same regardless of whether you use these affiliate links, meaning you won’t pay more by clicking through to them. These links typically aren’t “pay per click,” unless specifically stated otherwise.
What about sponsored content?
We refrain from crafting sponsored posts to maintain a commitment to delivering authentic, unbiased information. Nevertheless, in the event of a post being sponsored by a company and constituting a paid sponsorship, we will transparently disclose this fact at the outset of the post.
