Affiliate Links Disclosure

In 2015, the Federal Trade Commission released their new rules for Disclosure Compliance. These rules are set in place to ensure that readers or viewers of web media know if the website owner is sponsored, endorsed, or partnered with a different company. In simpler terms, readers must know if the website owner is making money by sharing a link or product.

In compliance with the FTC guidelines, please assume that the majority of third-party links on SpiritGuideConnection.com are affiliate links of which a small compensation from sales of certain items is received.

What are affiliate links?

Affiliate links are links to products on external third party/affiliate company websites. For example, when you click on an affiliate link located on a website such as this one to purchase an item, you buy the item from the seller directly using their checkout provider and not the original website’s (as is the case with products linked to Amazon.com). Amazon and/or other companies then pay the original website owner a small commission for promoting their website and/or products through their affiliate program.

Affiliate Programs associated with SpiritGuideConnection.com

Amazon offers a small commission on products sold through their affiliate links. Each of your purchases via SpiritGuideConnection.com’s Amazon affiliate links supports this website at no additional cost to you (prices are the same through affiliate links as they are on the main company website).

  2. Shamans Market — Vanessa Stewart is an approved affiliate for Shamans Market. By purchasing Shamans Market products through affiliate links provided on SpiritGuideConnection.com, Vanessa Stewart earns a small commission which goes towards supporting this website.
