When you visit this blog, you’ll notice that I link to various products and services, which may be affiliate links. This means that if you click the link and make a purchase, I may receive a small commission (at no additional cost to you). I am a MIG Living Independent Ambassador, and I participate in the following affiliate programs: Amazon Associates, Target Affiliate, Shareasale, Rakuten, and Plan To Eat. To make sure I’m compliant with Amazon, I need to say this: As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.
Now that the legal stuff is out of the way, I want to explain my position on affiliate links a little more. I will only link to products and services that I use and love, or ones that I want to buy to use and love. If I haven’t tried a product with an affiliate link, I’ll clearly state that in the blog post or page. For example, I might say that I want to try a certain makeup product, and I’ll also tell you that I haven’t used it yet but it’s on my wish list. Makes sense, right?
A lot of bloggers write that any money earned helps keep their blogs up and running. I’m taking it a step further: Any money earned helps keep me up and running, too! I’m a stay-at-home mom, so any purchase you make through my affiliate links is appreciated much more than you’ll ever know. Yes, the commissions will cover blog expenses, but they’ll also go toward things like saving money to pay for oral immunotherapy to desensitize my daughter to her life-threatening food allergies. And maybe a vacation. Mama needs a vacation.
One more thing: I am an Independent Ambassador for MIG Living, which is a network marketing company. I believe wholeheartedly in the purity and effectiveness of the products, as well as the mission of the company. I never thought I’d join a direct sales company, but I found one that fits so well into this healthy lifestyle I’m pursuing.
