At Studio WY (https://www.studiowy.com), we believe in transparency and honesty. 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 (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 of the links STUDIOWY.com are affiliate links of which I receive a small compensation from sales of certain items.
What Are Affiliate Links?
Affiliate links are unique tracking links that allow external companies to identify where a purchase came from. If you click on an affiliate link found on StudioWY.com and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission or other type of compensation from the vendor—at no additional cost to you.
Purchases are always made on external affiliate company websites, not directly through StudioWY.com. These companies handle all aspects of your transaction, including customer service, payments, shipping, and delivery.
How It Works:
- You click on an affiliate link on StudioWY.com
- You are redirected to the product or service’s website
- If you make a purchase, we may earn a small referral commission
Again, you do not pay more by using our affiliate links. Prices are the same whether you purchase through an affiliate link or a non-affiliate link. You will not pay more by clicking through to the link.
In fact, in some cases, you may receive discounts or special offers through our links.
Why Do We Use Affiliate Links?
Running a website, creating tutorials, and providing free resources takes time and effort. Affiliate links are one of the ways we fund the work we do at StudioWY.com, so we can continue offering SEO tips, WordPress guidance, and web design insights without charging for access.
We only promote products and services that align with our mission to help you grow your online business. If we wouldn’t use it ourselves, we won’t recommend it.
Types of Affiliate Links We Use
1. Product/Service Affiliate Links
We participate in various affiliate programs for tools, services, and resources related to web design, SEO, WordPress, and digital marketing. This may include:
- Web hosting services (e.g., SiteGround, Bluehost)
- WordPress themes and plugins
- SEO tools (e.g., Semrush, Ahrefs)
- Online courses, eBooks, and software
If you click one of these affiliate links and make a purchase, we may earn a commission or receive another form of compensation.
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.
2. Amazon Affiliate Links
On occasion, we may recommend products available on Amazon.com. StudioWY.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.
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.
Sponsored Content
At this time, StudioWY.com does not publish sponsored posts. We are committed to providing genuine, unbiased content for our readers.
If we ever decide to publish sponsored content in the future, we will clearly disclose it at the beginning of the post so you can make an informed decision.
