Transparency matters to me. Here’s exactly how this Website earns money and what that means for you.
The Short Version
Some links on Emily Chicken are affiliate links. If you click one and buy something, I may earn a small commission – at no extra cost to you. This helps me keep the lights on and the recipes coming.
I only recommend products I genuinely use and believe in. A commission never influences my opinion.
Amazon Associates Program
Emily Chicken 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.com.
Required Disclosure:
“As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.”
This means:
- When you click links to Amazon products on this Website and make a purchase, I may receive a small commission
- This does not increase the price you pay – it comes from Amazon’s margin
- Amazon may collect data about your browsing and purchasing behavior when you click these links
Other Affiliate Relationships
In addition to Amazon, I may participate in affiliate programs with:
- ShareASale
- CJ Affiliate (Commission Junction)
- Impact
- Individual brand affiliate programs
These relationships work similarly to Amazon – I earn a small commission when you purchase through my links, at no additional cost to you.
How to Identify Affiliate Links
Throughout this site, affiliate links may be identified by:
- Disclosure statements within posts (e.g., “This post contains affiliate links”)
- Phrases like “affiliate link” or “paid link” near links
- This disclosure page linked in the footer
Even when not explicitly marked, assume that links to products may be affiliate links.
FTC Compliance
This disclosure is provided in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s (FTC) guidelines on endorsements and testimonials in advertising, specifically 16 CFR Part 255.
The FTC requires that material connections between advertisers and endorsers be clearly disclosed.
What This Means for You
Affiliate links do NOT:
- Increase the price you pay
- Influence my honest opinions
- Mean I recommend products solely for commission
- Compromise the integrity of my content
Affiliate links DO:
- Help support this Website financially
- Allow me to continue creating free recipes
- Enable me to invest in better content and photography
- Keep this site running without paywalls or subscriptions
My Promise to You
I will never recommend a product just because I can earn a commission. Every product mentioned on this Website meets these criteria:
- I’ve personally used it – or thoroughly researched it
- I genuinely believe it provides value – to you, my readers
- I would recommend it to a friend – even without any commission
If a product doesn’t meet these standards, it doesn’t appear on Emily Chicken. Period.
Sponsored Content
Occasionally, I may partner with brands to create sponsored content. When this happens:
- The post will be clearly marked as “Sponsored” or “In Partnership With”
- I maintain full editorial control over the content
- I only work with brands I trust and products I believe in
- My honest opinions are never for sale
Advertising
This Website displays advertisements through:
- Google AdSense
- Other advertising networks
