Amazon and Other Affiliate Links--The Full Disclosure

This is my full disclosure on the use of Amazon, Bookshop.org, and Rakuten/Kobo affiliate links:




First off, I do not make a living, in any way, off of these links.


At this time, Barnes and Nobles links are NOT affiliate links. I do not get any percentage back from your purchase through them.


Amazon links ARE affiliate links, including the Amazon shop page on the sidebar (Under "Looking for a book? | Support the blog: Shop Amazon"). The Audible graphic in the sidebar is also an affiliate link.


The Bookshop.org links are affiliate links, and I do get a percentage if you make an order through that link.


The Kobo / Rakuten links are also now affiliate links, and I do get a percentage if you make an order through that link.



My thought is this: if you are already interested in buying a certain product, say after reading my review on it, and there happens to be links to Amazon (or one of the other above listed sites) to buy the product, perhaps you might consider using my links to buy it. It would save you a step of having to look up the product, and if you do buy it, I will receive a small percentage of the order. I think it's a win-win for both of us, but I would in no way force any reader of my blog to do so.



Any money that I get from these links will always go towards future items for this blog (designs, upkeep, prizes for future giveaways, etc.). Truly, by shopping through the affiliate links, you are helping the blog out.



Note: The Amazon links I use on the blog's social media page to promote a book are also affiliate links.




In short, if you are already interested in buying a particular book, and you wish to buy it from Amazon (or Kobo or Bookshop.org), perhaps you could help out my blog and buy it from one of the links provided throughout this blog?



Thank you!


 

Until Next Time,




 Enjoy!
