Affiliate disclosure might seem like small print, but it’s actually really important for anyone running a website with recommendations or product links. If you find links to products, eBooks, courses, or websites on silver leisure ventures.org, you should know that some of those links are affiliate links and I may earn a small commission if you decide to make a purchase. Being open and transparent about this helps you understand how my site stays up and running.

In line with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines, I want to make it clear: when you click on affiliate links or buy through them, I may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. The goal is always to provide honest opinions and useful info, not just earn a commission. Your trust means a lot to me, so I stick to sharing my real experiences and only recommend things I actually believe in.

How Do Affiliate Links Work?

When you click an affiliate link on silver leisure ventures.org, you go straight to the third-party website selling the product or service. If you buy something, the company gives me a small commission as a thank you for the referral. This might mean Amazon, online retailers, or brands that have affiliate programs; the process doesn’t change. You don’t pay anything extra for using or choosing to buy through these links.

Prices are the same for you, whether you use an affiliate link or not. There are no hidden fees. You won’t pay more just because I get a commission.

Types of Affiliate Programs Used Here

There are several different types of affiliate partnerships I put to work on this site:

Amazon affiliate links. silver leisure ventures.org takes part in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program. That means any time you click on my Amazon links and buy something, whether it’s the recommended product or something else during your visit, I may earn a small percentage of the sale. Amazon affiliate links are never “pay per click,” so if you don’t buy anything, there’s no commission for me.

If you spot a link to Amazon.com or see links with special tags or reference codes, those are most likely Amazon affiliate links.

Product and service affiliate links. Other affiliate links work much the same way. If you click a link for a software tool, eBook bundle, course, or any digital product and make a purchase, I may get compensated, usually as a percentage of the sale. You don’t pay extra. Unless marked otherwise, these affiliate links work only on purchases, not on clicks. Sometimes you may come across links for special offers or limited-time products; if those are affiliate links, it means I could get a commission if you purchase.

Sponsored Content & Honest Recommendations

Sponsorships are handled a bit differently than affiliate partnerships. If a post is sponsored, which means a company paid for a feature, I’ll make sure to say so right at the very beginning of the article. I only accept sponsorships that make sense for my readers, and my honest thoughts come first, no matter what company is involved.

Transparency matters because it helps you decide what’s truly worth your money and attention. Thanks for your support! Using affiliate links and sharing recommendations helps keep the site running and allows me to keep sharing practical info and tips. If you ever have a question about how a link works or what an affiliate partnership means, feel free to ask. I’m always happy to explain more and keep everything clear and straightforward for you.
