Advertising Disclosure

Some posts on A Woman's Confidence contain affiliate links, and some feature products I've been sent for free or content I've been paid to create. Whenever a post includes any of these, I'll say so clearly at the start of the post so you always know where a brand relationship is involved.

What is affiliate marketing?

Affiliate marketing is a way for people to earn commission by promoting a company's products or services. It's one of the most common ways for bloggers to earn money from their work.

How does it work on this site?

If a post contains an affiliate link and you click it and buy the product or service I'm talking about, I may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. It helps me cover the time and work that goes into this blog.

Gifted and sponsored posts

• Gifted: a brand has sent me the product for free, but has no say in what I write about it.
• Sponsored: a brand has paid me, or had some say in the content, even if they also sent the product.

Posts that are gifted or sponsored are labelled as such at the top. Affiliate and sponsored links are also marked for search engines, as Google requires.

But is it trustworthy?

When someone works with a brand, it's fair to ask whether their review is genuine or whether they're just trying to make a sale.

I love blogging and testing new products whether I'm paid or not; any income is a bonus. The main driver for this blog is my passion, not money.

So I'll always be honest in my reviews. Being paid, gifted a product or earning commission never buys a positive review. If I don't like something, I either won't include an affiliate link, even when I could, or I'll say clearly that it isn't for me.

No one likes every product, and pretending otherwise just to make money would mean you couldn't trust or value my opinions.
