What is an Affiliate Link?

Many (but not all) of the links on LifeWithAshleyT.com are affiliate links. This means that a special tracking code is used and that I may make a small commission on the sale of an item if you purchase through one of these links. The price of the item is the same for you whether it is an affiliate link or not, and using affiliate links helps me to maintain this website and support my family.

In some cases, I may also use a link and provide a discount code for an item. In these cases, I may still earn an affiliate commission and the price may actually be LESS for you by using this link or tracking code.

For simplicity, assume that any link on LifeWithAshleyT.com is an affiliate link and that I may/will make a commission if you purchase through these links (though the price remains the same for you).

When Do I Use Affiliate Links?

If I post an affiliate link to a product, it is something that I personally use, support and would recommend without an affiliate link. Unless noted otherwise, any product I link to is one I have purchased myself and use for myself or my family.

My first priority is always providing resources to help you create positive changes and experiences in your life, and I will only ever link to products or resources (affiliate or otherwise) that fit within this purpose.

Nature of Affiliate Relationships

Please note that while I personally purchase, review and use the products I link to, these products are purchased from third party companies and I do not control these companies or have a financial interest other than an affiliate relationship unless otherwise disclosed.
