Affiliate Disclosure

Last Updated: September 13, 2026

Our Commitment to Transparency

My View From the Porch believes in being open and transparent with our readers.

Some of the links on myviewfromtheporch.com may be affiliate links. This means that if you click one of these links and make a purchase or complete another qualifying action, My View From the Porch may earn a commission or other compensation at no additional cost to you.

Affiliate relationships help support the operation of this website and allow us to continue creating and sharing content.

We want you to understand when a financial or other material relationship may exist so that you can make your own informed decisions about the products and services discussed on the Site.

What Is an Affiliate Link?

An affiliate link is a special link that allows a retailer, merchant, or affiliate network to recognize that a visitor was referred from My View From the Porch. If you follow an affiliate link and make a qualifying purchase or take another qualifying action, we may receive compensation from the retailer, merchant, affiliate network, or other third party.

The price you pay is generally not increased because you used our affiliate link. Whether you use an affiliate link is entirely your choice.

Amazon Associates

My View From the Porch intends to participate in the Amazon Associates program.

Once My View From the Porch has been accepted into Amazon Associates and begins using Amazon affiliate links, please know that As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.

Amazon currently requires Associates to clearly and prominently display that statement, or a previously permitted substantially similar statement, on their site. Purchases made through Amazon affiliate links may generate a commission for My View From the Porch without increasing the price you pay.

Amazon and its sellers are responsible for their own products, pricing, fulfillment, warranties, customer service, returns, privacy practices, and other terms. My View From the Porch is not sponsored, endorsed, or approved by Amazon merely because we participate in its affiliate program.

Other Affiliate Programs

My View From the Porch may also participate in other affiliate programs or referral arrangements with:

affiliate networks;
online retailers;
individual brands;
service providers;
travel, lifestyle, home, garden, food, wellness, or other merchants; and
other companies whose products or services may be relevant to our readers.

These relationships may change over time. Participation in an affiliate program does not mean that the merchant sponsors, owns, controls, or endorses My View From the Porch.

Our Recommendations and Editorial Independence

Compensation does not guarantee a positive review, recommendation, mention, or placement on the Site. Our goal is to share products, services, ideas, and resources that we believe may be interesting or useful to our readers. When we express an opinion about a product or service, that opinion is intended to reflect our genuine perspective at the time the content is published. We may recommend products that generate affiliate commissions, products that do not generate commissions, and products that we purchased ourselves.

We do not guarantee that every product or service we discuss will be appropriate for every reader. Your needs, preferences, circumstances, and experiences may differ from ours.

Free or Gifted Products

We may occasionally receive products, samples, services, experiences, discounts, travel, event access, or other benefits at no cost or at a reduced cost. Receiving something of value can constitute a material relationship even when we are not directly paid to publish content. When appropriate, we will disclose these relationships in connection with the relevant content. The FTC requires disclosure of material connections that could affect how readers evaluate an endorsement.

Affiliate Disclosures Within Articles

Articles containing affiliate recommendations may include a short disclosure such as:

Affiliate Disclosure: This post may contain affiliate links. If you make a purchase through one of these links, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you.

This disclosure will generally appear near the beginning of an article or otherwise close enough to the affiliate content to be readily noticeable.

Individual links or buttons may also be identified where appropriate. A link labeled merely “affiliate link” is not necessarily sufficient by itself because readers may not understand that the publisher receives compensation. The FTC specifically recommends clear language explaining the financial relationship.

Social Media

Affiliate links, sponsored recommendations, gifted products, or other material relationships may also appear in content we publish on social media platforms. When applicable, we will use disclosures appropriate to the platform and circumstances, such as:

Ad
Sponsored
Paid link
Paid partnership
or other clear disclosure language.

Amazon also requires affiliate disclosures to be clear and conspicuous when Amazon affiliate links are shared.

Prices and Product Availability

Prices, product descriptions, availability, promotions, discounts, specifications, and other information provided by retailers can change at any time. Although we may discuss a price or promotion that was available when an article was written or updated, we cannot guarantee that the same price, discount, or availability will apply when you visit the retailer. Always confirm current information directly with the retailer before making a purchase.

Third-Party Websites

Affiliate links generally take you to websites operated by third parties. Once you leave My View From the Porch, your interactions are governed by the third party’s own:

privacy policy;
terms and conditions;
cookie practices;
shipping and return policies;
warranties;
customer-service practices; and
other applicable policies.

My View From the Porch does not control these third-party websites and is not responsible for their content, products, services, availability, security, or business practices.

Cookies and Affiliate Tracking

Affiliate programs may use cookies, tracking identifiers, or similar technologies to determine whether a visitor came from My View From the Porch and whether a qualifying transaction occurred. These technologies may be operated by retailers, affiliate networks, or other third parties.

For more information about cookies and tracking technologies used in connection with the Site, please review our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy.

No Guarantee of Results or Satisfaction

A recommendation or affiliate link does not constitute a guarantee that you will have the same experience with a product or service. We do not guarantee:

product quality;
fitness for a particular purpose;
merchant performance;
shipping or delivery;
warranties;
customer service;
availability;
results; or
satisfaction.

You are responsible for evaluating whether a product or service is appropriate for you before making a purchase.

Changes to Our Affiliate Relationships

Our affiliate relationships may change over time. We may begin or end relationships with particular retailers, affiliate networks, brands, or service providers without updating every previously published article. An older article may therefore contain links associated with an affiliate relationship that has changed since publication.

We may update this Affiliate Disclosure periodically to reflect material changes in our practices.
