Affiliate Disclosure
Transparency is important to us. This Affiliate Disclosure explains how Shift Life Guide earns income through affiliate partnerships, and how that may affect the content you read on this site.
What is affiliate marketing?
Affiliate marketing is a way for websites to earn a commission by promoting products or services offered by other companies. When you click on an affiliate link on our site and make a purchase, we may receive a small commission — at no additional cost to you. The price you pay is the same whether or not you use our link.
Our affiliate relationships
Shift Life Guide participates in several affiliate programs, including but not limited to:
- Amazon Associates — As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases. Amazon and the Amazon logo are trademarks of Amazon.com, Inc. or its affiliates.
- ShareASale, Commission Junction, and similar networks — We may promote products from brands in these networks related to nursing, home organization, personal finance, and self-care.
- Direct brand partnerships — Occasionally we partner directly with brands whose products we use and trust.
Affiliate links may appear in blog posts, resource pages, product recommendations, and email newsletters. We will always do our best to clearly identify affiliate links where possible.
Our editorial standards
Our affiliate relationships do not influence our editorial content. We only recommend products and services that we:
- Have personally used or thoroughly researched
- Genuinely believe will benefit our readers
- Would recommend to a friend or fellow healthcare worker
We will never recommend a product solely because it pays a higher commission. If we don't believe in something, we won't promote it — period.
FTC compliance
In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's (FTC) guidelines on endorsements and testimonials (16 CFR Part 255), we disclose any material connection between Shift Life Guide and the products or services we recommend. This includes affiliate commissions, free products received for review, and sponsored content.
Sponsored posts and gifted products will be clearly labeled as such. Our opinions remain our own regardless of compensation.
Sponsored content
From time to time, Shift Life Guide may publish sponsored posts or partner content. Any sponsored content will be clearly labeled with a disclosure such as "Sponsored," "Paid Partnership," or "In collaboration with [Brand]" at the top of the post. Sponsored content reflects our honest opinion — we decline partnerships that don't align with our values or our readers' needs.
No additional cost to you
Using our affiliate links never increases the price you pay. In some cases, our links may even give you access to exclusive discounts. The commission we earn comes from the retailer's marketing budget, not from your pocket.
How commissions support this site
Running Shift Life Guide takes time, research, and resources. Affiliate commissions help us keep the site free, cover hosting and operating costs, and continue creating content that helps healthcare workers balance work, family, and self-care. We are grateful for your support.
