Affiliate
Disclosure
We believe in complete transparency about how this site earns income. Here is everything you need to know — written honestly, clearly and without the legal jargon.
"Affiliate income is how we keep this space running — but your trust is what makes it worth running. We will never compromise one for the other."
Transparency first — always
At Style & Soul 35+, trust is not a marketing strategy. It is the foundation everything here is built on. This page exists because you deserve to know exactly how this site earns money — and why that should give you more confidence in our recommendations, not less.
Some links on this site are affiliate links. When you click one and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission from the retailer — at absolutely no additional cost to you. This is how we fund the time, research and genuine care that goes into every piece of content we create for this community.
The honest version: Affiliate marketing is how Style & Soul 35+ sustains itself as a business. Without it, creating high-quality content consistently would not be possible. Every commission we earn comes from a genuine recommendation — never from a paid placement disguised as one.
Amazon Associates
Style & Soul 35+ is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program — an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com.
"As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases."
This means that when you click an Amazon link on this site and make a purchase within the session, we receive a small percentage of the sale. The price you pay is identical whether you use our link or search Amazon directly.
Affiliate programs we participate in
In the interest of full transparency, here are all the affiliate programs Style & Soul 35+ currently participates in:
The world's largest affiliate program. We link to Amazon products we personally use and recommend across beauty, style and lifestyle categories.
A large affiliate network connecting us to fashion, beauty and lifestyle brands whose products we genuinely recommend to our community.
A premium affiliate network featuring quality brands relevant to women 35+ across fashion, beauty and lifestyle.
We personally use Bluehost to host this website and recommend it to women building their own online presence or business.
We may add additional affiliate programs over time as Style & Soul 35+ grows. This page will always be updated to reflect our current partnerships. If you're unsure whether a specific link is an affiliate link, please feel free to ask us directly.
How affiliate links work
We know not everyone is familiar with how affiliate marketing works. Here is a simple, honest explanation:
The process, step by step
We share a product we genuinely use and love with our community
You click the link which takes you directly to the retailer's site
You purchase at the exact same price as going directly to the site
The retailer pays us a small commission — at zero cost to you
The commission comes from the retailer's marketing budget — not from your pocket. In some cases, our affiliate relationships may even give you access to better pricing or exclusive deals.
Our promise to you
Affiliate relationships are common across the content industry. What is not common is the level of integrity we bring to ours. These are the commitments we make to every woman in this community — and that we hold ourselves to without exception:
Every product we link to is something we have personally used, tested or genuinely researched. No exceptions.
We do not accept payment to feature products. If a product is mentioned here, it earned its place on merit alone.
We have declined affiliate partnerships for products we don't believe in. We have recommended products we earn nothing from. Our editorial independence is absolute.
Affiliate links are always used transparently. You will always know when a link may earn us a commission.
We recommend what is genuinely best for the women in our community — not what pays us the highest commission.
You are always free to research independently, purchase directly, or choose not to use our links. We support whatever feels right for you.
Your choice — always
Using our affiliate links is entirely your choice and we want to make sure you feel completely empowered in that decision. You are always free to:
- Research any product we recommend independently before purchasing
- Purchase directly from the retailer without using our affiliate link
- Search for better deals or alternatives on your own
- Ask us why we recommend something before making a decision
- Choose not to support this site through affiliate purchases at all
We would never pressure you into a purchase. Every recommendation we make is offered in the spirit of genuine helpfulness — take what serves you and leave what doesn't.
A note on cookies: When you click an affiliate link, a small cookie may be placed in your browser to track whether a purchase is made — typically for 24 hours to 30 days depending on the program. This is standard practice and you can clear cookies at any time through your browser settings.
Ask us anything
If you have questions about any specific recommendation, whether a link is an affiliate link, or how we choose our partners — please reach out. We welcome the conversation.
