Welcome to Simple Crafting Guide. We believe in transparency, so we want to explain how affiliate links work on this site and what that means for you as a reader.
What is an affiliate link?
An affiliate link is a special URL used to track referrals from Simple Crafting Guide to merchants and retailers. When you click an affiliate link and make a purchase, the site may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you.
Programs we participate in
Simple Crafting Guide participates in affiliate programs, including the Amazon Associates program. As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases. We may also work with other retailers and networks that offer affiliate partnerships. When you see links to products, those links may be affiliate links.
How commissions are earned
- Tracked clicks: Affiliate links track clicks and purchases using cookies or similar technologies.
- Qualifying purchases: We earn commissions only when a purchase meets the merchant’s criteria and is completed after clicking our affiliate link.
- No extra cost to you: The commission comes from the merchant and does not increase the price you pay.
Our recommendations and editorial independence
We review and recommend products based on usefulness, quality, and relevance to craft projects. Earning a commission does not influence our editorial decisions. Our team tests, researches, and evaluates items to give you honest, practical guidance.
What this means:
- We aim to recommend tools and materials that help you complete projects successfully.
- We will not promote products solely for higher commissions.
- When a product or service is sponsored, we will clearly disclose that sponsorship in the article.
Accuracy and updates
We strive to keep our content accurate and up to date. Product availability and prices change frequently; please check the merchant site for current information before purchasing. Affiliate relationships do not change our commitment to reliable, helpful craft guidance.
Additional notes
Some links on Simple Crafting Guide may redirect through affiliate networks. If you prefer not to use affiliate links, you can search for products directly on retailer sites.
