Affiliate Disclosure
Last updated: March 2026 | andyparas.com
At andyparas.com, we believe in being completely transparent with our readers. This page explains how we may earn money through affiliate partnerships — and how that affects (or doesn't affect) the content we publish.
FTC Disclosure: This blog contains affiliate links. If you click on a link and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. This helps support the blog and allows us to continue creating free content.
1. What Is Affiliate Marketing?
Affiliate marketing is a way for bloggers and content creators to earn a small commission by recommending products or services. When you click on an affiliate link and make a purchase, the retailer pays us a small percentage of the sale — at absolutely no additional cost to you.
Think of it like a referral fee. The price you pay is exactly the same whether you use our link or go directly to the website.
2. Amazon Associates Program
Andy Paras Blog 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.
Our Amazon affiliate tag is: andy9910-20
When you see links to Amazon products on this blog, they may include our affiliate tag. If you purchase through these links, we earn a small commission from Amazon.
3. How to Identify Affiliate Links
Affiliate links on this blog may appear as:
- Text links such as "Check Price on Amazon →" or "See Best Price on Amazon →"
- Product recommendation boxes with a "Check Price on Amazon" button
- Comparison tables with linked product names
- Banner images linking to product pages
Amazon links will typically contain amazon.com and our tag andy9910-20 in the URL.
4. Our Editorial Promise
We want you to trust us — and that means being honest about how affiliate relationships work here:
We only recommend products we genuinely believe in. If we wouldn't use it ourselves or recommend it to a friend, we won't recommend it to you.
Affiliate relationships never influence our opinions. We research every product independently and share our honest findings regardless of commission rates.
We are not paid to write positive reviews. Our articles are based on research, studies, and real user feedback — not on who pays us the most.
You are never obligated to use our links. You can always go directly to Amazon or any retailer. We appreciate it when you do use our links as it helps support the blog at no cost to you.
5. No Extra Cost to You
Using our affiliate links does NOT increase the price you pay. The commission we earn comes from the retailer's side — not from your pocket. You pay the exact same price as everyone else.
6. Why We Use Affiliate Links
Running a health blog takes time and resources — researching articles, reviewing studies, writing content, and maintaining the website. Affiliate commissions help us:
- Keep all content free for our readers
- Spend more time researching and writing quality articles
- Maintain and improve the website
- Continue providing honest, independent health information
When you use our affiliate links, you are directly supporting this blog — and we genuinely appreciate it. 🙏
7. FTC Compliance
This disclosure is made in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines concerning the use of endorsements and testimonials in advertising. The FTC requires bloggers and content creators to clearly disclose any financial relationships with brands or products they recommend.
We take this responsibility seriously and are committed to full transparency with our readers at all times.
8. Questions?
If you have any questions about our affiliate relationships or how we select products to recommend, we'd love to hear from you:
