Affiliate Disclosure
Transparency matters. Here’s exactly how affiliate links work on TinyNestly — and why we only recommend what we believe in.
At TinyNestly, honesty is non-negotiable. This Affiliate Disclosure explains our participation in affiliate programs, how we choose products, and what it means for you as a reader. We follow the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Endorsement Guides and disclose all material relationships clearly.
1. What Affiliate Marketing Means
Affiliate marketing is a way for websites like ours to earn a small commission when a reader clicks a product link and makes a purchase. The commission comes from the retailer — not from you. You pay the exact same price whether you use our link or go directly to the store.
The simple version: If you buy something through a link on TinyNestly, we may earn a few cents or dollars. It costs you nothing extra, and it helps us keep publishing free printables, guides, and ideas for families like yours.
2. Programs We Participate In
TinyNestly is a participant in the following affiliate programs, among others:
- Amazon Associates Program — an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com.
- ShareASale, Impact, CJ Affiliate (Commission Junction), Rakuten Advertising, and Awin — networks that connect us with kid- and home-related brands.
- Direct brand partnerships with select retailers whose products align with our values (safety, quality, thoughtful design).
Required Amazon Disclosure
“As an Amazon Associate, TinyNestly earns from qualifying purchases.” This disclosure appears on every page of our site and on individual posts that contain Amazon product links.
3. How We Choose Products to Recommend
We do not recommend a product simply because it pays the highest commission. Every product featured on TinyNestly is evaluated against three questions:
- Is it safe and age-appropriate? — especially for baby, nursery, and kids’ room categories.
- Would we buy it for our own home or family? — the honest gut-check.
- Does it solve the problem the reader came here for? — no filler, no fluff.
If a product does not meet these standards, it does not get a link — regardless of commission rate.
4. No Extra Cost to You, Ever
Using our affiliate links is 100% free for you. The retailer pays us a small percentage of the sale as a thank-you for the referral. Your price stays the same. Your data stays safe. And you’re never obligated to buy anything through our links — we simply appreciate it when you do, because it directly supports the free content on this site.
5. Editorial Independence
Our editorial team makes recommendations independently of our affiliate relationships. That means:
- No brand pays us to write a positive review.
- Rankings, ratings, and “best of” lists reflect genuine opinion — not commission tiers.
- We are willing to include products we love even when they do not have an affiliate program.
- We are willing to leave out products from partner brands if they do not meet our standards.
6. Sponsored Content & Gifted Products
Occasionally, TinyNestly may publish sponsored posts or feature products that were gifted to us by a brand. When this happens, we clearly label the content with one of the following at the top of the post:
- “Sponsored by [Brand]” — the brand paid for the placement.
- “This post contains gifted products” — the brand sent us the item free of charge for review consideration.
- “Contains affiliate links” — the post includes trackable purchase links.
Sponsored or gifted status never guarantees a positive review, and our editorial standards apply equally to sponsored and non-sponsored content.
7. Third-Party Advertising
TinyNestly may display advertising served by third-party networks (such as Google AdSense, Mediavine, or Raptive). These ads are managed by external networks and are not endorsements by TinyNestly. Please review the privacy practices of the advertisers you interact with by visiting their websites.
8. Prices & Availability
Product prices, availability, and features mentioned on TinyNestly can change without notice. We do our best to keep information current, but the retailer’s website is always the final source of truth. Please confirm the price and specs on the retailer’s page before purchasing.
9. Your Trust Comes First
Affiliate income keeps TinyNestly running, but your trust is what makes TinyNestly worth running. If we ever fall short of the standards on this page, we want to hear about it — and we will fix it.
