Amazon Affiliate Program

Subject: Discovering Great Products and Supporting Our Site with Amazon Affiliates

Hey hey! 

We wanted to share some information about how you can support our website while also discovering great produc on Amazon. We participate in the Amazon Associates program, also known as the Amazon affiliate program. This means that when you click on certain product links on our site and make a purchase on Amazon, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you.

What is the Amazon Affiliate Program?

The Amazon Affiliate program is a way for websites like ours to earn advertising fees by linking to Amazon products, specifically books. When you click on an affiliate link on our site, you're taken directly to the corresponding book page on Amazon. If you then add that book to your cart and complete your purchase (or even add other items to your cart and purchase them within a certain timeframe), Amazon gives us a small percentage of the sale as a referral fee.

How does this benefit you?

  • Convenience: You can easily find books we recommend and purchase them directly from Amazon, a trusted and reliable online retailer.
  • No extra cost: The price you pay for the book is exactly the same whether you click through our affiliate link or go directly to Amazon. The commission is paid by Amazon, not by you.
  • Supporting our site: By using our affiliate links, you're helping us to continue creating valuable content and maintaining our website, while supporting the author. It's a simple way to show your support without spending any extra money.

How to purchase items through our affiliate links:

  1. Find a book link: Look for link under the book’s description, reviews, or other content. These links are typically highlighted or clearly marked.
  2. Click the link: Click on the “Buy on Amazon” link. This will take you directly to the books page on Amazon.
  3. Add to cart and purchase: Add the book to your Amazon shopping cart and proceed with the checkout process as you normally would.
  4. Complete your purchase: Once you complete your purchase, we may receive a small commission.

Important things to note:

  • Transparency: We are committed to transparency. We will always try to make it clear when a link is an affiliate link. As of now, this will only be for books that we provide. While we would love for you to buy from us directly, we understand the right of the consumer to shop elsewhere for better prices, even when that is not us.
  • Our recommendations: We only recommend books that we believe are valuable to our audience. Our primary goal is to provide books by those that would y otherwise be seen or read.
  • Amazon's terms: All purchases are subject to Amazon's terms and conditions.

We appreciate your support and hope this explanation helps you understand how our Amazon affiliate program works. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us.

Sincerely,

The Nerdy Black Girl & Eden & Ink Independent Bookstore LLC
