Earnings Disclosure for CraftingAFamilyDinner.com and Craftingafamily.com

Hey there, awesome readers! At Craftingafamily.com and CraftingAFamilyDinner.com my goal is to share quick, healthy, and family-friendly recipes that make your kitchen time a breeze. To keep this blog running and bring you fresh content, I earn income through a few different ways. I want to be upfront about how this works, so you know exactly what’s going on when you click a link or read a post. Transparency is key, and I’m grateful for your trust and support!

How I Make Money

Here’s a breakdown of the ways I monetize Craftingafamily.com and CraftingAFamilyDinner.com:

  1. Affiliate Links
    I participate in affiliate programs, like the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program and others, which means I may earn a small commission if you purchase products or services through links on my blog. For example, when I recommend tools like the Ninja Creami or ingredients for a recipe, those links might earn me a percentage of the sale—at no extra cost to you. I only share products I genuinely love and believe will make your cooking easier and more fun.
  2. Sponsored Content
    From time to time, I partner with brands to create sponsored posts or recipes. These collaborations are always clearly labeled as sponsored, and I only work with companies whose products align with my values and your needs as busy parents. If I’m paid to write about a product or service, I’ll let you know upfront.
  3. Advertisements
    You might see ads on my blog, served through ad networks like Google AdSense or similar platforms. These ads help cover the costs of running the site, and I earn a small amount when they’re displayed or clicked. I strive to keep ads non-intrusive so they don’t distract from your experience.
  4. Products and Services
    I may offer my own products, like meal plans or recipe guides, delivered via email or as downloadable PDFs. When you purchase these, the income supports the blog and helps me create more free content for you. I’ll always be clear about what you’re buying and how it works.

What This Means for You

  • No Extra Cost: Clicking my affiliate links or buying through them doesn’t increase the price you pay. In fact, you might even get discounts I’ve shared!
  • Honest Recommendations: I only promote products or services I’ve used, tested, or truly believe in. My reviews and recommendations are based on my real experiences, even if I earn a commission or receive a product for free.
  • Your Trust Matters: My top priority is providing valuable, reliable content for you and your family. Any income I earn helps me keep the blog free and packed with recipes you’ll love.

Why I Disclose This

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) requires bloggers to disclose any financial relationships or “material connections” with products or brands we promote. This includes affiliate links, sponsored posts, or free products. I’m happy to comply because I believe in being open with you, my readers. Plus, it’s the right thing to do! If you have questions about how this works, feel free to reach out.
