You are reading this page because the FTC says I must have it on my site. Personally, I believe my readers are smart enough to know that links with gibberish in them are affiliate links, which I use to get a little cash so I can pay for domain names and hosting of my sites. But, since the FTC says I need to have disclosure and privacy policies, here they are!
This is a personal blog written and edited by me. For questions about this blog, please contact kelly@thehomewriter.com.
Disclosure Policy
As I mentioned, you may see links among the pages of this blog with lots of gibberish in them– those are affiliate links. If you click on them and then buy from the site it takes you to, I get a commission. It’s not a lot– I’m not getting rich from it– but every little bit helps pay the bills. Most of the links are to companies hand-picked by me, companies that I think would be of interest to you (because they are of interest to me). Some of the links are to books and other items on Amazon (because I am a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for me to earn fees by linking to Amazon.com and affiliated sites) — again, hand-picked by me because I think they will interest you. A few links may be “ads” that I hope will be appropriate, but please forgive me if I’ve not been specific enough with Google to get the right ads. I’m still working on it!
There may also be times when I tell you about a product (also known as a “sponsored post”). Chances are good that I received the product for free in exchange for a review and a little promotion. I know many other bloggers will not write a review unless it’s a good review, but I’m a bit different. If a company (or person) sends me something to review, I will review it– honestly. If I don’t feel it’s up to par, I will tell you in my review. I realize that others may not share my opinion of the product, so I’ll try to be fair and find something good about it. But, I’ll share the stuff I don’t care for as well. I always try to be fair as well as honest.
And, I may accept cash advertising, paid insertions, or other forms of compensation. Regardless of whether I receive a free product or payment, my opinions will always be my own, written in all honesty. Any product claim, statistic, quote, or other representation about a product or service should be verified with the manufacturer, provider, or party in question. In other words, you don’t have to take my word for it– find out for yourself!
With that in mind, I hope you’ll find my reviews and links helpful. It is my goal to glorify God. To do that, I try to S.E.E. as Jesus would: by offering Support, Encouragement, and Edification to you in your life, your homeschooling journey, and your walk with God. If I can share a product that helps me achieve that goal, all the better!
And, finally, this blog doesn’t contain any content which might present a conflict of interest. If I’m biased about something, I’ll let you know. 😉
I hope you’ll let me know through comments or direct messages whether or not the posts help you!
Privacy Policy
While you are welcome to use this blog anonymously, if you’d like to leave a comment you must include your name and email. This is done so I can weed out spammers. You will not be added to my mailings unless you sign up for them, and you may unsubscribe at any time by following the instructions at the bottom of each email.
The affiliate links use cookies. If you have your cookies turned off, I will not override that choice– I also won’t get a commission if you buy from one of my affiliate links. I hope you will consider turning on your cookies while you’re here, as a way to help me earn a little cash. (I hate having to ask for donations!)
This privacy policy is only in effect for this site, thehomewriter.com. If you click a link to another page, you will need to check their disclosure and privacy policies.
I do not sell your information. For any reason. At all. Ever.
This is a family-friendly site, geared toward users who are at least 13 years of age or older. (But there should be no problems if younger children are on your lap while you use this site. That’s why I state it is “family-friendly.”)
By using this site, you consent to my disclosure and privacy policies.
