We believe in total transparency. Here’s exactly how we earn money — and how it affects (or doesn’t affect) you.

Quick Summary
In plain language: Some links on this website are affiliate links. If you click one and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission — at absolutely no extra cost to you. We only recommend products and brands we genuinely believe in. Your trust means everything to us.
What Is Affiliate Marketing?
Affiliate marketing is a legitimate practice where a website owner earns a commission for recommending products or services from another brand. When a reader clicks a special tracking link — called an affiliate link — and completes a purchase, the website earns a small percentage of that sale.
This lets content creators like us earn revenue without charging you anything. You pay the exact same price whether you click our link or go directly to the brand’s website.
Our Participation in Affiliate Programmes
Black Women Community participates in affiliate marketing programmes which may include:
- Amazon Associates Programme — As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases
- ShareASale, CJ Affiliate, Impact, and similar networks
- Individual brand affiliate programmes that align with our values and community
FTC Compliance
In accordance with U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines (16 CFR Part 255), we disclose any relationship that may influence our recommendations. This page serves as that required disclosure and applies to all content on our site.
How It Works — Step by Step
- You click a link on our website leading to a brand’s product or service page
- A small cookie is placed in your browser, identifying you as a visitor from our site
- If you make a purchase during that session, we receive a commission from the brand
- You pay the exact same price as anyone else — the commission comes from the brand’s marketing budget, not from you
Our Promise to You
Our editorial integrity and your trust are far more important than any commission. We commit to:
- Only recommending products, services, and brands we genuinely believe will benefit our readers
- Never recommending a product solely because it offers a commission
- Always being honest in our opinions and reviews — whether or not we have an affiliate relationship
- Never allowing affiliate partnerships to influence our inspirational quotes, stories, or community content
- Always clearly labelling sponsored or gifted content
Display Advertising
In addition to affiliate links, Black Women Community displays advertisements through the Mediavine ad network. These ads are served automatically based on your browsing history, interests, and cookies. We earn revenue from ad impressions and clicks.
We do not control which specific ads are displayed, but we have enabled brand safety filters. If you ever see an ad you find offensive or inappropriate, please contact us immediately.
You can opt out of personalised advertising at aboutads.info/choices.
Sponsored Content
From time to time, brands may pay us to create content featuring their products. Any such content will always be clearly labelled as “Sponsored” or “In Partnership With” at the top of the post. We maintain full editorial control and only work with brands that genuinely serve our community.
