Disclosure

Affiliate Revenue

I receive a small amount of revenue from Amazon, Easy Lunchboxes and J-List purchases that are initiated from links on this site.

Sponsored Posts

I occasionally write sponsored posts for companies. While I’m compensated to write these posts and I’m usually given a topic for the post, please be assured that I always speak honestly and write about my own experiences. I won’t accept sponsored posts that require me to write about topics I wouldn’t naturally post about on my blog. I also clearly label all sponsored posts as such.

Giveaways

Hosting giveaways can take a fair amount of my time, but I like to do them because they’re a way of showing Wendolonia readers how much I appreciate that they visit my site. I really do love the community here! There are three basic scenarios when I do a giveaway:

1. I purchase the items with my own money, pay to mail them out to the winner myself, and receive no payment.
2. A manufacturer provides the giveaway items, one of us pays to ship it to the winner, and I receive a similar item as compensation (sometimes not though).
3. A manufacturer provides the giveaway items, the manufacturer ships it to the winner, I am paid for hosting the giveaway with money and/or the product.

Once again, I will always disclose whether I received a product and/or money when I host giveaways.

Reviews

I do not accept payment for product reviews. I will occasionally accept products from manufacturers so I can try them out, but I always write my honest opinions when I do this. (Once I wrote a review that used the word “yucky” as the primary word to describe the product. True story!) Sometimes when I post a review, I am paid to host a giveaway of the product as well. Please be assured that when this happens, I still write honestly about the product (Seriously, you should check out the “yucky” post) and I always disclose that I have received compensation.

But Usually…

But usually, I’m not paid to write or post anything on Wendolonia. Making some money from my blog is a nice bonus and it helps pay my family’s bills, but the truth is I would still have a blog even if I didn’t make a dime from it. I like writing, I like taking pictures and I like sharing my adventures with you, my readers!
