In 2015, the Federal Trade Commission released their new rules for Disclosure Compliance.

These rules are set in place to ensure that readers or viewers of web media (blogs, YouTube videos, etc.) know if the blogger/presenter is sponsored, endorsed, or partnered with a different company.

In blog terms, the readers need to know if the blogger is making money by sharing a link or product.

In compliance with the FTC guidelines, please note that the following information about links on this site:

Understanding Affiliate Links

At Ranefox Photography (ranefoxphotography.com), transparency is important to us. To comply with the Federal Trade Commission’s (FTC) rules for disclosure compliance, we want to be upfront about our affiliate partnerships.

Affiliate links are links to external websites or products, and if you click on them and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission. This comes at no additional cost to you and helps us maintain and grow this website.

How Affiliate Links Work

When you click an affiliate link on our site and purchase a product or service, you’re completing the transaction directly with the seller (not with ranefoxphotography.com). As an affiliate, we earn a small commission for facilitating the referral.

Please Note:

• The price you pay is the same, whether you use our affiliate links or go directly to the vendor.
• Affiliate links help support this website, allowing us to continue offering free resources and content.

Types of Affiliate Links on This Site

We participate in affiliate programs from a variety of vendors. Here’s how we may use affiliate links:

1. Product or Service Recommendations

• We share links to products or services that we genuinely believe will benefit our audience.
• Examples include photography tools, e-books, courses, or software that align with the interests of our visitors.

2. Bundles and Packages

• Occasionally, we may promote e-course bundles or special offers through affiliate partnerships. These are curated to provide value to our readers.

Important: These links are not “pay-per-click” unless explicitly stated. Compensation is only earned when a purchase is completed after using the link.

What About Sponsored Content?

At this time, we do not publish sponsored posts. Our goal is to provide real, unbiased recommendations based on experience and research.

If we ever share sponsored content, it will be clearly disclosed at the beginning of the post to maintain transparency.

Why Affiliate Links?

Affiliate marketing allows us to sustain the work we do without charging our readers directly. It’s a way to offer free content and resources while earning a small income from referrals.
