Disclosure

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has guidelines regarding endorsements and testimonials to protect you from misleading advertising that’s been paid for by a company. Because Emma DeSouza is an income source and does occasionally include endorsements and testimonials, it’s important to disclose the following:

  • I only endorse and promote products I trust, use, and love.

  • This blog is a source of income and may be used to promote products, services, or other businesses.

  • I only share and promote products/services/businesses that I have actually used and that believe could be beneficial to you.

  • Affiliate links are used in some posts where I make a small percentage of each sale. This is one way I make money from blogging. It does not result in additional charges or cost you anything extra.

  • Mentions of related products/services/businesses within the content of my blog may or may not be noted as an affiliate in every reference.

  • Products provided to me for review are given free of charge. However, this doesn’t guarantee a positive review – I always review honestly and openly. I do not endorse or post about products I don’t believe in.

  • My goal is to share my expertise and provide helpful content while generating a small profit to make a living for myself.

I earn income via my Blog in the following ways:

1. Affiliate links
Most of my posts are DIY project tutorials. When applicable I show products I recommend by linking to those items on affiliate sites. These links are a helpful way to show which products I am using in my projects so you know what to look for no matter where you shop.  I make a small percentage of a sale that the retailer pays, never a reader.

  • Notion:

We are an affiliate with Notion so when speaking of Notion products my affiliate link will be included.  I love sharing the systems and tools I utilize inside of Notion and educating others on how to empower themselves to do the same. And Notion's affiliate program allows me to make a small income to be able to continue to share the things I’m most passionate about.

  • Amazon.ca:

Emma DeSouza is a participant in the Amazon Associates Program, which is an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising (at no additional cost to you) and linking to Amazon.ca. 

2. Sponsored Posts

I am sometimes compensated to provide my opinions on products, services, websites and various other topics.  Even though I sometimes receive compensation for posts or advertisements, I always give my honest opinions, experiences, and findings on those topics or products. The views and opinions shared on this blog are strictly my own.  Any product claim, statistic, quote or other representation about a product or service should be verified with the manufacturer, provider or party in question.

Note On Comments

The comments section on my blog is a place to support, empower and encourage each other. I love reading your comments and discussing your thoughts. I ask that we remain kind and respectful to each other. And I do reserve the right to remove comments that don’t fit into this space.
