SoulfulStillness believes in complete transparency. This page explains how affiliate links work on this blog, which programs we participate in, and our promise to you that our recommendations are always genuine.
What is an affiliate link?
An affiliate link is a special tracked URL that lets a company know a visitor came from our website. When you click an affiliate link on SoulfulStillness and make a purchase, we earn a small commission — at absolutely no extra cost to you. The price you pay is exactly the same whether you use our link or go directly to the website.
These commissions help us keep SoulfulStillness running, allow us to invest time in creating free content, and support the work of writing helpful, honest guides for our readers.
FTC & legal compliance
In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines and applicable Indian advertising standards, we are required to clearly disclose when content contains affiliate links. We take this responsibility seriously and aim to make our disclosures visible and easy to understand.
You will see a note at the bottom of any blog post that contains affiliate links, stating: "This post contains affiliate links. If you purchase through them, I may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you."

We may add new affiliate partnerships over time. This page will always be updated to reflect our current partners.
Our editorial independence
Affiliate relationships never influence what we recommend or write about. We only recommend products and services that we have personally used or thoroughly researched and genuinely believe will benefit our readers.
We will never recommend a product simply because it pays a higher commission. We will never write a positive review of something we don't believe in. If we have a negative experience with a product, we will say so honestly.
Our promise to you
- We only recommend products we would use ourselves or have personally researched
- Affiliate links never change the price you pay — you pay exactly the same
- Our honest opinion is never for sale — commissions do not influence our recommendations
- We will always disclose when a post contains affiliate links, clearly and visibly
- If we stop believing in a product, we remove the affiliate link regardless of the commission
Sponsored content
Occasionally we may publish sponsored content — posts written in partnership with a brand. Any sponsored content will be clearly labelled as "Sponsored" or "In partnership with [Brand]" at the top of the post. Sponsored content does not mean our opinions are paid for — we only partner with brands whose values align with SoulfulStillness.
Questions?
If you have any questions about our affiliate relationships or how we choose our recommendations, we'd love to hear from you. Transparency and trust are at the heart of everything we do here.
