Affiliate Disclosure

Last updated: April 9, 2026

In short: Some links on this site and my social media earn me a small commission when you shop through them. You never pay more. I only recommend products I genuinely use and love. This income supports my family and allows me to keep creating content for you.

FTC Compliance

In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines concerning the use of endorsements and testimonials in advertising (16 CFR Part 255), this disclosure is provided to ensure full transparency about material connections between thevikismith.com and the products, brands, or services mentioned on this website and associated social media accounts.

What Are Affiliate Links?

Affiliate links are special tracking links. When you click one and make a purchase, I earn a small commission from the retailer. The price you pay is the same whether you use my link or not. These commissions help support my content creation and my family.

My Affiliate Relationships

I participate in the following affiliate programs:

Sponsored Content

From time to time, I may partner with brands for sponsored posts on my social media accounts (Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook). Sponsored content is always clearly disclosed with hashtags such as #ad, #sponsored, or #partner, or with a verbal/written disclosure in the content itself.

Gifted Products

I occasionally receive products from brands at no cost for review purposes. When I feature a gifted product, I will disclose it. Receiving a free product does not guarantee a positive review. My opinions are always honest and my own.

My Promise to You

How This Supports My Family

I am a stay-at-home mom and a combat veteran's wife. Affiliate income and brand partnerships are how I support my family while creating content. When you shop through my links, you're directly supporting a military family at no extra cost to you. I am genuinely grateful for every click and every purchase.

Product Claims

Any product claims, statistics, or quotes made on this website or my social media should be verified with the manufacturer or provider directly. Individual results may vary. I do not make any health, medical, or income claims.

Endorsement Disclaimer

The views and opinions expressed on thevikismith.com and my social media accounts are purely 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.

This disclosure page may be updated periodically as new affiliate relationships are established. Please check back regularly for the most current version.
