Chronicles of a Wayward Drifter
Last Updated: January 1st, 2026
Craig Johnson, an individual residing at 2036 Nevada City Hwy, #17, Grass Valley, CA 95945, United States (“I,” “me,” “my,” or “Owner”) operates the website www.waywarddrifter.com (the "Site"). We believe in transparency and honesty with our readers. This Affiliate Disclosure (also known as Advertiser Disclosure) explains our participation in affiliate marketing programs and how we may earn commissions from links on our Site.
This disclosure complies with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines, Amazon Associates requirements, and other applicable laws. We only recommend products or services we genuinely believe in and that align with our content.
What Are Affiliate Links?
Many links on Wayward Drifter are affiliate links. This means if you click on an affiliate link and make a qualifying purchase, we may earn a small commission from the retailer or affiliate network—at no extra cost to you.
These commissions help support the Site, allowing us to continue creating free content, reviews, and resources for our readers.
Key Disclosure: As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.
We participate in several affiliate programs, including but not limited to:
-
Amazon Services LLC Associates Program
-
Other affiliate networks and programs (e.g., travel booking sites, gear retailers, or relevant partners)
How Affiliate Marketing Works on Our Site
-
Product Recommendations and Reviews: We share honest opinions based on research, personal experience, or testing. When we link to products via affiliate links, we disclose it clearly.
-
No Influence on Content: Affiliate relationships do not influence our editorial content. We prioritize helpful, accurate information for you.
-
Sponsored Content: If any post is sponsored (paid promotion beyond affiliates), it will be clearly labeled as "Sponsored" or "Paid Partnership."
-
No Extra Cost to You: Prices remain the same whether you use our link or go directly to the retailer.
In-Content Disclosures
On individual posts or pages with affiliate links, you'll see clear notices such as:
-
"This post contains affiliate links."
-
"#ad" or "#affiliatelink"
-
"We may earn a commission if you purchase through our links."
These are placed prominently, often at the top of the content or near the links.
Why We Use Affiliate Links
Affiliate earnings help cover Site costs like hosting, research, and time spent creating content. This model allows us to keep Chronicles of a Wayward Drifter free and accessible while maintaining independence.
Your Trust Matters
We value your trust above all. All recommendations are based on what we believe will be useful to you. If we wouldn't use or recommend something ourselves (or to friends/family), it won't appear on our Site.
Changes to This Disclosure
We may update this Affiliate Disclosure periodically. Changes will be posted here with the updated date.
