Editorial policy

The Mindful Word places its readers’ needs first and foremost. For that reason we do not accept sponsored posts. Everything you read on The Mindful Word is purely written out of a desire to write rather than catering to advertisers’ needs.

Sometimes writers choose to write about a product (e.g. book review). In those cases, to cover our expenses we place Amazon affiliate links in the article so that we can earn a small commission (at no cost to the buyer) for something they would have bought anyways. For more information on this see the Affiliates section below.

Advertising

We run limited advertising on the site to cover our operational costs, but hopefully not too much that that it interferes with the reading process. We disallow advertising of all harmful products and services (eg. smoking and guns). If you see an ad that offends you let us know as we can alert our advertising network, Mediavine, who do a good job at filtering out ads that our audience does not like.

Affiliates

There are so many great resources out there. We support the purchase of conscious media because we believe that you can never stop learning. We are an affiliate of Amazon’s products. So if you see a link from a book or DVD, that’s our affiliate link.

We want to encourage people to buy the right products, so we review and excerpt conscious media that we want to support. We’ve also curated a list of recommended book, video and audio conscious media resources. Visit the Resources section for the lists.

Disclosure: The Mindful Word is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to amazon.com.

No sponsored content

We want to maintain our readers’ trust. Our editorial space is strictly reserved for editorial. We do not publish sponsored posts or any other form of advertorial content. Whatever you read on The Mindful Word was written because it’s something we feel is of use to our readers.
