To fund this website, I accept paid advertising and use affiliate links. Here’s an overview of my different sources of income for the sake of transparency.
Adverts
I hand select adverts for my site. Typically, I’ll only accept advertising for products or services that I think my readers will benefit from.
Advertorials / Paid Editorial
If I run a paid editorial/advertorial on this site (e.g. if a brand are paying for a piece of content) this will be clearly marked. I’ll only ever accept paid content that is high quality, and that I think my readers will benefit from.
Affiliate Links
Some outbound links on this site tracked by merchants (such as Amazon, StudioPress, MailChimp etc) who will pay me a small percentage commission on any sales that come as a result of visitors clicking from my site. You’ll find this common practice on a HUGE range of sites: blogs, magazines and newspapers. The commission is at NO EXTRA COST TO YOU as the buyer, the price is always the same whether you use my link or not. You can read more about these ‘affiliate’ links in my cookie policy here. You can also find out how to turn off cookies on that page.
I earn affiliate revenue though the following networks. This is NOT an exhaustive list:
- SkimLinks
- ShopStyle Collective
- RewardStyle
- Affiliate Window
- Webgains
- Linkshare
- ShareASale
- Commission Junction
- Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk
As per the Amazon Operating Agreement I have to state that I am a participant in the Amazon EU Associates Programme, an affiliate advertising programme designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to amazon.co.uk. I am also 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.
Reviews:
If I get paid to review a product or piece of software, or given a product or piece of software for free in exchange for a review, I will always disclose this first and foremost. I will always give my candid, honest opinion. I wouldn’t agree to review a product/service if I was briefed what to write beforehand.
If you want to learn any more, or find out how any of the above works, just contact me.
Cheers!
