Affiliate disclosure helps readers understand when I receive compensation in exchange for recommending or linking to products and services. In the United States, guidance from the Federal Trade Commission spells out how online content creators like myself should be upfront when there’s a financial relationship involved. This helps people like you know if a link or review earns me a commission or referral fee, so you can make an informed choice.
Following these guidelines, I want you to know that some links across succeedwithjeff.com are affiliate links. I earn a small commission on qualifying purchases made through them, which helps cover the costs of running the site, such as web hosting, software, upkeep, and ongoing development. There is never any extra cost to you.
How Affiliate Links Work
When you click on an affiliate link from my site, you are sent to a seller’s website. Your entire purchase is completed on their platform, not here. If you buy a product by using one of these links, I may receive a small fee or a percentage of the purchase as a thank you for the referral. This does not affect the amount you pay. You still pay the same price, no matter if you use an affiliate link from this site or if you visit the seller’s page on your own.
Affiliate programs are popular among websites, blogs, and review platforms. Through these programs, companies reward content creators for introducing new customers. My aim is to be clear about my use of these links, so you always know if I may earn a commission.
It’s worth noting that affiliate links do not affect my opinions or recommendations. Every product or service I talk about is one I genuinely think will be helpful or relevant to my readers. When I suggest a product, it is because I have either used it myself or thoroughly researched its quality and value.
Types of Affiliates Featured
I may take part in a range of affiliate programs with different companies. Right now, succeedwithjeff.com is not partnered with Amazon; instead, you might see links to other retailers, online services, digital resources, or software providers. When you spot these links, they are my way of pointing you toward products or services I find useful, again with no extra cost to you if you make a purchase.
If you click an affiliate link and make a purchase, I get a small part of the sale. Sometimes, I might get a set fee for certain offers. These programs only provide rewards for confirmed purchases; simply clicking a link does not benefit me directly. Some of these affiliate offers can include digital downloads, online courses, memberships, and other digital resources. If anything works differently—such as if I get compensated for clicks only—I will be upfront about it so you know in advance.
If you have any questions or thoughts about affiliate links or what I recommend, please ask me directly. I want you to be confident and informed every time you decide to follow a link or take my advice.
Sponsorships and Paid Content
I do not publish paid posts or sponsored content. My priority is to give you honest, experience-based advice. If, down the road, I accept direct sponsorships, you will see a clear disclosure at the top of any paid post or article. This will always let you know if compensation might have influenced content or placement.
