What This is For
To be able to pay all the costs associated with running a website (hosting fees, domain name, softwares, my time), there are many ways in which I can be compensated. That being said, user happiness and trust is my #1 priority. If something I do doesn’t feel right to you, please feel free to email me and voice your opinion – I will listen!
My Reviews & Opinions
You will find a lot of my personal opinions on this site. Some of the reviews and opinions may be posted as a result of compensation from the producing company or service being reviewed. However, that does NOT mean my good opinion can be bought. If a review has been compensated, it is still written entirely in my own words and voice, and the opinions contained are truthful and completely mine. If I am offered compensation for a product I do not like, I will turn it down. If I find a product or service harmful or deceitful to others, I will refuse compensation and refuse to promote it. Not all positive reviews are compensated; some are products and services that I have personally used and feel prompted to recommend. You will know if I have been compensated for a review, because it will be clearly identified within the post. If you see no such indication, it is an organic review of my own purchase or experience.
Guest Posts
Guest posts may appear on this blog. They must be from individuals I personally follow and/or respect, and must fit into the general theme of this website. Guests posts are never purchased, are written by the credited Poster, and are reviewed by me prior to publishing to ensure they are appropriate and useful to my audience. If you are interested in submitting a guest post, please email me.
Affiliate Marketing
I can be compensated for sales or leads generated through affiliate marketing links on this website. I do not litter the website with these links; they appear when it is pertinent to the information being provided. I usually promote products or services I personally use. Some of my preferred affiliates are:
If you click on one of those links and make a purchase or sign up for a service, you will not be charged more than the normal price, but I will earn a small commission, affording me more time to produce enjoyable content on this website!
Banner Ads
You may see ads on this website in the header, footer, sidebar, and/or content. They may be from a global ad service or from companies that contact me directly for advertisement. These ads provide me with some compensation (at no cost or obligation to you) to afford me more time to produce this website. Any advertisements found to be in conflict with my personal values, or advertisements for products or services I deem harmful or deceitful to my users, will be removed immediately.
