Some, but not all links on my site will be affiliate links. This means if you buy based on my recommendation I may be paid a commission. I never recommend anything I haven't used and found helpful.
It does not cost you any extra to use an affiliate link to buy something, in a few cases it may be cheaper as you get a discount
If I have a relationship with something I write about, I'll let you know.
When I share things about my clients I do so with their permission and I let you know that they are a client.
Sometimes I am gifted small items to review and when that's the case I'll disclose that in the post.
Be reassured I never endorse anything just for the money, I never review anything just to make a few bucks and if I don't like something I say why I don't like it so you can make an informed decision.
No two blogs are the same, so I try to give as much detail as possible when I write my reviews and show how I use the products, services and software and how you may find them helpful.
