Affiliates
We belong to affiliate programs for certain businesses. We share their products or services in exchange for a commission or financial reward when you click and/or make a purchase through our links. This is always at no cost to you. The cost of any products or services you purchase through our affiliate links is the same as if you purchased without using our links. Sometimes, we may even be able to offer you a discount with that company as a result of our affiliate relationship with them. But it will never cost you a penny more.
We are a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for us to earn fees by linking to Amazon.ca. As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases. Amazon uses cookies to track visits through our customized Affiliate links for the purpose of assigning commissions on these sales.
We try to be transparent about any affiliate links and will disclose whenever a post, email, or other content contains affiliate links. Mentions of associated products, services, or companies may or may not be noted as an affiliate in every reference.
We know how hard you work for your money and we never want to recommend or share a product or service that we do not believe is of high quality and worth using or buying. Whenever possible, we only share products or services that we have personally used so we can attest to the quality and accuracy of the advertised product/service and the company itself. However, we may occasionally share products or services that we have not personally tested. We will always try to disclose when we have not used these products/services. These may be shared as alternates when the product we recommended is not available in other countries or sold out online. We may also share products/services that we have not used but from companies we have worked with so we can attest to the reputability of the business.
We try to source and share products/services that are relevant to the content of the Site, but may occasionally share other products/services that we think many of our readers may also enjoy.
Any recommendations or reviews of a product, service, or company that we share are completely our own opinions. This is true whether it is shared through an affiliate link or not. We cannot guarantee that information provided through these external companies is accurate. It is your own responsibility to obtain complete information about any product or service that you purchase. We are not responsible for any problems that you experience with your purchase. Please consult the company you purchased from regarding any issues.
I may receive products from a partnered company for free in exchange for my review or sharing of the product. This in no way changes my perception or review of the product. Any reviews, recommendations, or thoughts that I share are my true, honest opinion.
These affiliate links are provided based on our personal experiences and preferences. You are in no way required or obligated to click on these affiliate links or to purchase any of the products or services we share.
This Disclosure Policy applies to all affiliate links that are shared by Making for a Living through the Site, emails, social media, products and resources (free or paid), courses, e-books, correspondence, services, and more.
Sponsored Posts
A sponsored post is another type of paid partnership we may undertake with another company. The company will offer us financial incentive to write/share the post about their products or services. We may receive payment, discounts, or free products in exchange for the sponsored content.
We try to be transparent about any sponsored posts and will disclose whenever a post, email, or other content is sponsored. Mentions of associated products, services, or companies may or may not be noted as a sponsored partner/post in every reference.
As with affiliate links, we try to only share sponsored content for products, services, or companies that we recommend or have found valuable in our personal use. We always try to share products/services that are relevant to the content of the Site, but may occasionally share other products/services that we think our readers may also enjoy.
Any reviews or recommendations through sponsored posts are strictly our personal, honest opinions and based on our own experiences. You are responsible for performing your own due diligence in researching the product and company before using them. We are not responsible for any misinformation provided by the other company or for any problems that you experience through the products or services you buy from them. Our experiences are our own and you are not guaranteed to receive the same results if you choose to use the information, products, services, or companies that we share.
