Affiliate Policy

How I Use—And Disclose—Affiliate Links

In September 2008, I became a full-time blogger. It was a big step that is both terrifying and exciting at the same time. On the one hand, I’m my own boss. On the other, I’m solely responsible for my own salary.

And that’s where my affiliate advertising policy comes in. Like many blogs and content Websites out there, I earn money (not gazillions, but hopefully enough to get by) from advertising on this site. Some of my paycheck comes from the ubiquitous Google AdSense ads at the top of every post, and some of it comes from affiliates.

Affiliates are advertisers that pay me when this I refer users to their Website and users complete a certain action, such as creating an account or making a purchase. Links to affiliate advertisers are contained in the body of some Money Under 30 articles. Going forward, I will be doing my best to disclose my relationship with any and all products, services, or Websites mentioned in Money Under 30 articles, including affiliate links. There are, however, some posts from the past where these disclosures are not yet in place. I’ll be working on fixing those as well.

Please note that although affiliate advertisers help support the continued publication of this site, I am committed to providing unbiased financial commentary. I will not accept or promote an affiliate if I do not believe in the value of the product or service, and I will never accept compensation in any form to write about something or provide advice that I feel is not beneficial to Money Under 30’s audience.

Have questions or concerns about my policy? Please let me know.

As always, thanks for reading!
