As a website owner, I’m required by law to comply with the Federal Trade Commission’s 16 CFR, Part 255: “Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising.”

On a more personal note, I believe that being transparent with my audience is the right thing to do. That’s why I’m creating this disclosure page to let you know that I do make money from this website.

If you’re using this website, then you should know:

• I get direct benefits from every post and page I put on this website. Whether that is the monetary or simple joy of helping others, I’m benefiting from it.
• If you see an external link with a prefix /refer/, or sponsor legal, then it is an affiliate or sponsors link or post. What that means is if you click on that link and purchase a product, then at no additional cost to you, I will receive a small referral commission.
• I do get a lot of freebies that I test and review. Often vendors send me those freebies in exchange for a review. However, that doesn’t mean that they get a positive review. If I don’t like the product, then I will slam them. That’s just the way I roll.
• I do write about my own products and websites, so yes that means those projects get additional PR and exposure.
