Some posts on stephenbruppe.com contain affiliate links. This means that if you click on one of those affiliate links that I have created for a particular product, or service, and make a purchase, I may earn a small commission from that purchase — at no extra cost to you.
I Own It, Have Owned It, or It’s Highly Recommended By Others I Know & Trust
I only recommend products that I genuinely believe are helpful or interesting. 99% of the time, the product (or service) that I’m recommending, I own (or have owned) myself. If I do not currently own the product, or have never owned it, I will make that perfectly clear in the content I am posting about it.
My opinions are always my own. I will also NEVER “overly hype” my interest, or my enthusiasm, towards a particular product just to make it sound more appealing. For me, just because something is popular at the time doesn’t necessarily mean I will like it, nor think you should like it. I will only project my honest opinion based on my first-hand experience with the product.
The Programs
There are a variety of programs out there that allow creators like myself to participate in. And there are also those that are a little more strict on who they allow into their affiliate programs. The affiliate programs that I will participate in at some point will include:
- Amazon Associates
- Sweetwater
- & Other similar programs in the future
Affiliate Program Participation Purpose
I participate in some of these programs for a couple of reasons:
Prudence
If I own the product, or service, I think its only prudent to capitalize on my efforts to talk / write about it by simply taking the extra couple of minutes necessary to grab the affiliate link for said product in-order-to receive a commission.
everyone benefits
By promoting products I own and like, I get to help out the company I bought it from, I get compensated for my efforts, and you get to be introduced to a new, cool item. Everyone Wins!…
