Affiliate Links
This blog includes affiliate links to apps, websites and services. This will track use cookies. For example, we use Amazon affiliate links. Amazon, a third party affiliate marketing network, uses cookies to help make sure I get a commission when you buy a product after clicking on a link or ad banner that takes you to the site of one of their merchants. You can read Amazon’s Privacy Policy. Our other affiliate link will work much the same as Amazon. Email me to request any specific privacy policies with these companies. They include but are not limited to: Flodesk, ShareaSale, and Printful.

Sponsored Links
Sponsored links are offsite links that someone has paid me to include in a blog post or webpage. There is no other consequence (such as cookies or further commissions to me) for users or myself by clicking the link. My policy is that I will never consider any sponsored link offers if the content of the link is irrelevant and unhelpful to my readers.
Sponsored Posts
Sponsored posts (articles) are comparable to a business sponsoring a sports team or charity event. Depending on the arrangement, they pay the creator a set amount in order for a shout out in return. The shout out can be anything from a brief one-sentence promotion to a full segment of content focused on them. The deal may involved affiliate links (see above) or coupon code offers to readers. Sponsored post offers are considered carefully with my readers’ interests in mind.
