Affiliate marketing means that a product or service is promoted in exchange for a commission. This website contains affiliate links, which means I may earn a small commission if you click on a link and make a purchase. Don’t worry, this won’t cost you any extra money at all! The commissions earned helps to support the maintenance and upkeep of this site and my free content.
Why I use affiliate links
I’m a full-time business owner – I edit for my author clients and write my own books. But I also write lots of free content on writing and publishing (on my blog and in my newsletter). Over the years, many people have told me they find this free content incredibly useful and are so grateful for the resources. Sadly, I don’t get paid for it even though it takes a lot of time! Including affiliate links on my blog means I get a teensy return on all that work.
How affiliate links work
When you click on an affiliate link, a cookie is placed on your browser to track any sales for the purpose of assigning commissions. I am a participant in affiliate programs such as Amazon Services LLC Associates Program. These are designed to provide a means for sites to earn commission by advertising and linking to relevant products.
