Affiliate Disclosure

The honest, plain-words version of how I get paid.

You've probably been burned by somebody online who wasn't upfront about what was in it for them. I don't ever want you to wonder that about me. So here it is, plain and simple.

What's an affiliate link?

Some of the links on this website, in my blog posts, in my emails and on my social media are affiliate links. That just means if you click one and buy something or sign up, the company may pay me a small thank-you commission for sending you their way.

It never costs you a penny more. You pay the same price you would pay anywhere else. Sometimes I can even get you a special deal or a free trial you wouldn't find on your own.

Amazon

As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.

When I share a product I like on Amazon, whether it's something for the kitchen, a book that helped me or a handy item for the road, the link may be an affiliate link. If you buy through it, Amazon pays me a small commission at no extra cost to you.

The online business tools I use

I'm a paying member of the online business tools and coaching programs I recommend, and I'm also an affiliate for them. If you join through my link, I may earn a commission, and you'll also get access to the coaching community I'm part of, so you're never left to figure things out alone.

I would never recommend something I don't use myself or wouldn't recommend to my own family.

No promises about income

I share my own story because I hope it encourages you, but my results are not typical, and they're not a promise of what you'll earn. Everyone's situation is different. What you earn depends on your effort, your time, your circumstances and many things outside anyone's control. Building online income takes real work and patience. Anyone who promises you'll get rich quick is someone to walk away from.

My opinions are my own

Everything I share is my honest opinion based on my own experience. I'm not a lawyer, accountant or financial advisor, so please talk with a professional before making big financial decisions.

Questions?

If anything here doesn't make sense, or you'd like to know whether a certain link is an affiliate link, just email me at deb@simplebutprofitable.com. These come straight to me, and I'm always happy to answer.

Thank you for trusting me. It means the world. 💛
