Affiliate Links: How They Work & Why They Matter

Transparency First

I believe in being 100% clear about how I make money. If you see an affiliate link on my site, here’s what that means:

• If you click it and sign up, I may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you.
• I only share tools and services I’ve personally used or that I truly believe will save you time, money, or headaches.
• I always disclose affiliate links in any blog post or email where they appear, usually with a note near the top and again in the footer.

Where the Money Goes

Here’s the twist: affiliate income doesn’t just go into my pocket. Instead, all affiliate commissions go into a separate fund I call The Visibility Fund.

The Visibility Fund is used to:

• Offer scholarships or discounts to small businesses who are cash-strapped but ready to grow.
• Provide “pay-it-forward” price breaks for services and resources.
• Support tiny local businesses that might otherwise be left behind.

When you use an affiliate link through me, you’re not just helping yourself, you’re helping another small business owner somewhere in the ecosystem.

Why I Do This

• Because small businesses succeed when they support each other.
• Because I want my recommendations to feel like shortcuts, not sales pitches.
• Because visibility should be accessible to every business, not just the ones with big budgets.

So when you see an affiliate link here, you can feel good knowing that one click is part of a bigger cycle:

💡 You save time or money → I get a commission → Another small business gets a boost.

That’s how we grow stronger together.
