Affiliate Disclosure
How I Make Money
Many of the links on this site are affiliate links. This means that I have partnered with these companies and organizations, and I may receive compensation if you click on these links and make a purchase. This is one of the primary ways I monetize Productive Penny and keep the site running.
My Commitment to You
Even though I may be compensated by my affiliate partners, this compensation does not influence my opinions, reviews, or recommendations. I maintain complete editorial independence and will only recommend products and services that I have:
- Researched extensively and thoroughly vetted
- Used myself or have direct experience with
- Genuinely believe will provide value to my readers
- Would recommend to my own family and friends
I am extremely selective about the products and services I choose to promote. My reputation and your trust are far more valuable to me than any commission I might earn.
What This Means for You
No extra cost to you: When you use my affiliate links, you pay the exact same price as you would if you went directly to the company's website. The affiliate commission comes from the company's marketing budget, not your pocket.
Honest recommendations: I will always clearly indicate when a link is an affiliate link, and I'll never recommend something just because it pays a high commission. My recommendations are based on value, quality, and how well they align with the financial principles I teach.
Your choice: Using my affiliate links is completely optional. You're always free to search for these products or services independently if you prefer.
Types of Affiliate Relationships
I may have affiliate relationships with companies in the following categories:
- Financial services and apps (banking, investing, budgeting tools)
- Educational resources (books, courses, financial education)
- Software and tools that help with money management
- Credit cards and financial products (when genuinely beneficial)
- Other products or services that align with smart financial habits
Questions or Concerns?
If you have any questions about my affiliate relationships or this disclosure, please don't hesitate to contact me. I'm always happy to provide more information about any recommendations I make.
