At Backspace Marketing Agency, we help readers by suggesting resources to make better decisions so they can get best results from these.
We believe that one way to grow right is not ignoring easy opportunities. After all, you spend time and work hard on your journey to get everything on point with all the necessary tools and resources.
When there is something we find valuable for our readers, we share links to the resource and sometimes some of the links are our affiliate links.
So let’s talk about affiliate links.
Affiliate Links
Sometimes when we recommend a website, resource or product, we’ll link to the company’s website using what’s known as an affiliate or referral link. Basically, if you end up buying a product that you found via our link, we get a commission from the vendor as a small “thank you.”
Sometimes that commission is just a few dollars; sometimes it’s a little more. Sometimes it’s a one-time commission; sometimes it’s a rolling commission — so if you sign up for a monthly subscription service we might get a slice of that monthly fee.
But here’s the important thing — that referral doesn’t cost you a penny. The entire commission comes out of the vendor’s pocket not yours.
And it goes without saying that we’ll never recommend a resource, link or product simply because it pays us a commission because that would be sleazy, right?
So we’ll only recommend products that we’ve personally used or that come highly recommended by trusted peers. (After all, if we only recommended products we’re using ourselves right now, we’d be doing you a disservice, because there are resources, tools that are a great fit when you’re starting out, Make sense?)
So that you can easily tell when we’re using an affiliate link, we’ll put (affiliate link) after it.
For instance, this is what an affiliate link to our recommend blog host Bluehost looks like: Bluehost (affiliate link)
