Occasionally you’ll come across affiliate links on this website.

What are they, and what is affiliate marketing?

Affiliate marketing refers to the promotion of a product or service in return for a commission. You may see an occasional message on my web pages about affiliate links in the text. This means that when you click and purchase the product or service via the link, I earn a small part of the sale.

This will never cost you a penny/cent more than if you were to purchase the product on the same site without going through my link. The only difference is that the company the link goes to will get slightly less of your money, and I will get slightly more. You will not be paying any extra.

I only ever link to products or services that I have either used myself and had a positive experience with, or that trusted friends or colleagues of mine have highly recommended to me. I will never provide an affiliate link to a website that isn’t reputable, or to a product or service that I wouldn’t be 100% comfortable spending my own money on.

Why do I have affiliate links on my website?

It’s not easy being self-employed. Much of my time is spent on unpaid work (marketing, admin, etc). If I don’t work, I don’t get paid, simple as. Holidays and time off sick means zero money coming in.

Affiliate links bring in a small amount of extra money to help pay the bills each month.

Being an affiliate also encourages me to buy products and services to try out before I recommend them to you. So you benefit too!
