We believe in being upfront with our readers, so here’s the plain-English version: finds101.com contains affiliate links, and we may earn a commission when you buy something through them — at no extra cost to you.
What this means
finds101.com is a participant in various affiliate programs and partnerships. When we link to a product or service, that link is sometimes an “affiliate link.” If you click it and make a purchase or sign up, the merchant or affiliate network may pay us a small commission.
Here’s the important part:
- You never pay more. The price you pay is exactly the same whether you use our link or go to the merchant directly. The commission comes out of the merchant’s margin, not your pocket.
- A commission doesn’t buy a good review. We recommend products based on research and genuine usefulness — not on which program pays the most. We’re happy to point out a product’s downsides, and we’ll recommend free or cheaper options where they’re the better choice.
- Not every link is an affiliate link. Many links on this site are simply references to helpful resources and earn us nothing.
Programs we participate in
finds101.com may earn commissions through a range of affiliate networks and individual merchant programs across the categories we cover — technology, software, AI tools, finance, learning, lifestyle, and deals. The specific partners can change over time as we update our content.
Why we use affiliate links
Producing well-researched reviews, comparisons, and guides takes time. Affiliate commissions are how we keep finds101.com running and free to read. We only ever recommend things we’d be comfortable suggesting to a friend.
Our promise to you
- We only feature products and services we’ve researched or believe provide real value.
- Our opinions are our own and are never dictated by advertisers or affiliate partners.
- We clearly operate this site as a commercial, ad- and affiliate-supported publication, in line with advertising-disclosure rules — including the U.S. FTC’s endorsement guidelines and Japan’s regulations on advertising labeling (景品表示法 / the rules on stealth marketing).
