Introduction
Thank you for visiting Centssational.com. This affiliate disclosure is designed to inform you about how we earn money through this website and to ensure transparency regarding our promotional content.
What Are Affiliate Links?
Throughout Centssational.com, you’ll find links to products and services that I recommend. Many of these links are “affiliate links.” This means that if you click on one of these links and subsequently make a purchase, I may receive a small commission or other compensation at no additional cost to you.
Our Affiliate Relationships
Centssational.com participates in several affiliate programs, including but not limited to:
- Amazon Associates Program: As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
- Other Affiliate Programs: I also participate in affiliate programs with companies like Wayfair, Etsy, Target, and various financial and blogging platforms.
All product recommendations are based on genuine belief in their value. I only recommend products that I believe will benefit my readers, regardless of whether they have an affiliate program.
How to Identify Affiliate Links
To ensure full transparency, I identify affiliate links in the following ways:
- Within Content: I include a brief disclosure at the beginning of any post containing affiliate links.
- Near Links: You’ll see indicators like “(affiliate link)”, “#ad”, or “#CommissionsEarned” near affiliate links.
- In Product Reviews: All product reviews clearly state whether they contain affiliate links.
Compensation Disclosure
I may receive compensation in several ways:
- Commission on sales when you purchase through my links
- Free products provided for review purposes
- Flat fees for featuring certain products
- Pay-per-click or pay-per-lead arrangements
Regardless of the compensation method, I always disclose these relationships to maintain transparency with you, my reader.
Pinterest and Social Media Content
When sharing affiliate content on Pinterest or other social media platforms, I follow the same disclosure principles. All pins or posts containing affiliate links include appropriate disclosures in descriptions or captions.
My Commitment to You
Despite these affiliate relationships, I am committed to:
- Honesty: All opinions expressed are genuinely my own.
- Independence: No company dictates my content or opinions.
- Research-Based: My product recommendations are based on thorough research, aggregate reviews, and verified user experiences.
- Transparency: I will always disclose affiliate relationships clearly.

It’s important to note that I don’t personally test every product mentioned on Centssational.com. Many reviews are research-based, combining information from verified user reviews, expert evaluations, and comprehensive online research. I always disclose my level of experience with any product discussed.
