I participate with a number of affiliate programs. Rosalind Gardner define: “affiliate marketing is an arrangement between an online merchant and affiliate (you), in which the affiliate earns a commission for generating sales, leads and/or clicks for the merchant’s web site.” This is what I do.

I know lots of sites that withheld this knowledge and when you buy the products you’ll never even know, but I don’t believe in this strategy. I believe people should be treated the way they want to be treated. If I buy from another person, it would be nice to know if the link I clicked through received a commission.

I have links on my website that linked to various products and I receive a small referral reward. I do this because I love learning, and I love sharing what I learned with others, and it be nice if I can support myself at the same time. So I use the funds from the referrals to learn, support and maintain this site.

The reason I am laying everything on the table is simple. My site is not all about making money. Please refrain from thinking this blog is only for commercial use.

I also believe the products I listed on my blog are good products. They are products I believe in and are not simply out to make money. You might have notice there are lots of information products out in the net, but some are hardly useful.

My desire is not simply to make money but to provide quality links to good products. I fully believe if people can get access to quality materials, shouldn’t they get it without costing them an arm and legs to buy?

Now you know my relationship with my affiliate programs. I leave all your decisions up to you. If you want to click on my links, go ahead. If you object my participation as an affiliate with certain products and wish to buy it off the vendor directly, please go right ahead. I don’t believe in forcing my readers to do anything they do not want. However, I do hope you enjoy the free stuff I provided. I had always wished someone else had done the same to me when I started out. ^^

Please email me if you believe the vendors are not delivering on their promise. I like to be informed, so I can change my review. Thanks in advance.
