Affiliate Disclosure

Transparency is important to us

Our Commitment to Transparency

At HustleVault, we believe in being completely transparent about how we generate revenue. This page explains our affiliate relationships and how we earn money from some of the recommendations we make.

What Are Affiliate Links?

Affiliate links are special tracking links that allow us to earn a commission when you sign up for a service or make a purchase through our recommendation. Here's how it works:

  • You click a link to a product or service we recommend
  • If you make a purchase or sign up, we may receive a small commission
  • You pay the same price – there's no extra cost to you
  • The commission comes from the company, not from your pocket

Which Links Are Affiliate Links?

HustleVault participates in affiliate programs with various platforms including (but not limited to):

  • Gig Economy Platforms: Upwork, Fiverr, TaskRabbit, Rover
  • Software & Tools: ChatGPT Plus, Grammarly, various productivity tools
  • E-commerce Platforms: Etsy, Printful, Shopify
  • Financial Services: High-yield savings accounts, investment platforms
  • Course Platforms: Udemy, Skillshare, and similar learning sites

Our Promise to You

We only recommend products and services we've personally used or thoroughly researched. Our affiliate relationships do not influence our editorial decisions. Here's our commitment:

  • ✓ We never recommend something just because it pays a commission
  • ✓ If a product doesn't work well, we'll tell you—even if we have an affiliate relationship
  • ✓ We disclose affiliate relationships clearly in articles
  • ✓ Our reviews are honest and based on real experience
  • ✓ We prioritize your success over our commission

Non-Affiliate Recommendations

Many of our recommendations have no affiliate relationship. We recommend them simply because they're good products that we believe will help you. Examples include:

  • Free tools and resources
  • Platforms that don't offer affiliate programs
  • Government resources and official sites
  • Community forums and groups

FTC Compliance

We comply with the Federal Trade Commission's guidelines concerning the use of endorsements and testimonials in advertising. Our affiliate disclosures meet FTC requirements, and we maintain transparency in all promotional content.

How Commissions Help HustleVault

Affiliate commissions help us:

  • Keep HustleVault free for readers
  • Test new side hustles and tools (so you don't have to risk your money)
  • Produce high-quality, well-researched content
  • Maintain and improve the website
  • Continue providing value to the hustling community

Your Choice

You are never obligated to use our affiliate links. You can always:

  • Search for the product/service directly
  • Compare our recommendations with other sources
  • Choose alternative products entirely

Our goal is to provide value, regardless of whether you use our links.
