At BalancedBrawn, we believe in full transparency with our community. This affiliate disclosure provides important information about how we earn revenue through certain affiliate partnerships and programs.
Some of the links on this website are “affiliate links.” This means if you click on the link and purchase the item or service, we may receive an affiliate commission.
We only recommend products and services that we believe will provide value to our audience and align with our mission of helping people achieve a balanced lifestyle of strength and wellness. We thoroughly research and test products and services before ever promoting them.
However, you should rely on your own judgment when making purchasing decisions. We try our best to keep things fair and balanced to help you make the best choice.
How Our Affiliate Programs Work
Amazon Associates Program BalancedBrawn is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to amazon.com.
Commission Rate: We earn a small commission, usually between 1-10%, from purchases made through our affiliate links to Amazon.com. These affiliate links allow us to earn fees that help support our work on this website.
Other Affiliate Programs In addition to Amazon, we are also affiliates for other companies whose products and services we believe in. This includes fitness equipment brands, activewear lines, supplements, online courses/programs, and more. The commission rates vary depending on the company and product/service.
Some examples of other major affiliate programs we participate in include:
- Onnit (Fitness equipment like kettlebells, steel clubs, etc)
- Rogue Fitness (Strength training equipment)
- Honest Supplement Company (Nutritional supplements)
- Coursera (Online courses/educational programs)
We remain unbiased and fully committed to our audience in providing value. We never let affiliate commissions influence our decisions or recommendations – we only promote products/services we truly believe in.
How We Use Affiliate Income
The affiliate compensation we receive helps cover the substantial costs of operating BalancedBrawn and providing our audience with robust free content week after week.
This includes investments in high quality website hosting/support, content production (writers, editors, etc), team compensation, continued learning/education, and much more.
Our aim is to provide outstanding value to you through our services, free content, and recommended products/services. Affiliate programs simply allow us to sustain our operations while maintaining our integrity.
Complete Transparency and Disclosures
In the spirit of transparency, you’ll notice any article, review, or content piece that contains affiliate links will have a disclaimer stating that BalancedBrawn might receive compensation for purchases made through those specific links.
You can rest assured that any product or service that does not meet our standards or provide value is not included on our website, regardless of potential affiliate compensation. Our priority is providing guidance you can trust.
We are very intentional about maintaining an objective, impartial perspective when it comes to the products and services we recommend as affiliates. We want to earn your trust through honest evaluations, not misleading sales pitches.
If you have any other questions about our affiliate relationships and how we use affiliate programs, please don’t hesitate to contact us. We’re committed to clear disclosure and open communication.
