Affiliate Disclosure
In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's guidelines on endorsements and testimonials (16 CFR Part 255), here is a full and honest account of how this site makes money.
How affiliate links work
When we link to a book, app, or course, that link may be an affiliate link. If you click it and make a purchase, the merchant pays us a small commission. You pay exactly the same price either way — the commission comes out of the merchant's side, not yours.
Programs we participate in
- Amazon Associates. As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases. Most book links in the Library go to Amazon.
- Partner programs for tools we review — such as Blinkist, MasterClass, and other services covered in Reviews. Our participation in a partner program is never a condition of a positive review.
What this doesn't change
- Every review reflects our honest assessment. We use the products we review. When something isn't worth paying for, we say so — including recommending free alternatives that earn us nothing.
- Rankings and verdicts are editorial decisions, made by The ThinkSuccess Editors before any consideration of affiliate economics. We don't accept payment for favorable coverage.
- We cover things with no affiliate program at all when they're the best answer for readers.
Sponsored content
If a piece of content is ever sponsored — meaning a company paid for its placement — it is always clearly labeled as sponsored at the top of the page. An unlabeled article is not sponsored, period.
Our own products
The Shop sells digital products we make ourselves (journals, planners, templates). Those aren't affiliate products — they're ours, and their terms are covered in the Terms of Use.
Questions
If anything about how we make money is unclear, contact us via the About page. See also our Privacy Policy for how affiliate tracking works on the data side.
