Introduction
Welcome to Blogging Unlocked. We believe in clarity, transparency, and keeping things honest—especially when it comes to how this blog earns income. This disclosure explains our affiliate relationships so you can trust what you see here.
What Are Affiliate Links?
Some of the links on this site are affiliate links. That means if you click and make a purchase or sign up for something, we may earn a small commission—at no extra cost to you. This helps us run the site and continue sharing helpful, free content.
What We Promote
On Blogging Unlocked, we focus on recommending tools and opportunities that support our mission of helping beginners earn income online. These include:
- Blogging platforms and tools
- Pinterest marketing tools and schedulers
- Affiliate programs and networks
- Side hustle apps and platforms
- Remote job boards and freelance platforms
- Online courses, tools, and training for beginners
- SEO, email marketing, and content creation tools
- Personal finance apps, savings tools, and budgeting platforms (coming soon)
- Investment and income-building opportunities — including platforms for forex, digital assets, and beginner investing (coming soon)
Every recommendation is based on deep research, creator experience, or verified user feedback. If we promote something we haven’t personally used, it’s because we believe it’s worth knowing about—and we always look at whether real people (especially beginners) are finding success with it.
How We Disclose
We make it easy to spot affiliate content. You’ll see disclosures:
- At the beginning of blog posts containing affiliate links
- Next to links, often marked with tags like “(affiliate link)”, “#ad” or “#partner”
- In Pinterest Pins and social posts where affiliate links are included
How We’re Compensated
We may earn through:
- Commission on product or service purchases
- Pay-per-lead or sign-up programs
- Sponsored placements or featured content
- Free access to tools for review purposes
Whatever the method, you can trust that we only share what we believe could actually help our readers.
Our Approach to Recommendations
We’re not here to pretend we’ve tried every tool or worked every remote job. Instead, we follow a process grounded in what we wish we had when we started:
- Test personally whenever it makes sense
- Research deeply before recommending anything
- Cross-reference results from trusted users, beginner communities, and verified reviews
- Stay transparent about how we know what we know
Our Commitment to You
We know what it’s like to feel lost, overwhelmed, and unsure who to trust online. That’s why our promise is simple:
- We’ll never hype what we wouldn’t stand behind.
- We’ll always say why we’re recommending something.
- And if we ever change our mind about a tool or opportunity—we’ll update our content accordingly.
FTC Compliance
This disclosure aligns with the FTC’s guidelines on endorsements and affiliate relationships. We aim for transparency that’s both human and honest.
