Transparency First
Affiliate Disclosure
Our commitment to honest recommendations and transparent business practices
Our Commitment to You
At LifehackGuide, we believe in complete transparency about how we operate our business while maintaining our commitment to providing you with honest, unbiased product recommendations.
Our Promise:
We will never recommend a product solely because it pays us a commission. Every recommendation is based on our rigorous testing process and genuine belief that the product will benefit our readers.
How Affiliate Marketing Works
LifehackGuide participates in various affiliate marketing programs, which means we may earn a commission when you purchase products through links on our website. Here's how it works:
- You click a product link on our website
- You're redirected to the retailer's website (like Amazon, manufacturer sites, etc.)
- If you make a purchase, we may receive a small commission
- You pay the same price โ affiliate commissions don't increase your cost
Our Editorial Independence
Our affiliate partnerships never influence our editorial decisions. Here's how we maintain complete independence:
๐ฌ Testing Before Partnerships
We purchase and test products with our own funds before establishing any affiliate relationships. Our reviews are written based on actual testing experience, not marketing materials or commission rates.
๐ We Buy Our Own Products
We purchase every product we review at full retail price using our own funds. We don't accept free products from manufacturers, as this could create bias in our testing and recommendations.
โ๏ธ Commission Doesn't Influence Rankings
Products are ranked based on our testing results, user feedback, and objective performance criteria โ never by commission rates. Sometimes our top-rated products have lower commissions than alternatives.
โ Honest Negative Reviews
We publish honest negative reviews even when products have affiliate programs. If a product doesn't meet our standards, we'll tell you โ regardless of potential lost revenue.
