Healthy Habits Everyday earns money from some of the links in its writing. This page sets out exactly how, in keeping with the Federal Trade Commission guidance on endorsements and testimonials.
The short version
Some outbound links are affiliate links. If you follow one and buy something, the retailer may pay me a small commission. What you pay does not change, and you are never charged more for having arrived through this site.
Where these links appear
Inside articles, where a specific notebook, timer, app or shop is named. Every article carrying one shows a disclosure at the top of the page, before the writing rather than buried under it, so you know before you read and not after.
What the commission does not buy
It does not buy a mention, a conclusion, or a position anywhere. Most of what gets named here earns nothing at all, because most of it is a pen, a wall calendar, a kitchen timer or a piece of paper. Where the free option does the job just as well the piece says so, even though the free option pays nothing, and on this site that is the usual answer. Several pieces here end by concluding that the tracking app was the problem, which is not a conclusion that pays.
Free products
If a company sends me something at no charge, or gives me a subscription, the piece says so in plain words. Being sent something is not a promise to cover it and never a promise to be kind about it.
What is never affiliated here
Nothing on this site links to supplements, medical devices, treatment programmes, or anything sold on a health claim, and none of those will ever carry a commission here. That is a line rather than a preference. This site has no business recommending anything you put in your body, paid or otherwise.
Why the disclosure sits at the top
Because a disclosure you find after reading is not really a disclosure. The FTC guidance asks for it to be clear and conspicuous, and the only version of that I can defend is one you cannot miss.
Questions
If a link on this site is not clearly disclosed, that is a mistake and I want to know about it. Write to hello@healthyhabitseveryday.org.
