Affiliate Disclosure

The short version

Some links on this site are affiliate links. If you click an affiliate link and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you. We only recommend tools and platforms we've personally tested, and our editorial decisions are made independently of our affiliate partnerships. See our editorial policy for the full firewall process.

How affiliate links are marked

Affiliate links inside our articles are tagged with rel=“sponsored noopener” as required by Google's webmaster guidelines and the FTC's endorsement guides. Where it's natural to do so, we also visually mark affiliate links with a small ↗ symbol, and every article that contains affiliate links includes a disclosure box near the top.

Programs we participate in

We participate in standard affiliate programs offered by tools we use ourselves — including major newsletter platforms, course platforms, web hosts, AI subscription tools, and a few software-as-a-service products commonly used by side-hustlers. The list of programs evolves as platforms change. We do not participate in MLM programs, payday-loan affiliate programs, or any program that requires us to misrepresent the product to readers.

What this means for you

Using one of our affiliate links is a way to support the archive at no cost to you. You always have the option of going to a tool's site directly without using our link — we won't think any less of you, and our recommendation isn't conditional on you clicking through our link. If a tool or platform we recommend isn't right for you, please don't sign up just to support us. We'd rather have a small audience that trusts us than a large one that doesn't.

Amazon Associates

The Hustle Archive 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.
