Transparency is a core Broke Mode value. Here's exactly how we make money and how that affects you.
What is an Affiliate Link?
An affiliate link is a special URL that tracks whether a purchase was referred from our site. When you click an affiliate link and make a purchase, we earn a small commission — at no extra cost to you. The price you pay is exactly the same whether you use our link or go directly to the retailer.
Our Affiliate Partners
- Amazon Associates — We participate in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program. Many links to Amazon products on this site are affiliate links.
- Other Programs — We may participate in other affiliate programs from time to time, which will be disclosed on relevant pages.
Our Promise to You
We only recommend products and services we genuinely believe provide value. Affiliate relationships do not influence editorial decisions. If something doesn't meet our broke-mode standard — functional, worth the price, and honest — we won't recommend it regardless of commission potential.
FTC Compliance
In accordance with FTC guidelines, we disclose material affiliate relationships on any page or post where affiliate links appear. The presence of affiliate links does not imply endorsement of any specific retailer or platform beyond what is stated.
Questions?
