You'll notice advertisement banners on GearGuide.Co (if you're not blocking them). These hardly cover any costs, but every cent helps.
Most GearGuide.Co articles contain affiliate links, including links from the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising programme designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to amazon.com, amazon.co.uk, amazon.ca, endless.com, smallparts.com, myhabit.com, and other websites affiliated with Amazon Service LLC Associates Program.
If you click on an affiliate link, it uses tracking code that enables me to earn a small commission on the product you buy through Amazon.
Buying through an affiliate link does not push up your price, but it does allow me to nick a few pennies from the seller (legally).
Curating content and writing articles take a lot of time. There's plenty of behind-the-curtain work going on too.
It's a full-time job.
And if I'm to keep serving interesting articles, I need to eat food and drink coffee. My family too.
