Some guides on Motivation Facts may link to books, apps, courses or other products sold by other companies. When you buy through one of those links, Motivation Facts may earn a commission, and the price you pay stays the same. This page explains how those links work and how to recognize them.
The short version
If a link in a guide is an affiliate link, a note beside it says so. A commission never changes the price you pay. Most guides have no product links at all.
How do affiliate links work?
An affiliate link is a web address that tells a store a reader arrived from our page. If that reader then makes a qualifying purchase, the store may pay Motivation Facts a small commission. You are not charged anything extra.
Where will you see them?
The disclosure sits near the link, in the guide where the link appears, so you can see it before you click. This page is the longer explanation; it does not replace the note beside the link. The US Federal Trade Commission's guidance on endorsements and affiliate links asks for disclosures to be clear and close to the recommendation, and that is how they appear here.
How does a product end up in a guide?
A product is mentioned when it helps with the task the guide is about, such as a planner for a goal-setting guide or a book on a subject the guide covers. The guide says who the product suits, what it does and its limits. A guide only calls a product read, used or tested when that is true, and a commission is never the reason a product is included.
Does every guide have affiliate links?
No. Most guides explain something, give examples and suggest a next step without linking to anything you can buy. Where there is a free option that does the job, the guide says so.
