How We Earn Money
Honesty matters to us. Here's exactly how essentialoilstestgalore operates financially.
The Bottom Line
We earn commissions when you purchase products through links on our site. You pay nothing extra—these commissions come from retailers, not your pocket.
About Affiliate Marketing
Affiliate marketing is simple: websites recommend products, and retailers pay a small referral fee when those recommendations lead to sales. It's how many independent review sites sustain themselves without charging readers.
How It Works Here
- You read our content and find a product interesting
- You click our link to a retailer (usually Amazon)
- If you make a purchase, we receive a commission
- Your price remains exactly the same
Amazon Associates Participation
essentialoilstestgalore is a participant in 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.
This extends to Amazon's international sites (Amazon.co.uk, Amazon.ca, Amazon.de, and others).
Our Integrity Standards
| What We Do | What We Don't Do |
|---|---|
| Research products thoroughly | Accept payment for reviews |
| Share honest opinions | Let commissions influence ratings |
| Update outdated information | Hide product weaknesses |
| Recommend across price points | Only suggest expensive items |
Editorial Independence
Our recommendations come from genuine assessment, not financial incentive. We frequently recommend products that offer lower commissions—or no commissions at all—because they're simply better choices.
We ask ourselves: Would we recommend this to a friend? If not, it doesn't make our list.
Review Methodology
Every review involves:
- User Research: Analyzing feedback from actual buyers
- Competitive Analysis: Comparing against alternatives
- Value Evaluation: Assessing bang for buck
- Ongoing Monitoring: Updating as circumstances change
