Affiliate Disclosure

Last updated: August 20, 2026

Some links on this site earn me money. Here is exactly which ones, and what that does and doesn't change.

The rule I hold myself to: a tool gets recommended here because it earned its place in real work, or it doesn't get recommended. Where I haven't put a tool through real work, I say so in the article itself rather than hiding behind a generic disclosure page.

Programs I'm currently part of

CompanyWhat it isStatus
ElevenLabsAI voice generationActive — and used in production on my own videos
BlotatoSocial media schedulerActive — and the tool I schedule all four of my brands with daily
NordVPNVPNActive
FirecrawlWeb scraping / agentic browser for AIActive — evaluated in full; I say in the article why it isn't my own daily driver
MuleRunAI agent marketplaceActive — market analysis only; I haven't run agents on it myself, as stated in the article
WegicAI website builderActive — links live in the builders comparison; I haven't shipped a production site on it and the credit-model criticism stands
Appy PieNo-code app builderActive — links live in the no-code comparison, which documents the billing complaints unchanged
10WebAI WordPress builder and hostingActive — market analysis only; I haven't used it, as stated in the article
SintraAI assistants for small businessActive — market analysis only; I haven't used it, as stated in the article
ThunderbitNo-code AI web scraperActive — and I'm also a Firecrawl affiliate, which is why the head-to-head states both relationships plainly; I haven't used Thunderbit itself
PopAiAI document and presentation suiteActive — separate program from AI Sheets; the only tracked link in the category comparison, where every rival is linked plainly
getimg.aiAI image generation studio and APIActive — market and pricing analysis only; I generate images on a different provider and haven't used getimg.ai itself, as stated in the article
CREAO AIAI agent platform (chat to finished work)Active — market analysis only; I haven't run it myself, as stated in the article
EmergentAgentic app builder (prompt to application)Active — market analysis only; I haven't built an app on it myself, as stated in the article
PopAi AI SheetsAI spreadsheet and data processingActive — market analysis only; I haven't used it myself, as stated in the article
Z.ai (GLM models)Open-weight model family and APIActive — pricing and capability read only; I haven't run these models in production, as stated in the article
MagicLightAI story-video generatorActive — and I actually used it on real projects; the review covers where it goes generic and the free-tier way to test it first
PrintifyPrint on demandActive, but unused — outside what this site covers
Wispr FlowAI voice dictationActive — but I no longer have it installed. The follow-up article says exactly why, and what that does and doesn't take away from the original review
Amazon AssociatesAmazon product linksActive — used for hardware I actually own and for my own books; this site carries no other Amazon product recommendations
Claude referralGuest-pass invite link (free week of Claude Pro)Active — I receive usage credits if an invitee later subscribes; passes are limited (3) and every link carries an inline disclosure

Things I sell myself

Separate from affiliate links, some articles reference products I own outright — I earn the full price, not a commission. They are marked as mine in the article, every time:

ProductWhat it isHow I earn
Aurora PlannerPrintable planner pack (Gumroad)My own product — full sale price. It's the subject of the build log, and the method in that post is free to copy
The Claude Setup GuideGuide + templates for Claude memory setup (Gumroad, English & Arabic editions)My own product — full sale price. The complete method is published free in the article that references it
My paperback titlesBooks published through Amazon KDPAuthor royalty and affiliate commission on the same link — stated in the article that references them

This list is kept current. If a partnership starts or ends, it changes here.

What it doesn't buy

Why run affiliate links at all

This site has no ads, no paywall, no sponsored posts, and no newsletter list rented to anyone. Affiliate commissions are what let it stay that way. If you'd rather not contribute, use a plain search instead of the link — the writing is the same either way, and I'd rather you trust it.
