Affiliate Disclosure

Affiliate Marketing Disclosure

HomeResilienceHub participates in affiliate marketing programs and may earn commissions from purchases made through links on our website. This disclosure explains our affiliate relationships and how they work.

Affiliate links are special tracking links that allow us to earn a commission when you purchase products through them. When you click an affiliate link and make a purchase, the merchant pays us a small percentage of the sale at no additional cost to you.

Our Affiliate Relationships

We participate in affiliate programs with various companies, including but not limited to:

Amazon Associates Program

We are a participant in the 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.

Direct Affiliate Programs

We also maintain direct affiliate relationships with manufacturers and retailers in the preparedness and home resilience space, including:

  • Solar and battery manufacturers
  • Emergency food suppliers
  • Water filtration companies
  • Home security providers
  • Outdoor and survival gear companies

Identification

We clearly identify affiliate content through:

  • Disclosure statements at the beginning of relevant articles
  • Visual indicators on affiliate links where possible
  • Clear labeling of sponsored or affiliate content
  • Transparency about our affiliate relationships

Editorial Independence

Our affiliate relationships do not compromise our editorial integrity:

  • Honest Reviews: We provide honest, unbiased reviews regardless of commission rates
  • Negative Reviews: We publish negative reviews when products don’t meet our standards
  • No Pay-for-Play: We never accept payment for positive reviews or rankings
  • Reader-First: Our recommendations prioritize reader value over commission potential

Our Review Process

Testing and Research

Before recommending any product, we:

  • Research specifications, features, and user feedback
  • Test products personally whenever possible
  • Compare options across different price ranges
  • Evaluate long-term reliability and customer support

Recommendation Criteria

Our recommendations are based on:

  • Performance: How well the product performs its intended function
  • Value: The balance of features, quality, and price
  • Reliability: Long-term durability and manufacturer support
  • User Experience: Ease of use, installation, and maintenance
  • Safety: Compliance with relevant safety standards

Commission Structure

How Commissions Work

  • Commissions are paid by merchants, not by you
  • Commission rates vary by product and merchant
  • Higher commissions do not influence our recommendations
  • We may earn different rates for different products from the same merchant

No Additional Cost

Using our affiliate links never costs you more than purchasing directly. In many cases, we negotiate exclusive discounts that save you money.
