FTC Disclosure
Hey there! Thanks for stopping by my blog – I really appreciate you taking the time to read what I share here. Before we dive too deep, I want to take a moment to be completely transparent with you about something important: how I use affiliate links and why they matter.
On this blog, you’ll sometimes find links that lead to products, tools, or services I talk about. These are known as affiliate links, and when you click on one and make a purchase, I might earn a small commission. It doesn’t cost you anything extra – the price stays exactly the same – but it helps support the work I do here.
You can usually spot these links because they often contain “/go/” in the URL. So if you see something like rudiatmaja.com/go/nameofproduct, that’s one of my affiliate links. It’s my way of being open about how things work behind the scenes and making sure there are no surprises.
Now, you might be wondering why I even use affiliate links in the first place. The truth is, running a blog takes time, effort, and quite a bit of behind-the-scenes cost – from hosting and design to coffee that fuels late-night writing sessions. Those small commissions help cover those costs and allow me to keep this blog alive and growing.
I want you to know that I only recommend products and services that I genuinely believe in. I’ve either used them myself or done enough research to feel confident they’re worth sharing. If something doesn’t meet my standards or doesn’t align with what this blog stands for, it won’t make it onto these pages – affiliate link or not.
I understand that trust is a big deal online. That’s why I try to keep things as transparent as possible. If I’ve received a product for free or if a post is sponsored, I’ll clearly let you know. I never want you to feel misled or unsure about where I stand. My opinions will always be honest – even if a company wouldn’t love to hear them.
Affiliate marketing is a way for me to stay independent. It means I can spend more time creating genuine, helpful content instead of relying on intrusive ads or paywalls. When you choose to buy through one of my affiliate links, you’re directly helping me continue doing what I love: sharing useful insights, tips, and stories with you.
Think of it as buying me a cup of coffee – except that instead of caffeine, your support fuels the next tutorial, review, or guide I put together. Every little bit counts, and I honestly notice and appreciate every single click and purchase made through my links.
It’s also worth saying that I’ll never push you to buy something you don’t need. My goal is to give you honest recommendations and let you decide what’s best for you. If a link helps you find a great tool or product and also helps me keep this site running, that’s a win-win in my book.
I do a lot of testing and experimenting before I write about anything here. If I ever find that something I recommended no longer lives up to expectations, I’ll update my posts to reflect that. I want this blog to be a space where you can trust what you read, not a place filled with outdated or biased opinions.
If you ever have questions about a particular link, product, or partnership, please feel free to reach out to me. I’m always happy to clarify how something works or why I chose to promote it. Transparency isn’t just an FTC requirement to me – it’s part of how I want to run this blog.
At the end of the day, this space is built on honesty, trust, and shared curiosity. Your support means the world to me, and every time you decide to use one of my affiliate links, you’re helping me keep doing what I love – writing, sharing, and connecting with readers like you.
