Affiliate Disclosure
Clear money talk builds trust — including how this site may earn when you use certain links.
Make Money Optimizer (makemoneyoptimizer.com) participates in affiliate marketing programs. That means we may earn a commission if you click a link on this site and later buy a product or sign up for a service. This does not cost you extra when it happens.
Federal Trade Commission / advertising honesty
We aim to follow common advertising disclosure practices used in Canada and elsewhere: if a link or mention is compensated, we say so. Material connections between this site and recommended products or services will be disclosed.
How we use affiliate links
- We may label links or sections as affiliate / partner / sponsored where relevant.
- A short disclosure also appears in the site footer on every page.
- We do not invent earnings, screenshots of “results,” or guaranteed income claims to promote an offer.
- Editorial sections (who a hustle fits, costs, risks) stay educational; product mentions are secondary.
Types of partners we may work with
Partner lists change as applications are approved. Categories we may work with include:
- Ecommerce platforms — e.g. Shopify and related tools for online stores
- Marketplaces — e.g. Amazon.ca Associates for gear, books, and tools
- Canadian fintech / banking — e.g. KOHO and similar products for freelancers and side hustlers
- Creator & productivity software — design, writing, scheduling, hosting, email tools
- Education & business tools — courses or software only when they fit our trust bar
Individual program names will be added here as accounts are approved. If a specific article uses affiliate links, that article will also note it.
Amazon Associates
Make Money Optimizer is a participant in the Amazon Associates Program (Canada and/or other Amazon locales as approved). As an Amazon Associate, we may earn from qualifying purchases. Amazon and the Amazon logo are trademarks of Amazon.com, Inc. or its affiliates.
What this is not
Affiliate relationships are not endorsements of get-rich-quick schemes. We do not guarantee income, rankings, client results, or business outcomes. Your results depend on skills, local market, effort, timing, and factors outside anyone’s control. Content is for information only — not financial, tax, or legal advice.
Sponsorships & paid posts
If we ever publish paid or gifted content, it will be clearly labelled (for example “Sponsored” or “Paid partnership”). We reserve the right to decline offers that conflict with our audience’s trust.
