Affiliate Disclosure
As the owner of Tell the Trees, I believe in complete transparency about how I earn income from this site. This page discloses my affiliate partnerships and what that means for you as a reader.
What Are Affiliate Links?
When you click on certain links on my website or Substack and make a purchase, I may earn a commission from that sale. In most cases, these affiliate links don’t cost you anything extra – the price remains the same whether you use my affiliate link or not. In some cases, you might actually get a better deal using my affiliate link, as companies sometimes offer special discounts to affiliate partners. When such discounts are available, I’ll make sure to mention it explicitly in my content. However, these commissions help support my work and allow me to continue providing valuable content.
