Affiliate Policy

What is affiliate marketing?

You can read a detailed explanation of what affiliate marketing is on Wikipedia.

In simple terms, retiringrichie.com earns a commission from referring visitors to products, software, and services using affiliate partnerships.

This is our affiliate disclaimer, in compliance with the Federal Trade Commission’s guide (FTC), and to avoid any misunderstanding among visitors of our website.

How do affiliate partnerships work?

The information shared on this website is provided in order to help you, the reader. That is the primary purpose.

However, we also think it’s OK if we receive some form of compensation from product providers in return for our time and effort.

This compensation takes the form of a commission if you decide to buy any of the products, software or services we refer to and promote on our website.

This commission will never be at any extra cost to you.  

And the opinions expressed on the website will always be our own with the aim of providing useful information to you.

If you do make a purchase using an affiliate product link – Thank you, it is very much appreciated!  However, if you’d prefer to go via another route that’s fine too – we won’t hold it against you!

You should assume that every external link you click on our website is an affiliate link that leads to us being paid by a partner of ours.

In addition to the disclosure above we will add conspicuous reminders at the top of each page that contains links. Something like this:
