Simple version: What’s the deal?

  • Yes, Review Mind uses affiliate links.
  • Some links on this site are tracked and may earn a commission if you buy.
  • Yes, Review Mind earns money from some recommended products.
  • When you purchase through an affiliate link, the company pays Review Mind a percentage (typically between 5% and 50%, depending on the product and program).
  • No, you do not pay anything extra because of the affiliate link; the commission comes from the company’s marketing budget, not from your pocket.

How affiliate links actually work

An affiliate link is a special URL that tells a company which website referred a customer.

Example

Scenario 1 – You buy directly:

  • You visit the company’s official website on your own.
  • You buy a software plan for, say, $99.
  • The company keeps the full revenue (minus its own costs).
  • Review Mind earns nothing from this purchase.

Scenario 2 – You buy through Review Mind’s affiliate link:

  • You click a link or button on Review Mind.
  • You are redirected to the same official website.
  • You buy the same plan for $99 (same price you would pay anyway).
  • The company keeps its revenue and pays Review Mind a commission (for example $10–$30, depending on the program).
  • You still pay only $99; there is no extra charge.

Companies offer this because they prefer to share a part of their marketing budget with affiliates who send real customers instead of spending the same money on ads that may or may not work.
