Ads, Affiliates, and sponsored content

It is my dream that one day I will be able to pay my rent with my blog. It’s a distant dream and I am at the very start of the journey, but every step is a step in the right direction. As a result, www.itsthespicybean.com contains ads through Google’s Adsense scheme, which grants me a few pennies each time a link that is part of the program is clicked.  This site also contains affiliate links from time to time. This means I get a small share of the sale if you click through from my site using an affiliate link and purchase the product or service using that link, 

I like to operate in a transparent way, in full compliance of the laws of the UK where I’m based as well as relevant EU and international law, and with the greatest respect for my readers. If I’m being paid, you guys should know. You should also know that I am picky – I will never share links to companies or products that I don’t believe in, and I will never offer a biased review in exchange for money. My blog is for pleasure first and foremost. Anything financial comes second.

All the opinions stated on this blog are my own, regardless of any affiliate links, paid opportunities, or advertising.

Posts containing affiliate links and sponsored content are clearly indicated by the statement “This post contains [affiliate links/sponsored content], for more info see the ‘legal stuff’ page“.
