Affiliate Disclaimer

The purpose of this website is to be educational. There are a lot of ideas here, and there are also a lot of suggestions for tools, websites, and ways to kill it with your writing. Some of the links to these tools and websites are regular ol’ Plain Jane links. And some of these links are links that, if you click them and purchase, I might get a commission in exchange—because companies are cool like that these days, you know? In the meantime, I’m only recommending things that I think are great tools, and not because of any kickbacks. That’s just cherry-on-top bonus money for my Australia fund. Because everyone should have an Australia fund.
