Hey there! Just a heads-up: this page is where I explain how affiliate links and brand partnerships work here on byRyanCharles — because transparency matters.

Affiliate Links: What They Are & Why I Use Them

Some of the links you’ll find on my blog are affiliate links. That means if you click through and make a purchase, I may earn a small commission — at no extra cost to you.

These links help me keep this site running (and coffee in my mug), while continuing to create helpful content around health, wellness, and longevity — all without cluttering the site with pop-up ads or irrelevant junk.

I only recommend products I’ve either used myself or genuinely believe will help you. If something’s not worth your time, I won’t promote it. Simple as that.

Amazon Affiliate Disclosure

byRyanCharles is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com.au and related Amazon properties.

“As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.”

That’s the legal version. But again — this never changes the price you pay.

Brand Partnerships & Sponsored Content

Occasionally, I collaborate with brands in the form of product reviews, mentions, or partnerships. When that happens, I’ll clearly let you know at the top of the post with a note like:

This post was created in collaboration with [Brand Name], who kindly gifted me this product. All opinions are my own.

I don’t accept partnerships that require a positive review. If it’s on my site, it’s because I actually stand behind it.

Transparency Is the Whole Point

Let’s be real — the wellness space is full of hype, conflicting advice, and shady links. That’s not the vibe here.

If you’re trusting me with your time and attention, the least I can do is keep it honest. I’m not here to sell you stuff you don’t need — I’m here to guide, simplify, and hopefully add value to your journey.

Quick Disclosure for Blog Posts

You’ll see a mini disclosure at the top of certain blog posts that looks like this:

Disclosure: This post may contain affiliate links. As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases — at no extra cost to you.

This ensures everything’s up front and above board, in line with the Australian Consumer Law, ACCC guidelines, and FTC requirements.
