We believe in radical transparency. Here's exactly how our affiliate relationships work, what they mean for you, and how they influence (or don't influence) what we recommend.
An affiliate link is a special tracked URL that tells a company (like Amazon) that you arrived at their site through us. When you purchase something after clicking an affiliate link, we receive a small percentage of the sale price as a commission — typically between 1% and 10% depending on the program and product category.
The price you pay is exactly the same whether you use our affiliate link or go directly to the retailer's website. You're not paying more. We simply receive a small referral fee from the company, at no cost to you.
These commissions are how MyADHDTips keeps the lights on. They allow us to continue researching, writing, and maintaining this site without charging readers or accepting advertising that might compromise our editorial independence.
In compliance with the Federal Trade Commission's guidelines on endorsements and testimonials (16 C.F.R. Part 255), MyADHDTips discloses that this site participates in various affiliate marketing programs. We may earn commissions on purchases made through links to our partner sites.
This disclosure applies to all pages and articles on myadhdtips.com. When a specific article contains affiliate links, we also include a brief in-article disclosure note at the top of that content.
The short answer: they don't — at least not the way you might fear.
Here's our actual process when evaluating a product:
Affiliate availability is never a reason to recommend a product. We have recommended products with no affiliate program, and we have given negative reviews to products that do have affiliate programs. The commission is irrelevant to the recommendation.
We have turned down partnership requests from companies whose products we didn't believe in. We will continue to do so.
Below is a current list of affiliate programs MyADHDTips participates in. This list is updated periodically as we add or remove partnerships.
As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases. We use Amazon affiliate links for books, tools, headphones, planners, and other physical products we review or recommend. Commissions typically range from 1–8% depending on category.
We may earn a referral commission when readers sign up for BetterHelp through our links. We recommend BetterHelp because online therapy is genuinely more accessible for many people with ADHD — not because of the commission. We always note that it's not a replacement for an ADHD specialist or psychiatrist.
Several ADHD-focused apps we review have referral programs, including tools like Tiimo, Focusmate, and others. When we include referral links to apps, we disclose this in the article. App recommendations are based solely on our evaluation of how helpful they are for ADHD brains — not on referral payout rates.
We occasionally use Bookshop.org affiliate links as an alternative to Amazon for book recommendations. Bookshop.org supports independent bookstores, and we offer it as an option when available. Same price for you, similar commission for us, more money to local bookstores.
For headphone and electronics reviews, we may use affiliate links to retailers like Best Buy, B&H Photo, and manufacturer websites in addition to Amazon. These are noted in the specific review articles.
If you have questions about our affiliate relationships, want to know whether a specific article contains affiliate links, or have concerns about something you've seen on our site, please email us at hello@myadhdtips.com. We're genuinely happy to answer.
Our credibility with you is worth more than any affiliate commission. If we ever get it wrong, tell us.
