Affiliate Policy
DIY Revolutions participates in various affiliate marketing programs across multiple networks. When you click certain links on our website, YouTube channel, or associated content and make a purchase or complete an action — we may earn a commission. This is at no extra cost to you. We are fully transparent about every affiliate relationship we maintain.
What Is Affiliate Marketing?
Affiliate marketing is a performance-based model where content creators like us earn a commission by promoting products or services. When you click a tracking link on our platform and complete a qualifying action — a purchase, sign-up, or subscription — the company pays us a percentage or fixed fee.
This is one of the primary ways DIY Revolutions generates revenue to keep our content free. Your price is always the same whether or not you use our affiliate link. In fact, we sometimes share exclusive discount codes that save you money.
Why it matters: Affiliate commissions fund the tools, equipment, and time needed to test and create genuine DIY content — at zero additional cost to you.
Affiliate Networks & Programs We Use
We work with multiple affiliate networks — from physical product marketplaces to digital product platforms. Our partnerships are not restricted to one type or one network. Here is a full overview:
We link to products on Amazon.in and Amazon.com. As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases — tools, electronics, home goods, and DIY supplies.
We promote digital products — eBooks, online courses, software, and training programs — through ClickBank. All ClickBank promotions are clearly disclosed and evaluated for quality before recommendation.
A large affiliate network connecting us with brands across tools, home improvement, electronics, and lifestyle. Commission rates vary by merchant.
Commission Junction hosts many well-known brands. We may promote products in tools, electronics, and home improvement categories through CJ's marketplace.
Used for partnerships with larger premium brands across technology, home improvement, and lifestyle sectors.
We may participate in Flipkart Affiliate and other India-specific e-commerce programs for products and recommendations relevant to our Indian audience.
Some brands run their own affiliate programs independently. We may partner directly with tool manufacturers, electronics brands, or software companies outside major networks.
We may join additional affiliate programs over time. This policy covers all current and future affiliate relationships. Every new partnership follows the same transparency and quality standards.
General Rule: If any link on our website, YouTube description, or content could earn us a commission — we will always disclose it. No exceptions, no hidden relationships.
How We Identify & Label Affiliate Links
We use clear, consistent labeling across all platforms so you always know when a link may earn us a commission:
- Blog Articles: A disclosure notice at the top of every article with affiliate links — e.g., "This post contains affiliate links. We may earn a commission if you purchase through our links."
- YouTube Video Descriptions: A statement such as "Some links below are affiliate links. Using them supports the channel at no extra cost to you."
- In-Video Disclosure: Verbal disclosure during the video for sponsored or heavily affiliated content
- ClickBank Products: Clearly labeled as digital product promotions with commission disclosure
- Link Labels: Tags like (affiliate), [Ad], *, or #ad may appear next to specific links
- Social Media: Posts mentioning affiliate products use #ad, #affiliate, or #sponsored as required
- This Policy: Linked in the footer of every page on our website
Our Product Selection Standards
We do not promote every product that has an affiliate program. Our recommendations go through a consistent evaluation process whether the product is physical or digital:
- Relevance First: Must be relevant to DIY, tools, home improvement, electronics, or skills our audience wants
- Personal Testing (Physical): Physical products are tested personally whenever possible before recommendation
- Research-Backed (Digital): For ClickBank and other digital products — we evaluate content quality, creator credibility, refund policies, and user reviews
- Fair Refund Policy: We prefer digital products with a clear money-back guarantee (ClickBank standard: 60 days)
- Value Over Commission: Price-to-value ratio is our primary criterion — not commission rate
- Safety: We will not promote any product that poses safety risks or makes misleading claims
- No Income Exaggeration: We do not make unrealistic income or results claims for any product
We regularly decline affiliate offers — physical and digital. If a product doesn't genuinely benefit our audience, we won't promote it regardless of commission size.
Our 4 Core Promises to You
Every affiliate relationship — on any network — is clearly disclosed before you click. No hidden commissions, ever.
Using our affiliate links — from Amazon to ClickBank — never increases your price. The commission comes from the seller's margin.
Affiliate status does not influence our opinions. We give honest assessments — including negatives — for every product we cover.
You are never obligated to use our affiliate links. You can always go directly to the retailer, marketplace, or seller's website.
Special Note: Digital Products & ClickBank
Some promotions — particularly through ClickBank and similar platforms — involve digital products: online courses, eBooks, software, training programs, and subscriptions. For all digital product promotions we follow these additional standards:
- We evaluate the creator's credibility and track record before any promotion
- We only recommend digital products with a clear refund or money-back policy
- We do not make exaggerated income claims or promises of specific results
- Testimonials reflect individual results — individual results will always vary
- We clearly disclose that digital product promotions are commission-based
- If a product we have promoted is found to be low-quality, we remove it immediately
- Being listed on ClickBank alone does not constitute our endorsement — we evaluate each product independently
ClickBank is a legitimate global marketplace for digital products. Our participation in their affiliate program means we are subject to their Terms and Conditions as well as our own editorial standards.
FTC Compliance & Legal Basis
This policy is written in compliance with the U.S. FTC guidelines (16 CFR Part 255) on endorsements and testimonials, as well as applicable advertising transparency laws in India and other regions where our content is consumed.
- All material connections to affiliate programs are disclosed prominently and before the content — not hidden at the bottom
- We do not use deceptive practices to disguise affiliate links as organic recommendations
- YouTube: The "Contains Paid Promotion" feature is enabled in YouTube Studio for applicable videos
- Social posts use #ad, #affiliate, or #sponsored as required by platform and FTC rules
- Our disclosures apply across all channels: website, YouTube, Instagram, Pinterest, and any future platforms
