Affiliate marketing is a performance-based arrangement where a website (Trust The Space) promotes products and receives a commission when a reader makes a qualifying purchase through a tracked link. The commission is paid by the product vendor — it does not add any cost to your purchase.
Think of it like a referral fee: if you buy a product because you read about it here, the vendor pays us a small thank-you. You pay the same price whether you arrived through our link or went directly to their site.
We currently participate in the following affiliate programmes:
We may add or remove affiliate programmes at any time. This page will be updated to reflect active relationships.
We do not promote every product available to us as affiliates. Our process:
We have declined to promote products that we did not believe met our editorial standards, even when the commission rates were attractive.
We have structured our editorial process to separate content decisions from commercial decisions. Specifically:
We acknowledge that the existence of an affiliate relationship creates a financial incentive that readers should be aware of. That is why we disclose it prominently. Our goal is to earn your trust over time through accurate, balanced content — not to maximise short-term commission income.
On Trust The Space, affiliate links route through our own tracking domain (track.trustthe.space) before redirecting to the product vendor. This allows us to measure click data for our own advertising analytics. You can identify these links because:
Using our affiliate links does not affect your consumer rights in any way. If a product comes with a money-back guarantee, that guarantee applies regardless of how you arrived at the vendor's site. If you have a dispute with a vendor about a purchase, your rights are the same as any direct customer.
This disclosure is provided in compliance with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission's guidelines on endorsements and testimonials (16 CFR Part 255). The FTC requires that material connections between an endorser and a marketer be clearly disclosed. Our affiliate relationship with product vendors constitutes such a material connection, and this page — along with the notices on our individual articles — fulfils that disclosure requirement.
