Affiliate Disclosure

Last updated: 2026-06-06

AimActok.com contains affiliate links. This page explains what that means and how it affects the content you read on this site.

What Are Affiliate Links?

Affiliate links are tracking URLs provided by companies (like Systeme.io, beehiiv, or hosting providers). When you click an affiliate link on AimActok and make a purchase, the company pays me a small commission at no extra cost to you.

The commission comes from the company’s marketing budget, not from your purchase price. You pay exactly what you would pay if you visited the site directly.

How This Affects Reviews

Affiliate relationships do not influence my reviews. Here’s exactly how I work:

  1. I buy the tools I review. Every AI tool I write about was purchased with my own money (or I’m using a free trial that I would have paid for). No company sends me a “review unit” or sponsored access that gets special treatment.
  2. I write the review first, find the affiliate link second. If a tool has an affiliate program, I add the link. If it doesn’t, I just link to the official site. I never let the presence (or absence) of an affiliate program affect whether I recommend a tool.
  3. Affiliate links are clearly marked. Every article that includes an affiliate link ends with a disclosure paragraph. You’ll see “this article contains affiliate links” or similar at the end.
  4. I include affiliate links for tools I would recommend anyway. If I find a great tool that doesn’t have an affiliate program, I still recommend it. The recommendation is independent of the monetization.

Current Affiliate Programs

As of the last update on this page, AimActok participates in the following affiliate programs:

  • Systeme.io — All-in-one marketing platform. I use it to run this site’s email and sales funnels.
  • beehiiv — Newsletter platform. I’ll be using this for the AimActok newsletter.
  • Hosting providers — When I recommend a VPS provider in a deployment guide, the link is usually an affiliate link.

Pending applications (not yet active):

  • Writesonic
  • PartnerStack network

What Is NOT Affected

To be clear about what I don’t do:

  • I do not write paid reviews where the company chooses the verdict.
  • I do not accept “placement fees” to put a tool at the top of a list.
  • I do not change a review after publication to make a tool look better than it was.
  • I do not share customer data or affiliate earnings publicly.

Questions?
