Your Voice, Your News: Trusted Across Borders
We believe in keeping things transparent and reader-first here at SovereignBirdie.us. This page explains how we fund our blog through affiliate partnerships while staying true to our mission: delivering honest, engaging news across North America. Let’s dive in!
Sometimes, we recommend products or services (like a cool tech gadget or a helpful book) and include special links. If you buy something through these links, we might earn a small commission—at no extra cost to you. Think of it as a high-five for pointing you toward something awesome.
Example:
If we review the Motorola Edge 60 Stylus, our Amazon affiliate link helps us keep the lights on.
Running a blog isn’t free. Affiliate earnings help us:
🛠️ Pay for web hosting, research tools, and coffee (lots of coffee).
🌎 Keep our content free for readers in the USA, Canada, and beyond.
🔍 Stay independent: We never let commissions sway our reviews.
We only share products or services we’ve tested, trust, or believe could help you. No shady promotions. Ever.
Affiliate links are clearly marked with a * or disclaimer (like this: 🔗).
We follow guidelines from the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and Competition Bureau Canada.
If a product disappoints, we’ll tell you—even if it costs us a commission.
We partner with companies that align with our values, such as:
Amazon Associates (for tech gadgets and books).
Eco-friendly brands focused on North American sustainability.
Local Canadian startups (yes, we love supporting small businesses!).
Zero Extra Costs: Prices stay the same whether you use our links or not.
Better Content: Earnings let us dig deeper into stories (like investigating climate policies or testing new gadgets).
Win-Win: You get honest recommendations; we keep writing.
Q: Do affiliate links influence your reviews?
A: Nope! A bad product gets a bad review, period.
Q: Can I support you without buying anything?
A: Absolutely! Share our articles, tag us on [social media], or subscribe.
Q: How do I know if a link is affiliate?
A: Look for disclaimers like “🔗 Partner link” or footnotes.
