Some sites use irrelevant ads and annoying popups to make money. We hate those things as much as you do, but we also need to pay the bills.
Instead, Coinsurgent uses affiliate links on some pages to help pay for server expenses and the cost of creating new content helpful to the growing Bitcoin and proof-of-work community.
What Are Affiliate Links, Anyway?
An affiliate link is a link to a product or service on another website that may pay a commission if you make a purchase.
For example, if you read a review about a cold wallet and click through an affiliate link in the review, Coinsurgent may earn a small commission on the purchase you make. However, not all links on the website are affiliate links. Many aren’t.
Coinsurgent is not the seller if you make a purchase. Instead, Coinsurgent.com simply provides a direct link, often accompanied by some additional information, a review or comparison, or first impressions of a product.
Okay, Do Affiliate Links Increase My Cost?
Not at all. Affiliate links do not change the price of products or services and there’s no cost to you. You’ll see the same price if you go directly to the merchant website without using an affiliate link. There’s one possible exception, though: coupon codes.
In some cases, merchants provide Coinsurgent with exclusive coupon codes that can reduce your purchase price. Yay.
The process to redeem coupon codes is usually to add the code at checkout.
Amazon Affiliate Links
As an Amazon Associate, Coinsurgent earns a commission from qualifying purchases.
Coinsurgent.com uses Amazon affiliate links as well as links to other merchants throughout the site as a way to keep your experience ad-free.
Product Reviews and Roundups
If you’ve ever researched cryptocurrency products, you know how challenging it can be to find all the information you need. Often, it’s difficult to cut through all the marketing jargon to find simple information, such as the real-world pros and cons of a product. Without enough information, it’s easy to purchase a product that’s not a perfect fit for your needs.
Coinsurgent provides easy-to-read reviews and in-depth information backed up by real-world experience and research.
You won’t find any sponsored posts, and in cases where Coinsurgent.com receives a demo product to evaluate, you can always expect unbiased reviews.
About Coinsurgent.com
The goal of Coinsurgent.com is to provide a reliable resource for information about Bitcoin, Monero, and similar proof-of-work cryptocurrencies, offering new (or seasoned) HODLers a better understanding of BTC-related tools and services before making a buying decision.
My name is Eric, and I write the articles on Coinsurgent.com.
By trade, I work as a freelance writer. Coinsurgent.com is largely a labor of love.
As a writer, I always take the role of consumer advocate rather than a marketer, pointing out the potential benefits of a product or service as well as possible pitfalls. I’ll tell you what’s good, as well as what could be better.
In short, I write the type of articles I want to read as a consumer myself.
Thanks for reading. I hope you find Coinsurgent.com helpful.
