MONETIZATION OF THIS SITE

We have purposely chosen NOT to monetize (1) this site and (2) our YouTube channel. WHY? We want our readers and users to have a pure, uninterrupted, ad-free experience. Personally, I think sites have gone overboard on their advertising. Instead of having an enormous amount of annoying ads,  we’ve made the decision to receive small referral fees from our trusted professional “AFFILIATE” referrals. 

HOW does this affect our referrals and the quality of services? We only refer the professionals we have used personally and/or have been referred to us, thoroughly vetted, and tested for consistency in pricing and in service. 

AND, this is also a business that requires an immense amount of time and financial investment. Therefore, as of today, we are now accepting referral fees, discounts, or free services from the majority of professional service providers “AFFILIATES” that we recommend. 

Rest assured if, at any time, we learn about or experience less than a stellar experience, we will terminate our relationship with that service provider “AFFILIATE” immediately.
