Affiliate disclosure.

Plainly: some links on this site earn us money. Here is how that works and what it does not change.

Last updated November 6, 2026

The short version

Optimized Mornings is reader-supported. When you buy something through some of the links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. You pay the same price either way. These commissions help pay for the research and testing behind our articles.

Which links are affiliate links

Links to retailers and brands that run through optimizedmornings.com/go/, and “Check price” buttons, are affiliate links. Articles that contain them show a disclosure at the top. Affiliate links are marked withrel="sponsored" so search engines can identify them. Retailers and affiliate networks may set cookies when you click one; our privacy policy explains how.

Amazon Associates

Optimized Mornings is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com. As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases.

Other affiliate programs

We also work with other affiliate networks and directly with some brands. The same rules apply to all of them.

What commissions do not change

  • Brands cannot pay for inclusion, a better position, or a better verdict.
  • We recommend products without affiliate programs when they are the better choice, including free options.
  • Commission rates are not considered when we rank products.
  • Brands do not see or approve articles before publication.

Our full process is on how we review.

Sponsored content

We do not currently publish sponsored articles. If that ever changes, sponsored content will be clearly labelled as such at the top of the page, in line with the US Federal Trade Commission’s Endorsement Guides.
