Affiliate Disclosure
Last updated: July 1, 2026
The short version: some links on this site earn us a commission when you buy through them. You never pay more — frequently less, through negotiated perks. Recommendations are made before partnerships are signed, never the other way around.
How we earn
Side Hustle Lab is funded in two ways: sales of our own digital products (playbooks, templates, prompt stacks) and affiliate commissions from tools we recommend. When a link or product on this site is an affiliate arrangement, it is labelled "Affiliate Partner" at the point of the link — not only here in the fine print. Items labelled "Curated Tool" earn us nothing.
Our testing standard
Every tool listed on this site has been used inside at least one published blueprint for a minimum of 30 days. We do not accept paid placements, sponsored rankings, or "review for a fee" arrangements. If a partner's product degrades, we delist it — this has happened, and the delisted tool's write-up remains in our archive with a note explaining why.
FTC compliance
This disclosure is provided in accordance with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission's guidelines (16 CFR Part 255) concerning the use of endorsements and testimonials in advertising. Material connections between Side Hustle Lab and any product or service mentioned are disclosed on the page where the mention occurs.
Earnings disclaimer
Revenue figures shown in blueprints and the simulator are observed ranges, not promises. Your results depend on your skills, effort, market, and timing. Nothing on this site constitutes financial, legal, or tax advice. Treat every blueprint as a starting point for your own experiment — which is exactly what it was for us.
Questions
If you believe a recommendation on this site doesn't meet this standard, tell us at hello@sidehustlelab.co. We investigate every report and publish corrections where warranted.
