Affiliate Disclosure

Last Updated: June 13, 2026

CBEG GROUP, LLC operates HustlEdge.com as an informational content site covering side hustles, passive income, and ways to earn supplemental income. We believe in full transparency about how this Site generates revenue and how our affiliate relationships work. This page explains everything you need to know.

1. What Is an Affiliate Link?

An affiliate link is a specially tracked URL that attributes a visitor to a specific referring website - in this case, HustlEdge.com. When you click an affiliate link on our Site and then complete a qualifying action on the destination platform (such as creating an account, starting a trial, or making a purchase), the partner may pay HustlEdge a referral commission or fee.

Key points to understand:

• Your cost is never affected. Affiliate commissions are paid to us by the partner - they do not increase what you pay.
• You are under no obligation. Clicking a link does not commit you to anything. You are free to visit our linked partners and decide independently whether to sign up.
• Tracking is done via cookies. After you click an affiliate link, a tracking cookie may be placed in your browser by the partner's platform to record the referral. This cookie has no effect on your device or browsing outside of referral attribution.

2. How HustlEdge Makes Money

HustlEdge.com generates revenue primarily through affiliate marketing. We may receive compensation in the following forms:

• Cost Per Acquisition (CPA) - a one-time payment when a referred user completes a qualifying action (e.g., signs up for or purchases a product or service).
• Revenue Share - an ongoing percentage of revenue generated by referred users on a partner's platform.
• Hybrid Deals - a combination of CPA and revenue share.
• Flat-Rate Referral Fees - a fixed fee for referring users to certain products or services.

We do not currently run paid display advertisements as our primary revenue model, though this may change in the future. Any such change will be reflected in an updated version of this disclosure.

3. Our Affiliate Relationships

We maintain affiliate relationships with companies whose products and services are relevant to our audience of side hustlers and passive-income seekers. These relationships are arranged directly or through affiliate networks (such as Impact, Awin, ShareASale, and CJ). Our partners fall into categories including:

• E-commerce and online store platforms (for example, tools for selling products online).
• Print-on-demand and creator tools (for example, design, publishing, and digital-product platforms).
• Freelance and gig marketplaces.
• Financial and bookkeeping tools for the self-employed and side hustlers.
• Software, hosting, and no-code platforms used to build income streams.

This list is not exhaustive and changes over time as relationships are added or removed. Specific partners are disclosed on the individual pages where they are recommended.

4. How ThirstyAffiliates (/recommends/) Links Work

We manage our affiliate links using a WordPress plugin called ThirstyAffiliates. This tool lets us organize and update affiliate links in one place rather than editing every individual post when a link changes.

How to identify a ThirstyAffiliates link:

• These links appear in the format: https://hustledge.com/recommends/[partner-name]
• The /recommends/ segment in the URL indicates the link is an affiliate redirect managed by ThirstyAffiliates.

When you click a /recommends/ link, the following happens:

1. Our server logs the click (we track click volume and referring page for internal analytics).
2. You are immediately redirected to the affiliate URL of the third-party partner.
3. The partner's tracking system records the referral via a cookie or URL parameter.

We do not share your personal data with affiliate partners through this link-click mechanism - only aggregate click statistics are tracked on our end.

5. Editorial Independence

We take our editorial integrity seriously. Our affiliate relationships do not dictate the content, tone, ratings, or recommendations we publish. Specifically:

• We are not paid to write positive reviews. Our content reflects our genuine research and assessment of each product or platform.
• We may include products we are not affiliated with. If something offers legitimate value to our readers, we may cover it even without a direct affiliate relationship.
• Commission rates do not influence rankings. The order in which we present products or platforms is based on our editorial judgment of factors like value, usability, and fit - not commission size.
• We update content when information changes. When pricing or terms change, we strive to update the relevant pages promptly. We still recommend verifying details directly with the provider.

If you ever feel our content appears biased or inaccurate, please contact us. We welcome feedback and are committed to improving our editorial standards.

6. FTC Compliance

In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's guidelines (16 C.F.R. Section 255), HustlEdge.com discloses its material connections to advertisers and affiliate partners. This page serves as our comprehensive site-wide disclosure. Individual pages and posts that contain affiliate links may also include brief inline disclosures (e.g., "This post contains affiliate links. We may earn a commission at no cost to you.").

We believe consumers have a right to know when a content creator has a financial interest in a product or service they recommend. Our goal is to provide genuinely useful information while being fully transparent about how we are compensated.

7. No Guarantee of Results

Content on HustlEdge.com discussing side hustles, passive income strategies, or tools represents informational guidance only. We make no guarantee that any strategy, platform, or product will result in income, profit, or financial gain for any individual. Results vary based on individual effort, market conditions, platform availability, and other factors outside our control.
