In accordance with FTC guidelines, here's the deal.

Some of the links on EveryoneNeedsASamwise.com are affiliate links. When you click through and sign up for a paid plan on the linked service, I may earn a commission. This costs you nothing additional — you pay the same price you'd pay going to the service directly.

Why I use affiliate links

They help fund the property. Writing daily synthesis costs money — API calls, hosting, time. Affiliate revenue is one of three funding streams. The others are display ads and newsletter sponsorships. All three are designed to keep the newsletter free for readers forever.

My rule for affiliate placements

I only link tools I would recommend without the commission. If a tool is bad and pays a generous commission, I won't link it. If a tool is great and pays zero commission, I'll still recommend it.

Active affiliate partners

This list updates as I add programs:

• Anthropic
• Vercel
• Cursor
• ElevenLabs
• Beehiiv
• Notion
• Replit

When a recommendation contains an affiliate link, the article will note it inline with the phrase: "Affiliate link" near the recommendation.
