Hey there—Jessica here! I want to be up-front with you about how things work behind the scenes at The 104 Homestead, especially when it comes to affiliate links and advertising.
Running this site takes time, tools, and (let’s be honest) more coffee than I’d like to admit. To help support the blog and keep as much content free as possible, I sometimes partner with brands and companies through affiliate programs or sponsorships.
What does that mean?
Some of the links you’ll find on this site are affiliate links, which means I may earn a small commission (at no extra cost to you!) if you choose to purchase through those links. That income helps cover things like web hosting, chicken feed, and keeping my coffee pot full—so thank you for supporting the blog!
I only recommend products or services I truly believe in—things I use myself, trust, or think will make your homesteading journey easier. If I don’t love it, I don’t link it. Simple as that.
Sponsored Content
Occasionally, I may work with a brand to create sponsored content. If that’s the case, I’ll clearly disclose it at the top of the post. Just like with affiliate links, sponsored posts are written by me, in my voice, with my honest opinions. I’m not here to sell you something just for the sake of it—that’s not how I roll.
Advertising
This site also includes ads served by third-party networks (like Raptive). These ads help keep the site up and running, and while I don’t handpick every ad that shows up, I do my best to make sure they align with the values of The 104 Homestead. Ads will always be clearly marked.
Amazon Affiliate Program
The 104 Homestead is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a way for sites like mine to earn fees by linking to Amazon.com. As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.
My goal is to help you live a more intentional, self-sufficient life—without the fluff or the pressure to buy a bunch of stuff. I value your trust, and I’ll always do my best to keep things transparent and helpful.
If you have any questions about a product I’ve recommended or a partnership I’ve mentioned, feel free to reach out:
