Powerful Pinning exists because readers like you not only read, comment, and share, but click on our ads or buy products after clicking links on our site. Occasionally, we will review products on this blog. The products we review are ones we have personally bought and used or have been given to us by company for the purpose of the review. The views and opinions expressed in these reviews are always our own. Being given a product to review, or being paid to post about something will not influence the way we write about it.

Ways we make money on this site:

Affiliate Links – Some of the links on Powerful Pinning are affiliate links. When clicked they will take you to a site to learn more about and purchase products. Read more about our use of affiliate links below.
Ads – We accept payment for advertisements on our sidebar and in our newsletter. If you see banners and ads on this site they’re helping to pay our hosting, domain, and marketing costs.
