How HappierFit Makes Money
HappierFit is reader-supported. We don’t sell user data. We don’t take corporate sponsorships that compromise editorial. Here’s exactly how we keep the lights on, in plain terms.
Affiliate partnerships
When we recommend a product or service — therapy platforms, supplements, sleep tools, books, productivity apps — many of those recommendations include affiliate tracking links. If you click through and decide to purchase or sign up, the company pays us a small commission. The price you pay is the same whether you go through our link or directly to the company.
Current affiliate relationships (this list is updated as new partnerships go live):
- Online Therapy — pending approval. CBT-structured online therapy program.
- Talkspace — pending approval (via FlexOffers). Licensed therapy by text/voice/video.
- Panic Away — anxiety/panic intervention program.
- Amazon Associates — books, supplements, and devices we mention.
Display advertising
We use Google AdSense to show display ads on some articles. AdSense uses cookies to personalize the ads you see based on your browsing history. You can manage your ad preferences at Google’s Ad Settings page.
Direct revenue
We sell our own digital products — currently the Emotional Fitness Playbook (a 60-page deep-dive PDF) — directly through this site via Stripe. No middleman, no upsell traps. If you buy this you get the file; that’s the entire transaction.
What we will NOT do
- We will not promote a product we haven’t reviewed personally.
- We will not write content with sponsor approval. Sponsors don’t see articles before publication.
- We will not recommend “miracle cure” anxiety or depression products from low-quality affiliate networks. We’ve turned away offers in this space.
- We will not use scarcity, fake countdowns, or “limited time” pressure tactics in our copy.
How we choose what to recommend
Every product or service we link to has been (a) personally evaluated by a team member, or (b) backed by clinical research or peer-reviewed evidence we cite in the article. The bar is intentionally high. Most products we evaluate never appear on this site.
Conflict of interest
If a product we previously recommended changes hands, gets new ownership, or fails to maintain its quality, we will remove the affiliate link and update the article. Notify us at [email protected] if you believe a recommendation no longer fits our standards.
FTC compliance
This page exists to comply with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission’s Endorsement Guides. Affiliate links throughout the site are also marked with the rel="sponsored" attribute as required.
