Affiliate Disclosure
The Concise Version of Affiliate Disclosure
At Bangladesh Country we enjoy evaluating products to assist you in discovering ones that can enhance your life. However, the process of creating video and written reviews is time-consuming, and we have financial obligations to meet.
Here’s the arrangement: Occasionally, if you click on a link in our article and make a purchase from the company’s website, we may earn a commission.
Affiliate links are a type of link that allows us to earn a commission by promoting a product. The affiliate link contains a unique identifier that tracks the clicks from the link.
It’s essential to note that not every link on this website is designed to generate income for us. Links leading to journal articles, news websites, medical information websites, and government organizations, for instance, are not set up to earn us a commission.
Crucially, when reading an article where we discuss a specific product or compare different options, it’s reasonable to assume that we could receive a financial commission if you choose to purchase the product through the provided link.
If you ever encounter a link and are uncertain whether it’s an affiliate link, it’s prudent to err on the side of caution and assume it might result in us earning a commission if you make a purchase.

The Longer Version of Affiliate Disclosure
Why I use affiliate links and adverts
One primary method of generating income through a blog is by incorporating advertisements. These are the types of ads that certain websites still prominently display on their sidebars and headers or, at times, unexpectedly pop up.
We have the flexibility to select & endorse advertisements. In the context of affiliate marketing, we choose to establish affiliate links with companies that grant permission and where we deem it suitable to do so.
We don’t accept upfront financial payment
Occasionally, companies inquire about compensation for conducting reviews. We consistently decline monetary offers. However, we may agree to receive a demo product for evaluation. Nevertheless, in the majority of instances, we personally purchase the products that we review.
How affiliate commissions work
- Each company adopts a distinct approach to establishing affiliate links and determining commissions.
- We consistently possess prior knowledge of the potential commission we may earn when you purchase a particular product. However, we do not control the commission rate, which can range from as low as 0.5% to as high as 20%.
- The links we utilize contain a unique tracking code associated with me. This ensures that the company recognizes and compensates me with a commission when you make a purchase after clicking on my link.
- If you prefer not to contribute to my commission earnings, you have the option to manually search for the company’s name or product through a search engine or by typing the company’s website address directly into your browser.
- While we are appreciative of readers who use my affiliate links, we understand if you choose to bypass the affiliate aspect.
- Various companies manage their affiliate programs differently—some incorporate an in-house affiliate management system, while others employ third-party platforms like Shareasale, Impact Radius, or Partnerize. Occasionally, you might see a quick hop through another site before arriving at the company’s official page.
- Over time, we accumulate commissions from a company, and once we reach a specified payout threshold, we receive a payout. Subsequently, we are required to declare these earnings and fulfill tax obligations, similar to a regular job.

How We refrain from endorsing products solely based on their commission rates
The presence of affiliate commissions naturally tempts one to seek out products with the highest commission rates and praise them lavishly!
On a personal level, we actively resist succumbing to this temptation because our commitment lies in assisting readers rather than maximizing earnings.
Additionally, we dedicate considerable time to creating content, including videos and articles, about products that offer relatively small commissions. While cumulative earnings matter, our focus is not solely on expensive products.
It is equally important to us to discuss products that personally interest us and that we are comfortable using in our home. This decision is grounded in necessity and genuine curiosity rather than influenced solely by price considerations.
