Affiliate Disclaimer

Last Updated: 07-10-2026

I believe readers deserve to know exactly how this website works, especially when I recommend products that can be purchased online.

I’m Lukas Müller, an electrical engineer and technology reviewer based in Berlin. Through theinfojournal.world, I share my experiences and opinions about smart gadgets, e-bikes, technology, travel tools, and useful products for modern living.

Some of the links on this website are affiliate links. This means I may earn a small commission if you click one of my links and complete a qualifying purchase. There is no additional cost to you.

What Is an Affiliate Link?

An affiliate link is a special link that allows a retailer or affiliate network to recognize that a visitor came to their website from my content.

If you click an affiliate link on theinfojournal.world and later purchase an eligible product or service, I may receive a commission.

The important thing to understand is:

You do not pay extra because you used my affiliate link.
The price you see at the retailer is generally the same whether you use my link or visit the retailer directly.
Not every link on my website is an affiliate link.
Not every product mentioned in my articles generates income for me.

Affiliate commissions simply provide one way for me to support the work involved in researching, testing, writing, and maintaining this website.

Products I May Recommend

My affiliate content may cover products and services related to the topics I regularly write about, including:

Smart-home gadgets
Consumer electronics
Energy-saving technology
E-bikes and cycling accessories
Micro-mobility products
Travel equipment and useful travel tools
Wearable technology
Digital products and services
Other technology and lifestyle products

The presence of an affiliate link does not mean that I consider a product perfect or suitable for everyone.

My Commitment to Honest Reviews

Affiliate income does not determine my opinions.

As an electrical engineer and technology reviewer, I try to evaluate products from a practical and technical perspective. I want my reviews to help readers understand both what a product does well and where it may fall short.

When reviewing or recommending a product, I may consider factors such as:

Real-world usefulness
Build quality
Features and functionality
Ease of use
Performance
Reliability
Value for money
Limitations and potential drawbacks
Who the product is actually suitable for

If I believe a product has serious weaknesses, I will try to explain those weaknesses rather than hide them simply because an affiliate commission may be available.

I Do Not Sell Positive Reviews

I don’t accept the idea that a product should receive a positive review simply because it has an affiliate program.

My editorial opinions are my own.

Companies or retailers do not get to purchase a positive conclusion from me. An affiliate relationship does not give a brand control over what I say about its product.

I may recommend one product over another even when the second product offers a more attractive affiliate commission.

For me, long-term reader trust is more valuable than a single sale.

Why I Use Affiliate Links

Creating detailed technology and lifestyle content takes time and resources.

Running theinfojournal.world can involve expenses related to:

Website hosting
Software and digital tools
Research resources
Testing equipment
Product research
Photography and content production
Website maintenance
Time spent researching and writing articles

Affiliate commissions can help cover some of these costs and allow me to continue publishing useful content.

If you purchase something through one of my affiliate links, you are indirectly supporting the work behind the website, without paying an additional fee for that support.

Affiliate Links Do Not Influence My Recommendations

My recommendation process is not based simply on which products can generate the most commission.

I try to ask practical questions before recommending something:

Does the product actually solve a useful problem?
Is the quality reasonable for the price?
Are the advertised features genuinely useful?
What are the biggest limitations?
Who would benefit from using it?
Are there better alternatives worth considering?

If I cannot confidently recommend something, I would rather say so than promote it simply for financial benefit.

Transparency and E-E-A-T

Trust is an important part of the content I publish.

I aim to follow strong editorial principles based on experience, expertise, transparency, and accuracy. My electrical engineering background also influences how I approach technology-related topics and product evaluations.

That does not mean every review will be universally correct or that every reader will have the same experience.

Technology changes quickly, and individual results can vary depending on how a product is used, configured, maintained, or combined with other equipment.

My goal is to provide useful information and clearly distinguish personal opinions from factual product information whenever possible.

Your Purchase Decision Is Always Yours

My recommendations are intended to help you research a product, not pressure you into buying it.

Before purchasing an expensive or important product, I encourage you to:

Compare prices from different sellers.
Check the latest specifications.
Read current customer reviews.
Review the manufacturer’s information.
Check warranty and return policies.
Consider whether the product actually fits your needs.

Prices, availability, specifications, features, and retailer policies can change after an article is published.

For that reason, always verify important purchase information before completing an order.

Third-Party Brands and Services

Some articles may mention or link to companies, retailers, manufacturers, applications, or services operated by third parties.

I do not own or control those businesses unless clearly stated otherwise.

Their products, services, prices, policies, warranties, and terms are controlled by the respective companies.

You should review the relevant third party’s information before making a purchase or using a service.

Does Every Product Recommendation Have an Affiliate Link?

No.

I may mention, discuss, compare, or recommend products without receiving any financial compensation from the manufacturer, retailer, or service provider.

A quick note about affiliate links

I believe readers deserve to know how a website makes money, especially when product recommendations are involved.

I’m Lukas Müller, an electrical engineer, technology reviewer, and Berlin-based lifestyle blogger. On theinfojournal.world, I write about technology, smart-home devices, e-bikes, mobility, travel tools, and other products that I find genuinely useful or interesting.

Some of the links I share on this website are affiliate links. This means that if you click one of those links and decide to make a purchase, I may receive a small commission from the company or retailer.

The important part is this: the price you pay does not increase because you used my link.

How affiliate links work

Affiliate programs allow publishers like me to earn a commission when readers purchase products or services through specially tracked links.

For example, if I review a smart-home gadget and include an affiliate link to a retailer, you may choose to use that link if you decide the product is right for you. If you make a qualifying purchase, I may earn a commission.

You pay the same price you normally would, while the retailer or affiliate program provides a small commission to me.

Not every link on theinfojournal.world is an affiliate link, and not every product mentioned in an article has an affiliate relationship behind it.

My approach to recommendations

I don’t want affiliate commissions to determine what I recommend.

My reputation as a technology reviewer matters far more to me than a single commission.

When I review or recommend a product, I try to look beyond marketing claims and consider practical factors such as build quality, usability, reliability, value, real-world performance, limitations, and who the product is actually suitable for.

As someone with an electrical engineering background, I also enjoy looking at technology from a technical and practical perspective. I don’t expect every product to be perfect, and I don’t believe a useful review should pretend that it is.

If I think something has significant drawbacks, I will try to mention them clearly.

If I don’t think a product is worth the money, I won’t recommend it simply because an affiliate program could pay me.

My editorial independence

Affiliate relationships do not give companies the right to control my editorial opinions.

I do not sell positive reviews.

I do not change my conclusions simply because a product has a higher commission.

I also don’t believe a product becomes better simply because it has an affiliate program attached to it.

My goal is to give readers enough useful information to make their own decisions. Sometimes that means recommending a product. Sometimes it means pointing out a cheaper alternative. And sometimes it means saying that I don’t think a particular product is worth buying.

Why I disclose affiliate relationships

Transparency is important to me.

If a link can potentially generate a commission for me, I want readers to understand that before they decide whether to click it.

I believe an affiliate relationship does not automatically make a recommendation dishonest. The problem would be hiding that relationship or allowing financial incentives to replace genuine editorial judgment.

That’s why I prefer to be straightforward about it.

What affiliate income supports

Running a website involves costs such as hosting, software, research tools, equipment, testing products, photography, maintenance, and the time required to research and write articles.

Affiliate income can help support those activities and allow me to continue producing independent content on theinfojournal.world.

I don’t view affiliate income as payment for a positive opinion. I view it as one way readers can indirectly support the work if they choose to purchase something I have recommended.

Your purchase decision is always yours

An affiliate link is simply a convenient way to reach a product or service.

You should never feel pressured to buy something because I have recommended it.

Prices, specifications, availability, warranties, features, and product performance can change over time. I recommend checking the retailer or manufacturer’s current information before making an important purchase.

You are also free to search for the product yourself, compare prices, choose another retailer, or decide not to buy it at all.

That doesn’t change the value I place on your readership.

What I will always try to do

I will continue to approach product recommendations with the same principles I use when evaluating technology for myself:

Be honest about strengths and weaknesses.

Separate personal opinions from measurable facts where possible.

Avoid making claims I cannot reasonably support.

Consider value, not just marketing features.

Explain who a product may or may not be suitable for.

Keep affiliate relationships transparent.

Update information when important details change.

Most importantly, I want readers to be able to trust that a recommendation is based on the product itself—not simply on the possibility of earning a commission.
