How We Make Money
Paintballer earns revenue through affiliate commissions and, occasionally, advertising partnerships. I want to be upfront about how that works.
Affiliate Programs
We participate in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program and other affiliate programs. When you click a product link on Paintballer and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you.
Here’s the important part: affiliate commissions never influence our recommendations. I’ve recommended products with lower commissions over higher-commission alternatives plenty of times because the product was simply better. I’ve also written negative reviews of products that would have earned us money if I’d given them a pass. That’s not how I run this site.
Every product recommendation on Paintballer is based on hands-on experience, research, and honest assessment. If I wouldn’t use it myself or recommend it to a friend, it doesn’t make the list. Read more about our process on our Editorial Standards page.
Advertising
In rare cases, we may partner with brands for sponsored content. Any sponsored content will always be clearly labeled. We’ll never disguise an ad as editorial content, and we reserve the right to reject any partnership that doesn’t align with our standards.
Product Links
Throughout our articles, you’ll see links to products on Amazon and other retailers. These are affiliate links. If a product link ever stops working or you find a better deal elsewhere, let us know.
Questions?
If you have any questions about our business model or how we earn revenue, feel free to reach out. I’m happy to be transparent about anything.
