Transparency is part of how we operate. Here's exactly how this site works.
When you click a product link on this site and make a purchase on Amazon, we may earn a small commission — at absolutely no additional cost to you. You pay the same price you would pay if you went directly to Amazon. We simply receive a small percentage of the sale as a referral fee.
These commissions are what allow us to keep this site running, continue researching and reviewing American-made products, and fund the long-form films we make documenting the people and manufacturers behind them. If you've found something useful here, clicking through and purchasing is one of the best ways to support what we do.
Every product on this site is here because we genuinely believe it's worth buying — not because of a commission rate. Our editorial decisions are independent of our affiliate relationships. We would never recommend a product we wouldn't use ourselves, and we would never recommend against a product because we don't have an affiliate link for it.
The affiliate relationship does not influence which products make the list, how they are described, or what we say about them. Our credibility depends on your trust, and we take that seriously.
In accordance with the Amazon Associates Program Operating Agreement and the Federal Trade Commission's guidelines on endorsements and testimonials, we are required to disclose that this site participates in affiliate marketing programs.
Specifically: This Is American Made is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program. As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases made through links on this site. Amazon and the Amazon logo are trademarks of Amazon.com, Inc. or its affiliates.
This disclosure applies to all product links and recommendations across every page of this site, including the homepage, individual product pages, and any other content where affiliate links may appear.
If you have any questions about how this site operates, our affiliate relationships, or anything else, you can reach us through the contact information listed on this site. We're happy to be transparent about how everything works.
