Affiliate Disclosure

Effective Date: June 23, 2026. Last updated: June 23, 2026.

ThinkStreamTV participates in affiliate programs. This means that some links on this site are affiliate links — if you click a link and sign up or make a purchase, ThinkStreamTV may earn a commission at no additional cost to you.

This disclosure is provided in compliance with the United States Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines on endorsements and testimonials (16 C.F.R. Part 255) and applicable advertising standards in other jurisdictions.

What This Means for You

  • Affiliate commissions do not affect the price you pay — you pay the same whether or not you use our link.
  • We only recommend tools and services we have personally used, tested, or independently evaluated.
  • Affiliate relationships do not influence editorial decisions, rankings, or the technical accuracy of our tutorials.
  • Every article containing affiliate links includes a short disclosure notice at the top of that article.

Affiliate Programs We Participate In

Cloud Hosting & VPS Providers

  • DigitalOcean — We earn a commission when a reader signs up for DigitalOcean through our referral link and makes a qualifying spend. DigitalOcean operates its affiliate program via Impact Radius.
  • Vultr — We earn $35 per qualified signup through our Vultr affiliate link. Vultr operates its own affiliate portal.
  • Linode / Akamai Cloud — We earn $100 per qualified signup through our Linode affiliate link. The program is managed via Impact Radius (Akamai Cloud).
  • Hetzner — The Hetzner link on this site is a referral link, not a cash affiliate. When you activate a paid Hetzner account through our referral link, you receive €20 Hetzner account credit and we receive €20 Hetzner account credit. Neither party receives cash.

Monitoring & Observability

  • BetterStack — We earn a 25% recurring commission on subscriptions initiated through our BetterStack affiliate link.

SEO & Content Tools

  • SE Ranking — We earn a 30% lifetime recurring commission on subscriptions through our SE Ranking affiliate link. ThinkStreamTV actively uses SE Ranking for keyword research and rank tracking.
  • SEMrush (BeRush) — We earn a 40% recurring commission on subscriptions through our SEMrush BeRush affiliate link.

Automation Platforms

  • n8n Cloud — We earn a 20% recurring commission for 12 months on subscriptions through our n8n Cloud affiliate link. ThinkStreamTV publishes hands-on n8n tutorials and uses n8n in production.

This list is updated as new affiliate relationships are established. If a program is not listed here but you see a link on the site, contact us and we will clarify.

How to Identify Affiliate Links

Affiliate and referral links on ThinkStreamTV are identified in two ways:

  • A disclosure notice at the top of any article or page containing affiliate links.
  • Hetzner referral links are labelled explicitly as referral links in the surrounding text.

Our Editorial Standards

All tutorials on ThinkStreamTV are written based on direct technical evaluation. We do not publish sponsored articles, paid placements, or reviews in exchange for affiliate approval. Affiliate programs are selected because they are tools ThinkStreamTV already uses or has independently tested — not because of commission rates.
