Hi there—Kris from ExcelCurve.com here. Transparency matters, so let’s talk about how this site earns money and how that affects the links and recommendations you find on each page.
1. How Affiliate Links Work
Some product or service links on ExcelCurve are “affiliate” links. When you click one of those links and make a purchase, we may receive a small commission at no additional cost to you. It’s a way for us to keep the lights on while still providing free tutorials, templates, and GIF-filled guides.
2. Programs We Participate In
- Amazon Services LLC Associates Program – As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases.
- Microsoft Partner Network – Some links to Microsoft 365 subscriptions are tracked.
- Occasional partnerships with reputable software vendors (e.g., add-in developers, course platforms).
3. Our Recommendation Policy
Commission ≠ automatic endorsement. We only link to products or services that we have:
- Used personally or tested in-house, or
- Reviewed based on reliable, verifiable user feedback.
If something doesn’t meet our standards, the affiliate commission doesn’t make it magically better—so we don’t recommend it.
4. No Extra Cost to You
The price you pay is the same whether you use our link or go directly to the vendor. In some cases you may actually get a discount or bonus through our link.
5. Your Trust Is Priority #1
ExcelCurve’s mission is to help you crush your Excel tasks—faster and with fewer headaches. If an affiliate relationship ever seems to conflict with that goal, we’ll pick transparency and user value every time.
6. Questions? Reach Out!
If you have any questions about our affiliate relationships—or spot a link that doesn’t behave as advertised—send an email to kris@excelcurve.com.
