Disclaimers
Last updated: June 2026
This page covers the affiliate disclaimer and earnings disclaimer for Left By The Ship (leftbytheship.com). If you have any questions, contact us at emma@leftbytheship.com.
Affiliate Disclaimer
Left By The Ship participates in affiliate marketing programmes. Some links on this site are affiliate links — if you click through and make a purchase, this site may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. The price you pay is not affected by whether you use an affiliate link or navigate to a vendor’s site directly.
Affiliate links appear throughout this site including within product reviews, pillar guides, and recommendation sections. This sitewide disclosure applies to all content.
How This Affects Our Reviews
Emma Carter only recommends products and services she has personally evaluated and believes to be genuinely useful. The existence of an affiliate relationship does not influence the editorial assessment of any product reviewed on this site.
Where a product does not hold up to scrutiny, it is not recommended regardless of whether an affiliate programme exists. Where a product is recommended, that recommendation reflects Emma’s honest assessment based on her commercial finance background and direct experience — not the availability of a commission.
Affiliate income allows this site to operate independently without charging readers or accepting sponsored content.
Earnings Disclaimer
Income Figures Are Not Typical Results
Where income figures are referenced on this site — whether in the context of reviewing a product, describing a business model, or discussing Emma Carter’s own experience — those figures are not typical results and should not be interpreted as a guarantee or prediction of what you will earn.
Online business income varies significantly depending on individual effort, experience, capital invested, market conditions, time committed, and many other factors. The majority of people who attempt online business models do not generate significant income. Many generate no income at all.
Emma Carter’s Results Are Not Your Results
Where this site references Emma Carter’s own experience running local lead generation sites or other online business activities, those results reflect her specific circumstances: fifteen years of corporate finance experience, existing analytical and commercial skills, access to capital for investment, and a full-time income that allowed her to build her operation over time without financial pressure.
Her results are shared to provide context and establish credibility, not as a benchmark for what you should expect. Your results will depend on your own circumstances, skills, and effort.
Product Income Claims
Where this site reviews products that make income claims, those claims are assessed critically as part of the review process. The presence of such a claim in a review does not constitute endorsement of it. In many cases, income claims reviewed on this site are assessed as misleading, unsubstantiated, or false.
No Financial Advice
Nothing on this site constitutes financial advice. Content is provided for informational and educational purposes only. Before making any financial or business investment decision, seek independent professional advice appropriate to your circumstances.
