Affiliate Disclosure: How Beef Jerky Hub Earns Its Keep
A lot of what you’ll read on Beef Jerky Hub points at gear and ingredients: dehydrators, smokers, jerky guns, thermometers, curing salts and bags of jerky worth trying. Many of those links go to Amazon, and if you buy something after clicking one, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. Here’s exactly how that works.

The One Program We’re In
As an Amazon Associate, Beef Jerky Hub earns from qualifying purchases.
Right now, Amazon is the only affiliate program we take part in, and this page covers it.
How to Spot an Affiliate Link
Affiliate links show up in three forms: ordinary text links to Amazon inside an article, product cards that show a product’s picture, title, price and a few bullet points, and the equipment lists on our recipe cards.
All of them carry our Amazon Associates tag. When you click one and then buy something on Amazon, Amazon records that you arrived from Beef Jerky Hub and pays us a percentage of the sale. The commission comes out of Amazon’s side of the deal. You pay the same price you’d pay walking in through Amazon’s front door.
The Directory Is Different
The jerky maker directory is plain links to independent smokehouses, family shops and online sellers. We don’t earn a commission when you order from them. It’s there because finding great jerky is the whole point of this site.
What Amazon Tells Us (and What It Doesn’t)
Amazon tells us which products were bought through our links so it can work out the commission. It doesn’t tell us who bought them, and it doesn’t share names, addresses or payment details. Our Privacy Policy covers the rest of what happens when you visit.
How We Pick What to Link
We link to gear and ingredients that belong in the article: the dehydrator a guide uses, the curing salt a recipe calls for, the thermometer that answers the “is it done yet” question. Commissions don’t decide what we recommend, and they don’t decide how much we like it.
Ads Are a Separate Thing
The site also shows display advertising served by Google. Those ads are picked by Google, not by us, and they have nothing to do with affiliate links.
You Never Have to Click
Using an affiliate link is optional. You can search for the product yourself, buy it somewhere else, or borrow your neighbor’s dehydrator. If you do use one, thank you. The commissions help pay for the hours that go into researching and writing these guides and recipes.
