Disclosure - How Home speaker makes Income:

When you click on an Amazon link to buy a flat screen TV or cables from Parts Express -I make a small commission.

It is in my best interest to only suggest products that are a good or great value. I generally try not to review or write about products that are poor performers as this would waste my time and yours.

Commissions for all TV's are the same so there is no reason to favor a brand or item for other reasons than performance. I only make an income if you click and buy an item.

How do I Provide Content on this Site Comletely Free?

The Ad picture to the right is an example of how this site makes an income. If you happen to click on that Ad and purchase a laptop skin I make a small commission. It works because you became aware of those skins through this site. A referral of sorts - if you will.

I try to keep this site looking really simple, professional, and clean. This is why I don't have 20 different ads on each page. I am a designer - and I don't like the look of too many ads. To me, it just looks like cluttered junk. Because I don't place as many ads, this may possibly stifle income. That's a sacrifice I am willing to make. I would guess that other folks don't like to see all of the ads either.

The ads I choose are selected very carefully: If you encounter a problem with one of my affiliates I definitely want to know! Negative feedback from my affiliates IS monitored from me personally and NOT tolerated.

How Home Speaker Makes Income:

I write and publish articles for the home theater, music and DIY audio enthusiast to help them build the ultimate entertainment machine.

I do this because the most difficult part of this hobby is education.

By making it free I can help a greater number of people and earn small commissions from the associated product ads on this site.

Basically, small commissions from advertisers are enough if plenty of people find this site useful. It's good for everyone, you, myself, and them.

If you have a problem with someone making a income from what you purchase, you will never be able to buy anything. We all have to pay the bills - this is how I do it!

The small commissions that this site may collect do nothing to increase the price of the item you may find interesting. Commissions are usually between 1% and 5%.

Does it Cost Anything to Run and Operate this Business?

I also have to pay the electric, rent, and other normal business expenses for the office. Some of the products have to be purchased as not all manufacturers will allow an unbiased opinion of their products. Some companies want a stake in the review outcome - I have no reason to give it to them.

There are plenty of excellent products and companies on the market, why sell out to one stubborn and unscrupulous company?

How do I pay for the site if I don't charge for the content?

This is my personal site. I accept compensation from best-of-breed companies with whom I like and trust.

Not all the links on this site are affiliate links.

Many of the links on this site earn me zero dollars in commissions.

These helpful links are needed to complete a project or article. And because of this they provide useful information for you.

I don't pick the "Ads by Google", google scans my site and offers the code to insert the block and they manage the code. I have no control over what you see in the Google ads.

I also accept donations direct from my visitors who wish to donate help support in that way.

How does the payment you receive affect the content you create?

I always give my honest opinion, feelings and comments about products and services and only recommend products I believe in and have used myself.

It is in my best interest to write articles about ideas and concepts that are meaningful to me. You may not agree with all that I have to say. If so, you are welcome to build your own site too!

Here is an example of a popular product that I could make income from ads but gave a truthfull review. It is unlikely that I will get any sales as a result of negative reviews such as that one. But you deserve to know what I have found during my research for better or worse. If I were in your shoes I would hope for no less.

My reputation is important to me because my business depends on your trust.

I therefore only recommend quality products and services that I personally believe are a good value. Most of them I still currently use or have owned.

Other recommendations are given to me from colleagues with whom I trust. Where applicable I quote these references. I hope that this site can be a great resource for you in your home speaker and home theater needs and education.

Thanks, Peter
