The short version
We may earn money when a reader follows certain retailer or course-provider links and completes a purchase. Affiliate relationships do not determine which products or courses we include, how we score them, or where we rank them.
An affiliate relationship does not guarantee favorable coverage. We still call out tradeoffs, recommend free options when they are the better answer, and tell readers when a product is not a good fit.
Amazon
Drone Authority participates in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program that lets sites earn fees by linking to Amazon.
As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
Common ownership
Drone Authority and Tosa Marketing are both operated by Joel Kelly. Tosa Marketing provides aerial photography and video services in southeast Wisconsin. Drone Authority may send a locally relevant buyer to that service, and Tosa may earn revenue if the buyer books work.
That relationship is disclosed wherever Tosa receives a local callout or provider profile. It does not silently change national provider sorting, another company's ability to claim a free listing, or the content of the independent hiring checklist.
How links work
We identify monetized purchase areas with language such as “affiliate link,” “buying disclosure,” or “retailer links may earn us a commission.” Those notices appear near the relevant recommendation or shopping controls.
Some outbound links pass through a Drone Authority redirect. That lets us attribute the click and send you to the correct retailer. The retailer handles the transaction, payment, shipping, returns, warranties, and customer service.
Prices & availability
Retailer prices, stock, promotions, and product details can change after we publish a page. A displayed price may be a typical range or a recently checked retailer price. Always confirm the final price and terms at the retailer before purchasing.
Not every external link is an affiliate link, and clicking an affiliate link never obligates you to buy anything.
Editorial standard
Our ratings and recommendations are editorial judgments based on published specifications, source research, owner feedback, value, and fit for a specific reader. The way the site earns money does not change that method.
