Affiliate disclosure

SideMyney is reader-supported. This page states exactly how the site earns money, and what that money is not allowed to buy.

The short version

TL;DR: product links on this site are Lazada Malaysia affiliate links. If you click one and buy, Lazada pays us a commission. You pay the same price. Commissions fund the site; they do not decide which products we recommend or what order they appear in.

What an affiliate link is

When you tap a product link on SideMyney you land on a Lazada Malaysia listing through a tracked link (the address starts with s.lazada.com.my). Lazada records the referral and pays the site a percentage of the completed order. The commission comes from the seller's budget, not from your wallet — the price you pay at checkout is the same price a shopper who arrived without us would pay.

What commissions pay for

Domain, hosting, the time spent building spec tables, checking listings and re-reading buyer reviews, and the tooling that validates every link at build time. That is the whole income model: a small independent publication funded by the readers it serves, rather than by the brands it writes about.

What money cannot buy on this site

How to recognise our links

Every outbound product link opens in a new tab and carries rel="sponsored nofollow", which tells search engines the link is paid. Internal links between our own guides never carry that attribute. Prices and availability on Lazada change constantly, especially during 9.9, 11.11 and payday sales — treat every figure on the page as the price we saw, and confirm it on the product page.

Advertising

We do not run third-party ad networks, and we do not serve advertising cookies. If a partnership ever changes this page, the change is documented here first. Partnership enquiries go to the contact page.
