Sponsorship & Affiliate Disclosure

How We Keep Dear Yesterday Free

Dear Yesterday is a free newsletter, and we intend to keep it that way. To support the costs of running the service — hosting, email delivery, historical data, and AI content generation — we occasionally include sponsored content and affiliate links in our newsletters.

We want to be straightforward about how this works.

Affiliate Links

Some links in our newsletters are affiliate links. This means that if you click through and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you. The price you pay is the same whether you use our link or go directly.

We only include affiliate links to products and services that we believe are genuinely relevant to someone interested in personal history, family heritage, storytelling, and the past. We will never recommend something solely because it pays a commission.

Sponsored Content

Occasionally, a newsletter may include a short sponsored section from a brand or company. When this happens, it is always clearly labeled as sponsored. We choose sponsors that align with the interests of our readers and the spirit of Dear Yesterday.

Sponsored content does not influence the editorial content of the newsletter. The historical narratives, events, and stories we cover are never shaped by sponsor relationships.

Our Commitment

Trust matters more than revenue. We commit to the following:

• Sponsored content and affiliate links are always clearly identified.
• We only partner with brands and products we believe our readers would find genuinely useful or interesting.
• Commercial relationships never influence our editorial content.
• We keep the ratio reasonable — the newsletter is about history and connection, not advertising.

FTC Compliance

This disclosure is provided in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s guidelines on endorsements and testimonials. The FTC requires that material connections between publishers and advertisers be clearly disclosed.
