Affiliate Disclosure for Finance Pro Tips
At Finance Pro Tips, we provide accurate, insightful, and actionable content to help our readers in finance, accounting, and taxation. By doing affiliate marketing, we support the operational costs of this website, ensuring we can still deliver useful resources kept in high quality. In this disclosure, I will discuss what affiliate marketing is, how it works, and the impact this has on you, my valued visitor.
What is Affiliate Marketing?
Affiliate marketing is a performance-based deal between a company and a publisher (for example Finance Pro Tips. org). In this model of affiliate marketing, companies pay the publishers a commission for each sale they generate by using special tracking links to recommend products or services.
As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases. You pay no extra for this commission. They come at the expense of the merchant or service provider as part of their marketing efforts.
What Is Affiliate Marketing and Why Do We Use It?
Running a quality website like Finance Pro Tips. Building a site like org takes much time, work, and money. Between hosting, domain fees, research, writing, design, and maintaining a dedicated, professional platform is no small feat. Affiliate marketing allows us to make this all sustainable, meaning we can keep providing free, valuable resources to our audience, whilst funding these operations based on our audience use and preferred tools.
We make a commission for the products purchased through our affiliate links. This helps us:
- Funding operational expenses include hosting, domain registration, and website maintenance.
- Allocate resources for research and tools so our content stays accurate and current.
- Devote time to create detailed tutorials, guides, and tips that our readers use.
Transparency: What You Need to Know
Your trust is paramount to us. It’s important to us that you know—completely, openly—how we make money from this site. That’s why we’re transparent about our use of affiliate links and how they work.
We never recommend a product, tool, or service that we do not truly believe in or whose value we do not share with our audience. Our reviews, guides, and recommendations are made with:
- Personal experience with the products or services.
- Research and comparison of industry standards.
- Trusted user and finance/accounting professional feedback
Although we received commissions from affiliate links, this did not impact our editorial integrity. All the contents of Finance Pro Tips. My writing at org is done to deliver the most value to our readers.
How Do Affiliate Links Work?
You might find links to external products, tools, or services in our articles. Note: These links are often marked as an affiliate link or the content will disclose that material connection. If you hit one of these links:
- You’re sent to the merchant’s website.
- If you buy something, we get a small percentage of the sale as a referral fee.
This process does not change the price you pay. You might even get a nice discount or a deal when you click through these partnerships.
Affiliate Partnership Types
On Finance Pro Tips, we work with trusted brands and companies that match our mission of bringing you high-quality finance and accounting resources. There are a few common types of affiliate partnerships:
- Another useful tool: Accounting software (QuickBooks, Xero, Tally, etc.)
- Financial Services: Links to services that help with budgeting, investing, or tax planning.
- Online Courses: Recommendations for online finance or accounting courses, certificates, or training programs.
- Dictionaries: Subject-specific dictionaries or glossaries (e.g., taxation, personal finance, corporate accounting)
Note that we only recommend products and services we believe in, after careful vetting of our affiliate partners for value, reliability, and quality.
How Does This Impact You?
It is completely optional to use our affiliate links. After all, you will have full access to all the free content on this website, whether you buy something through an affiliate link or not.
If you decide to use our affiliate links, you:
- Support our ability to share better content with you and others.
- Contribute to our free and open-access platform for readers around the world.
Thank you so much for your assistance in this matter.
Our Editorial Independence
Also important to note: affiliate partnerships do not control our content. We recommend based on merit, relevance, and value only. Our second goal is to include affiliate links, but our first goal is to educate and inform our readers.
We will not promote a product or service with a generous commission unless we believe it adds value to the customer. Likewise, we are happy to recommend non-affiliate resources when we feel they offer better value.
