Affiliate Disclosure

What Is an Affiliate Relationship?

An affiliate relationship means that when we recommend a product or service and include a special link, we may earn a commission if you purchase through that link. The price you pay is exactly the same - whether or not you use our link. The commission comes from the seller's side, not yours.

We only enter affiliate relationships with products and services we have genuine confidence in. A commercial relationship never influences whether we recommend something; our recommendations are based on honest evaluation of whether a tool, platform, or service could benefit the businesses we serve.

FTC Compliance

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) requires that content creators and businesses clearly disclose material connections to any products or services they recommend. This page, along with in-content disclosures where applicable, fulfills that requirement.

This disclosure is made in accordance with the FTC's Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising (16 CFR Part 255).

Where Affiliate Links May Appear

Affiliate or referral links may appear in any of the following places on agilemediamarketing.com:

• Blog posts and articles that review or recommend tools
• Resource lists or recommended tools sections
• Service descriptions that reference third-party platforms
• Any other content where we link to products or services we use or recommend

When a specific piece of content contains affiliate links, we include a disclosure notice at or near the beginning of that content as well.

What We Recommend and Why

Our team uses many of the tools and services we write about in our own day-to-day work. When we recommend something to small and medium-sized businesses, it comes from direct experience or thorough research - not because of the commission rate. Some of our most strongly recommended resources carry no affiliate relationship at all.

If we have not used a product directly, we say so clearly and base our assessment on credible research, peer experience, or publicly available information.

Referral Programs

In addition to traditional affiliate links, we may participate in referral programs offered by software companies, platforms, or service providers. These referral relationships work similarly - we may receive a credit, payment, or benefit when someone we refer becomes a customer. The same principles apply: we only refer businesses we believe can genuinely help our audience.

Your Trust Matters

Our business is built on helping small and medium-sized businesses grow. Recommending something that does not deliver would harm the people we are here to help - and ultimately harm our reputation. Affiliate income is supplemental; it does not drive our editorial decisions.

If you ever have a question about whether a specific recommendation is affiliated, or want more detail about a product we have referenced, reach out. We are happy to give you the full picture.

No Guarantees

Mentioning or linking to a product or service does not constitute a warranty or guarantee of any kind. Results from any tool or platform will vary based on how it is used, your business context, and many other factors. Please also read our Disclaimer for more on this.
