In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s guidelines concerning the use of endorsements and testimonials in advertising (16 CFR Part 255), this disclosure explains the material connections between MarketUnlock and the products, services, and companies mentioned on this website.
The short version: I may earn money when you click links or buy things I recommend. This never costs you extra. I only recommend things I actually use or genuinely believe in.
Affiliate Relationships
MarketUnlock participates in affiliate marketing programs. This means when you click certain links on this site and make a purchase, I may receive a commission at no additional cost to you.
Affiliate programs I participate in include (but are not limited to):
- Amazon Associates Program
- Software and SaaS affiliate programs (tracking tools, email platforms, analytics tools, etc.)
- Hosting and domain registrar affiliate programs
- Course and training affiliate programs
- Ad network referral programs
How this affects you: It doesn’t cost you anything extra. The price you pay is the same whether you use my link or go directly to the vendor.
How this affects my recommendations: I recommend products and services I actually use or have thoroughly evaluated. The potential for earning a commission does not influence whether I recommend something. It only influences whether I include an affiliate link when I do recommend it.
