Affiliate Disclosure
Trusted Tool Guide is a participant in various affiliate marketing programs. This disclosure is provided to comply with the Federal Trade Commission’s (FTC) guidelines regarding endorsements and testimonials in advertising.
What Affiliate Links Mean for You
When you click on certain links throughout this website and make a purchase or sign up for a service, we may earn a commission from the company at no additional cost to you. The price you pay is exactly the same whether you use our affiliate links or go directly to the company’s website.
These commissions help support the time we spend researching, testing, and writing detailed reviews and comparisons of the software tools we cover. Without them, we wouldn’t be able to publish the in-depth content this site is known for.
Our Editorial Independence
We take editorial independence seriously. Here’s our commitment to you:
- We only recommend products and services we believe are genuinely useful for our readers
- We do not let affiliate commissions influence our reviews — a tool’s commission rate has no impact on whether we recommend it or how we rate it
- We disclose pros AND cons of every tool we cover, not just the positives
- When tools fail to meet our standards, we say so plainly, even if we have an affiliate relationship with them
- We test the products we review whenever possible before publishing recommendations
- Our editorial process is independent of any company we cover, including our affiliate partners
Affiliate Programs We Participate In
Trusted Tool Guide participates in affiliate programs from companies including but not limited to:
- Kit (formerly ConvertKit)
- Mailchimp
- GetResponse
- ActiveCampaign
- Beehiiv
- MailerLite
- Other SaaS and software providers we review on this site
We may add or remove affiliate partnerships over time based on which tools we cover and recommend. Our recommendations are based on independent assessment, not on which programs are most lucrative.
How We Make Money
Affiliate commissions are the primary way Trusted Tool Guide generates revenue. We do not currently accept paid sponsored posts, paid product placements, or guest articles from companies. If our monetization model changes in the future, we will update this disclosure accordingly.

If you have any questions about our affiliate relationships or our editorial process, please reach out to us at jjpkays@gmail.com. Transparency matters to us, and we’re happy to clarify anything you’d like to know.
