The short version: Some links on this site are affiliate links. If you click one and make a purchase, I may earn a small commission — at no extra cost to you. I only recommend things I genuinely believe in.

FTC Compliance

In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s guidelines on endorsements and testimonials (16 CFR Part 255), Pivot Protocol discloses any material connections between this site and the products or services recommended here.

This site is owned and operated by Pivot Protocol. From time to time, this site contains affiliate links — meaning if you click a link and make a qualifying purchase, I receive a small referral commission from the company at no additional cost to you.

What This Means for You

When you see a recommendation on this site — whether it’s a tool, course, book, or service — there are a few possible scenarios:

  • The link is an affiliate link and I may earn a commission if you purchase
  • The link is a standard link with no compensation involved
  • The product is something I personally use or have paid for myself

I do my best to note when a link is an affiliate link, but this disclosure applies to the site as a whole.

My Recommendations Policy

I don’t recommend something just because it pays a commission. My credibility is worth more to me than any referral fee. If I link to something, it’s because I’ve vetted it, used it, or researched it thoroughly.

I will never recommend products I believe are harmful, overpriced, or poor quality simply because an affiliate program exists. If I have a strong negative opinion of something, I’ll say so — regardless of whether a competitor pays me.

Affiliate Programs I Participate In

I may be affiliated with programs including (but not limited to):

  • Amazon Associates Program
  • Tool and software affiliate programs relevant to career transition, content creation, and digital business
  • Course or platform referral programs

This list may not be exhaustive, as affiliate relationships change over time.

Sponsored Content

If any content on this site is sponsored (meaning I’ve been paid to create it), that will be clearly labeled as sponsored or in partnership with the relevant brand. Sponsored content does not change my honest opinion — I’ll still tell you what I actually think.

Questions?
