How we handle affiliate relationships

An affiliate link is a URL that lets us earn a small commission if you click through and sign up or purchase. The price you pay is the same; the vendor pays us a small referral fee.

• Some marketplace listings (clearly labelled)
• Some tool recommendations within resources (labelled inline)
• Footer/sidebar partner blocks (labelled)

When a link is an affiliate link, it's clearly marked. Where it isn't marked, it isn't an affiliate link.

• Determine editorial verdicts. We don't say a tool is good because it pays us.
• Influence comparison rankings. Our "best for X" rankings reflect our editorial view.
• Affect which courses or resources we publish.
• Get baked into the AI co-pilot's recommendations.

Editorial picks the tools we list and reviews them on merit. Where we have access to a tool we use it for real before reviewing. Where we can't access it, we rely on documented public information and operator feedback — and we label the review accordingly.

The marketplace is in preview. As it grows, every listing will state whether we have an affiliate, partnership, or equity relationship with the vendor. Listings can exist without any commercial relationship — and we don't accept paid placement disguised as editorial.

If you believe a recommendation is influenced by commercial interest in a way we haven't disclosed, email editorial [at] entrepreneurbible.net and we'll look into it within 1 business day.
