Affiliate Disclosure
How ClutchPost makes money, in plain terms.
In accordance with the FTC’s Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials, this page discloses ClutchPost’s affiliate relationships and how they relate to our content.
The core disclosure
Some links on ClutchPost are affiliate links. If you click one and make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. This never changes what we recommend or how we rate a product.
What This Means
Three things worth knowing.
No extra cost to you
The commission comes from the retailer or brand’s marketing budget, not from a markup on your purchase price.
Ratings stay independent
Whether a link is affiliated or not has no bearing on our Review Methodology or the conclusions we publish.
It’s labeled in the article
We disclose affiliate relationships within the article itself, not just buried in a footer or hidden page.
What Are Affiliate Links?
An affiliate link is a specially tracked URL that allows a retailer or brand to know that a purchase came from ClutchPost. When you click one of these links and make a qualifying purchase, we may receive a small commission. This is a common way independent publishers fund their work, and it’s how a meaningful portion of ClutchPost’s operating costs are covered.
Where Affiliate Links Appear
Affiliate links may appear in:
- Product reviews and comparison articles
- “Best of” roundups and buying guides
- Supplement, wearable, and equipment recommendations mentioned within educational articles
Not every product mentioned on ClutchPost is a paid affiliate relationship — some references are purely editorial and carry no commission.
What Doesn’t Change
-
Our recommendations. We recommend products based on our Review Methodology, not on which ones pay the highest commission.
-
Our ratings. A product’s rating reflects its performance against our published criteria — an affiliate deal doesn’t buy a better score.
-
Our willingness to say “skip this one.” If a product doesn’t hold up, we say so, even where an affiliate relationship exists.
Other Ways We May Earn Revenue
In addition to affiliate commissions, ClutchPost may generate revenue through display advertising served by third-party ad networks. As with affiliate links, advertising placement does not influence editorial content or product ratings.
FTC Compliance
This disclosure is provided in accordance with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission’s Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising, which require clear disclosure of material connections between a publisher and the products it discusses.
Regardless of where you’re reading from — the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, or Australia — we apply the same disclosure standard site-wide.
Questions About This Disclosure
