Editorial & Affiliate Disclosure
This page explains how Wealthronic is funded, how editorial independence is maintained, and what to expect when you encounter an outbound link in an article.
1. The short version
As of the date at the top of this page, Wealthronic does not have any active affiliate relationships and does not earn referral revenue from any of the products or services mentioned on the site. The only current revenue stream is display advertising via Google AdSense (when enabled). This page exists so that — if and when affiliate links are added in the future — the rules they will operate under are documented in advance.
2. Editorial independence
Wealthronic is written by one person — Juliet Brown — and edited by her. No advertiser, affiliate partner, or third party has paid for coverage, requested coverage, previewed an article, suggested edits, or influenced what gets published here. They do not have the option to.
If this ever changes — if Wealthronic ever publishes sponsored content, paid placements, or content commissioned by a brand — it will be clearly labeled as such on the relevant page and this disclosure page will be updated first.
3. How Wealthronic is currently funded
Two small sources:
- Display advertising (when enabled) — the rectangular ads served by Google AdSense. We do not pick which advertisers appear; ads are auctioned and served programmatically by Google. The presence of an ad on a page is not an endorsement of the advertiser by Wealthronic.
- The reader's attention — there is currently no paywall, no premium tier, and no paid sponsorship. The newsletter is in pre-launch and will be free when it opens.
Wealthronic does not currently receive affiliate commissions from any broker, fund, app, or service. Where an article mentions a specific product by name (for example, "I use a Google Sheet I built in an afternoon"), there is no commercial arrangement behind the mention.
4. Rules that will apply when affiliate links are added
If and when Wealthronic begins using affiliate links, the following rules will apply without exception:
- Only products the author personally uses and would recommend regardless of the affiliate relationship will be linked.
- Each article containing an affiliate link will carry a clearly worded disclosure banner near the top — not buried in the footer.
- The list of active affiliate partners will be published in full on this page, with the date each relationship started.
- No "guest posts," sponsored placements, or content commissioned by an affiliate partner will be accepted.
- An affiliate partnership will never determine what is covered, when, or how favorably.
- Affiliate links will earn the site a small referral fee paid by the merchant, not the reader. Clicking through one does not change the price you pay.
5. Things this site will not do
- Accept payment to write about a product, fund, broker, or service
- Accept "guest posts" or pay-for-publication submissions from agencies
- Run native or sponsored content disguised as editorial
- Recommend a product the author would not use herself
- Let an external partner choose what is published, or when
6. Display ads, briefly
Display ads from Google AdSense are visually distinct from editorial content and are clearly bordered or labeled. Under FTC and ASA guidelines they do not require per-article disclosure for that reason, but we mention their presence here so the funding model is transparent. If you would rather not see personalized ads, you can opt out via Google Ads Settings — see our Cookie Policy for more.
7. Reader-supported writing, eventually
The long-term aim is to move Wealthronic toward reader funding — voluntary subscriptions or small one-time tips — so that ads become a smaller share of the total. When that path is ready, it will be announced in the newsletter first.
8. Questions
If something on the site seems out of step with the principles above, please tell us. Disclosure that has to be requested is bad disclosure; we would rather know.
