Editorial & Affiliate Disclosure
This page explains how Wealthronic is funded, how we keep editorial independence, and what to assume when you see an outbound link in an article.
1. Editorial independence
Wealthronic is written by one person — Juliet Brown — and edited by her. No advertiser, affiliate partner, or third party has ever paid for coverage, requested coverage, previewed an article, suggested edits, or influenced what gets published here. They do not have the option to.
If that changes — if Wealthronic ever publishes sponsored content, paid placements, or content commissioned by a brand — it will be clearly labeled as such and this page will be updated first.
2. How Wealthronic earns money
The site has three small revenue streams:
- Display advertising — the rectangular ads you sometimes see between paragraphs, 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.
- Affiliate links — a short list of products I personally use and recommend, mostly brokers, budgeting apps, and tax tools. When you sign up through one of these links, the company pays Wealthronic a small referral fee at no extra cost to you. These links are always labeled as "affiliate" inside the article.
- The Wealthronic Weekly newsletter — free, with no paid tier and no sponsorships. It funds nothing directly but keeps the work honest.
3. What we will not do
- Accept payment to write about a product, fund, broker, or service
- Accept "guest posts" or sponsored articles
- Run native or sponsored content disguised as editorial
- Recommend a product I would not use myself
- Let an affiliate partner choose what articles to publish, or when
4. Our affiliate partners (current)
The list below is small on purpose. It includes only services I have used personally for at least six months and would recommend to a reader I knew. If a service ever drops in quality, it comes off this list immediately.
- One discount broker, where I hold my personal taxable account
- One budgeting app, which I use to track household cash flow
- One tax-prep tool, which I have used for the last four filing seasons
The specific names appear in articles where relevant, with the affiliate relationship clearly labeled at the start of the section. If you'd prefer to bypass affiliate links entirely, simply search the company name directly — the experience is identical, and the site will be fine.
5. Disclosure inside articles
Every article that contains an affiliate link carries a yellow disclosure banner near the top stating the relationship. Display ads do not require per-article disclosure under FTC and ASA guidelines because they are visually distinct from editorial content, but we mention their presence here for transparency.
6. Reader-supported writing, eventually
The long-term goal is to move Wealthronic toward reader funding — voluntary subscriptions or small one-time tips — so that ads and affiliate revenue become a smaller share of the total. When that path is ready, it will be announced in the newsletter first.
7. 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'd rather know.
