Advertising Disclosure

Our Commitment to Transparency

We believe in honest and open communication with our clients and website visitors. When we recommend products, services, or resources, we want you to understand the nature of any financial relationships that may exist.

This disclosure is provided in accordance with applicable advertising regulations, including guidelines established by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) in the United States and similar regulatory bodies in other jurisdictions.

Affiliate Relationships and Partnerships

What Are Affiliate Relationships?

Growth Frameworks participates in affiliate marketing programs, which means we may receive compensation when you click on certain links or purchase products and services through our website. This compensation comes at no additional cost to you.

How Affiliate Links Work

When we recommend tools, platforms, or services that we believe may benefit our clients and readers:

• Some links may contain tracking codes that identify us as the referral source
• If you make a purchase through these links, we may earn a commission
• The price you pay remains the same whether you use our link or go directly to the provider
• We only recommend products and services we genuinely believe have value

Our Recommendation Policy

We maintain strict standards for any products or services we recommend:

• We only recommend tools and services we have personally evaluated or used
• Our recommendations are based on quality, value, and relevance to your needs
• Affiliate compensation does not influence our honest assessment of products
• We disclose when a recommendation includes an affiliate relationship
• We are willing to recommend non-affiliate alternatives if they better serve your needs

Financial Relationship Transparency

The compensation we receive through affiliate relationships helps support the maintenance of our website and the creation of educational content. However, these relationships never compromise our commitment to providing honest, valuable information to our clients and visitors.

Sponsored Content and Paid Promotions

Identifying Sponsored Content

From time to time, Growth Frameworks may publish sponsored content or paid promotional materials. When this occurs:

• All sponsored content is clearly labeled as such
• We use clear designations such as "Sponsored," "Paid Partnership," or similar language
• The labeling appears prominently at the beginning of the content
• Sponsored content is distinguishable from editorial content

Sponsored Content Standards

We maintain editorial standards for all sponsored content:

• Sponsored content must align with our values and professional standards
• We retain editorial control and will not publish content we believe is misleading
• Sponsors are disclosed clearly to maintain transparency with our audience
• We ensure sponsored content provides genuine value to our readers

Brand Partnerships

Growth Frameworks may enter into brand partnerships where we collaborate with companies to create content or promote services. These partnerships are:

• Disclosed clearly to our audience
• Based on genuine alignment with our expertise and values
• Structured to ensure content authenticity and integrity
• Subject to the same quality standards as our non-sponsored content

Content Authenticity Guarantee

Whether content is sponsored or not, we commit to providing honest, accurate information. Our professional reputation is built on trust, and we will not compromise that for financial gain. If we believe a sponsored opportunity would mislead our audience, we decline it.
