Affiliate & advertising disclosure

How we make money, and how we keep it fair.

The short version: we earn commissions on purchases made through some links on this site. If you click a link marked “paid link” and then buy or subscribe, the retailer or company may pay The Rundowns a commission. You don't pay anything extra.

Which links pay us

We take part in (or intend to join) affiliate programs, currently beehiiv, and we may add others such as Kit, systeme.io and Amazon AU once we're accepted. We'll add any statement a program requires here when we join it. Every affiliate link is marked “paid link” right next to it and tagged rel="sponsored". Links marked “not a paid link” don't earn us anything.

How we keep it fair

The rules we follow

United States: this disclosure is intended to follow the FTC's Endorsement Guides, which call for clear disclosures placed close to the recommendation.

Australia: it is intended to meet the Australian Consumer Law as explained by the ACCC: commercial relationships, including affiliate links, are disclosed clearly and prominently and labelled as advertising (#ad).
