Affiliate Disclosure
Short version: Some links on AudienceBench are affiliate links. If you click one and then sign up for or buy the product, we may earn a commission. You don’t pay anything extra. Right now, that only applies to beehiiv links.
What that means
- We currently earn only from beehiiv. beehiiv links on this site are affiliate links. When you use our beehiiv link and become a paying customer, beehiiv may pay us a share of what you pay them for a limited period. We may apply to other companies’ affiliate or partner programs later; if we do and get approved, we’ll update this page.
- Kit and HubSpot are not affiliate partners right now. Links that go through addresses like
audiencebench.com/go/kitoraudiencebench.com/go/hubspotcurrently forward to those companies’ homepages. We don’t earn a commission from Kit or HubSpot. - It costs you nothing extra. The price you pay is the same whether or not you use our link. Some programs give referred customers a discount or longer trial; when that’s the case, we’ll say so.
- How to spot affiliate links. Active affiliate links usually go through an address like
audiencebench.com/go/beehiiv, which then forwards you to the company’s website. Articles that contain affiliate links show a disclosure near the top of the page. - Commissions don’t buy recommendations. Companies can’t pay for a better rating or placement. We recommend what fits the reader’s situation, including free plans and products we don’t earn anything from.
- Not every link is an affiliate link. We also link to vendors’ documentation, pricing pages, and products we have no relationship with.
Why we disclose
We want you to be able to weigh our recommendations knowing how we’re paid. This also follows the U.S. Federal Trade Commission’s guidance that endorsers disclose material connections, such as affiliate commissions, clearly and close to the recommendation. You can read the FTC’s plain-language guide, Disclosures 101 for Social Media Influencers, and its Endorsement Guides FAQ.
