Affiliate Disclosure for LevelUp

Effective Date: April 29, 2025

At LevelUp, we believe in transparency and want to ensure that our users are fully informed about how we operate and how affiliate marketing may play a role in the content you see on our website at https://lvlup.cfd/. Affiliate marketing is one of the ways we generate revenue to support the creation of high-quality content, and we are committed to making sure you understand the relationship between the links we provide and the potential for us to earn a commission.

We value your trust and aim to provide clear, honest information. This Affiliate Disclosure is meant to explain what affiliate links are, how we use them, how they benefit our website, and how they may affect your experience. By continuing to use our website, you consent to the practices described in this policy. If you have any concerns or would like more information, please don't hesitate to reach out to our support team at https://lvlup.cfd/support.

What is Affiliate Marketing?

Affiliate marketing is a process in which a website, business, or individual promotes a product or service offered by another company and receives compensation when users make purchases or take specific actions, such as signing up for a service. The compensation is typically in the form of a commission. These affiliate links are a key part of how many websites—LevelUp included—fund their operations while offering content that is free for users to access.

For example, when you click on an affiliate link on our site and purchase a product, we may receive a small commission. Importantly, this comes at no additional cost to you. You pay the same price whether you use our affiliate link or purchase the product directly from the vendor's website. Affiliate links are a way for companies to reward content creators, like LevelUp, for referring customers to their products or services.

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) requires websites to disclose affiliate relationships, and we comply with all FTC guidelines outlined at https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/resources/ftcs-endorsement-guides-what-people-are-asking.

How LevelUp Uses Affiliate Links

At LevelUp, we include affiliate links in various types of content available at https://lvlup.cfd/. These may include, but are not limited to, product reviews, tutorials, banners, and recommendations. We carefully select affiliate products and services that we believe will provide value to our audience. When you click on one of these affiliate links and make a purchase, we may receive a small commission from the merchant or service provider.

Affiliate links are often embedded within articles, blog posts, product roundups, reviews, and other types of content. For example, if we write a review of a product, and the article contains a link to purchase the item on Amazon or another affiliate retailer, that link is considered an affiliate link. If you make a purchase through that link, we may receive compensation. However, we want to emphasize that the presence of affiliate links does not affect the content itself.

Our reviews, articles, and recommendations available through our content library at https://lvlup.cfd/content are always based on research, personal experience, and the value we believe the product or service will bring to you, our audience.

Types of Affiliate Programs We Work With

To ensure that we only promote the highest quality products, LevelUp partners with a variety of affiliate networks and merchants. These programs typically involve products and services relevant to our audience. Here are some of the most common affiliate networks and programs that we may participate in:

Amazon Associates

As an Amazon Associate, we may earn a small commission when users click on Amazon affiliate links and make purchases. Amazon Associates is one of the largest and most widely used affiliate marketing programs in the world, offering a vast range of products across multiple categories. You can learn more about the Amazon Associates program at https://affiliate-program.amazon.com/.

ClickBank

ClickBank is an online marketplace and affiliate network that specializes in digital products. These products can include eBooks, software, online courses, and digital content. When we recommend these types of products, we may use affiliate links to ClickBank.

CJ Affiliate (formerly Commission Junction)

CJ Affiliate is another major affiliate marketing platform that connects content creators like us with top-tier brands. LevelUp may partner with various companies via CJ Affiliate to provide you with high-quality recommendations.

ShareASale

ShareASale is a popular affiliate network that works with a variety of merchants across multiple industries. By working with ShareASale, we can recommend a wide range of products that are relevant to our audience.

Other Affiliate Networks and Merchants

We may also participate in other smaller, niche affiliate programs that offer specialized products and services. These could include recommendations for exclusive merchandise, software, or other services relevant to our content categories.

The affiliate networks and merchants we partner with are carefully chosen based on their reputation, the quality of their products, and the value they offer to our audience at https://lvlup.cfd/.

How Affiliate Links Benefit Our Website

Affiliate marketing plays a significant role in helping LevelUp generate revenue. By participating in affiliate programs, we can continue to operate and maintain our website, fund the creation of new content, and provide useful resources to our audience.

While affiliate marketing is a valuable source of income for our website, we never allow it to influence our editorial decisions. All content, whether it contains affiliate links or not, is produced with our audience's best interests in mind. We aim to offer impartial, well-researched content that helps you make informed decisions about the products and services we recommend.

In addition to supporting LevelUp's ongoing operations, affiliate commissions also allow us to reinvest in the website. For example, we use affiliate revenue to pay for hosting, design improvements, content creation, and marketing efforts. This helps ensure that we continue to deliver high-quality content that meets the needs and interests of our community at https://lvlup.cfd/community.

Transparency and Ethical Standards

We believe in providing full transparency about our affiliate marketing practices in compliance with FTC disclosure requirements. Whenever we include an affiliate link in our content, we make it clear to our audience. For example, you may see statements such as:

- "This post contains affiliate links. If you make a purchase through these links, we may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you."
- "LevelUp participates in affiliate marketing programs, meaning we may receive compensation if you purchase a product or service through our affiliate links."
- "As an affiliate, we may earn from qualifying purchases."

These disclosures are meant to ensure that you are aware of our affiliate relationships and understand how they may impact your experience on our website. We want to assure you that our content is never influenced by affiliate partnerships. Whether or not we include an affiliate link in an article does not change our editorial stance, and we only recommend products or services that we believe are genuinely helpful and relevant to our audience.

Our commitment to transparency extends to all aspects of our content creation process, as outlined in our editorial guidelines at https://lvlup.cfd/editorial-guidelines.

How to Avoid Affiliate Links

If you prefer not to use affiliate links, you can still enjoy the content on LevelUp without any impact. We make it easy for you to avoid affiliate links by simply visiting the product or service's website directly through a search engine or by typing in the URL.
