Disclosure & Monetization Policy

A Brother Abroad is reader-supported through a mix of advertising, affiliate relationships, and partnerships. This page explains how monetization works here, and how I handle conflicts of interest.

Educational content (not individualized advice)

The content on this site is for educational and informational purposes only. It is not individualized financial, tax, or legal advice, and reading this site does not create a professional-client relationship. Consider consulting qualified financial, tax, and legal professionals before making decisions.

Affiliate links

Some links on this site are affiliate links. If you click and purchase, I may earn a commission at no additional cost to you.

  • I only use affiliate relationships that fit the topic and reader intent.
  • Affiliate links do not change my core editorial standards.
  • When a post includes affiliate links, I aim to include an on-page disclosure near the first relevant link (not buried).

Sponsored content and partnerships

I do no publish sponsored content or partnership content. When I do:

Display advertising

This site may show display ads (e.g., via an ad network). Ads are not endorsements.

Product and service reviews

If I review a product or service:

  • I aim to be clear about who it’s for and who it’s not for
  • I separate features from opinion
  • I disclose material connections (affiliate links, sponsorship, free access, etc.)

Conflicts of interest

If there is a conflict worth disclosing (payment, relationship, free product, sponsorship), I disclose it. If you ever see something that should have been disclosed but wasn’t, tell me via the contact page

Questions

If you have a question about disclosures, sponsorship, or affiliate relationships, use the Contact page.
