Our Commitment to Transparency
Forge the Flow is reader-supported. This means that some of the links on this site are affiliate links — and if you click one and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you.
We think you deserve to know that upfront, clearly, and without fine print.
What That Means in Practice
Some posts and pages on ForgeTheFlow.com contain links to products, gear, supplements, courses, or services. When those links are affiliate links, we earn a percentage of the sale if you choose to buy. The price you pay is identical to what you’d pay going directly to the retailer. You pay nothing extra. We simply receive a referral fee from the seller.
Affiliate relationships we currently maintain or may maintain include, but are not limited to:
- Amazon Associates Program
- Avantlink
- ShareASale network merchants
- Commission Junction (CJ) network merchants
- Individual brand affiliate programs related to fitness equipment, nutrition, outdoor gear, and training resources
Our Editorial Standard on Recommendations
We only recommend products and services we would genuinely use, have used, or have thoroughly researched. Affiliate relationships do not influence our editorial opinions, our ratings, or our conclusions. If a product isn’t good, we won’t recommend it — regardless of the commission it pays.
Our content is created to serve the reader first. Monetization is how we keep the site running. Those two things are not in conflict, and we intend to keep it that way.
FTC Compliance
This disclosure is made in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s guidelines on endorsements and testimonials, specifically 16 CFR Part 255. These guidelines require that material connections between content creators and brands be clearly disclosed to readers.
Individual posts containing affiliate links will also carry a brief disclosure at the top of the post or in proximity to the relevant link, in addition to this standalone page.
Sponsored Content
Occasionally, Forge the Flow may publish sponsored posts or accept compensation from brands in exchange for coverage. Any sponsored content will be clearly labeled as such. Sponsorship does not guarantee a positive review or editorial endorsement.
