AFFILIATE DISCLOSURE
We at Astra and Brainstorm Force have exceptionally high ethical standards. On our website, WPAstra.com, we only recommend products or services that we genuinely believe are worthy of your time and money and that we feel will offer real value to you.
These recommendations come from our expertise and experience using the product or service and not from any affiliate incentive or income.
Only a few of our recommendations link to affiliate products. Our primary goal is to develop the WordPress community through great content. That means being objective and providing recommendations for the best solution in the best situation, regardless of whether it’s an affiliate or not.
If you click on an affiliate link and make a successful purchase, we receive a small commission. These commissions help us cover the costs of producing content for you to enjoy..
In some cases, you can also benefit. Some affiliate arrangements include exclusive discounts for Astra blog fans. After all, it’s only fair to share the bounty with our beloved readers!.
A LITTLE ABOUT US
Brainstorm Force was launched in 2009. In the last decade, we’ve developed numerous WordPress solutions now used by over 3 million websites. We don’t just develop products at Brainstorm Force; we develop solutions!
Thanks to your continued support, the Astra theme, which is also a Brainstorm Force product, has well over 1 million users worldwide and is currently the most popular theme of all time in the WordPress ecosystem.
HOW BRAINSTORM FORCE MAKES MONEY
At Brainstorm Force, our main business is crafting software solutions that include Astra Pro, Schema Pro, Convert Pro, among many others.
However, our goal is not just to create software. We also want to share our knowledge and passion for everything WordPress. As part of this mission, we create useful resources like blog articles and videos.
Our desire is to share knowledge, promote best practices and generally play our part in developing WordPress and its superb community.
All our informative and insightful content is backed by intense research and is free for everyone to access. That costs money to produce.
We rely on affiliate marketing to offset production costs and cover other expenses involved in developing and managing the content.
We firmly believe that using the affiliate model is better for everyone. We earn affiliate commissions when our audience successfully purchases from companies that we recommend on our blog.
You get to enjoy fantastic, informative content for free.
You also get to enjoy our content without ads, popups or other annoyances.
We think this is a fair exchange.
We will only work with affiliates we believe in. Affiliates we have genuine relationships with and whom we are happy to put our name to.
HOW DOES IT WORK
A standard non-affiliate website link looks something like websitexyz.com, while an affiliate link may look like websitexyz.com/?affid=xx.
The ?affid=xx is the string added behind the standard link that helps the original merchant track the referral source of traffic and later reward us for that referral in affiliate marketing.
Please note:
- Affiliate links don’t add any extra cost to you. On the contrary, in some cases, merchants offer special discounts for our audience. Hence, in no case will it cost you extra while purchasing from our affiliate link. Often, you will end up saving money while purchasing from our affiliate links because of our specially curated discount codes and exclusive deals.
- We don’t receive access to any personal information (email address, phone, etc.) that you provide to the original merchant while purchasing the product/service through our affiliate link.
- At Brainstorm Force and WPAstra.com, we make all the recommendations from detailed research, analysis, and testing from our content team. We take pride in going to the root of the matter and bringing only the best to the table. We do not say that a particular product is right only because we are affiliated with it.
NOT EVERYTHING MAKES IT TO OUR RECOMMENDED LIST
We only endorse products or services that we believe in. We base those endorsements on our many years of expertise and only after thorough testing.
We only write about and recommend only the best tools and products that we would use ourselves.
As and when required, we do promote and recommend many non-affiliate products and solutions too. Our end goal is to provide the best value and solution to our audience and not merely to recommend a product/service to earn an affiliate commission.
For reference, we also recommend many other products of our parent company Brainstorm Force in our blogs.
