Advertising Disclosure
Last updated: November 15, 2025
Our Commitment to Transparency
At PixelForge Academy, we believe in complete honesty and transparency with our students and website visitors. This Advertising Disclosure explains how we may earn revenue through various advertising and affiliate relationships, and how these relationships might influence the content we present.
We are committed to maintaining the trust you place in us by being upfront about our business practices and any financial relationships that may exist with third parties.
Affiliate Relationships and Partnerships
What Are Affiliate Relationships?
PixelForge Academy may participate in affiliate marketing programs, which means we may earn commissions when you click on certain links or make purchases through our recommendations. These affiliate relationships help support our educational mission and allow us to continue providing quality content and resources.
Our Affiliate Policy:
- Authentic Recommendations: We only recommend tools, software, and resources that we genuinely believe will benefit our students and align with our educational standards.
- No Extra Cost to You: Using our affiliate links does not increase the price you pay. In many cases, we've negotiated special discounts for our students.
- Clear Disclosure: When content includes affiliate links, we will clearly indicate this in the content or through appropriate disclosure notices.
- Independence: Our educational content and recommendations are based on merit, not commission rates. We maintain editorial independence in all our content.
Sponsored Content and Brand Partnerships
Sponsored Posts and Content
Occasionally, we may publish sponsored content or work with brands that align with our values and educational mission. When we do:
- All sponsored content will be clearly labeled as "Sponsored," "Paid Partnership," or "In Partnership With"
- We maintain full editorial control over sponsored content and only partner with brands we trust
- Sponsored content must provide genuine value to our audience and align with our educational standards
Brand Partnerships
We may form partnerships with software companies, design tool manufacturers, and educational platforms to provide enhanced benefits to our students. These partnerships are carefully selected to ensure they add value to your learning experience. Any financial relationship with these partners will be disclosed when relevant.
Content Authenticity Guarantee
Regardless of sponsorship or affiliate relationships, all content published by PixelForge Academy reflects our honest opinions and expertise. We will never compromise the integrity of our educational content for financial gain. If we wouldn't recommend something to our own family members or students, we won't recommend it to you.
