About this site and who writes it

Who writes these reviews?

I have spent the last several years working the partner side of large online launches: the ones where a program opens for a fixed window, a leaderboard runs, and affiliates drive registrations and sales inside a tight calendar. Across those launches I have generated more than $1 million in tracked sales as an affiliate.

These were my results. Your results will vary based on a variety of factors, including your education, effort, and market factors. There is no guarantee you will make any money.

That background is the reason this site exists. Promoting launches means reading the official pages, the partner terms and the offer structure closely, week after week. Most of that work never reaches the person deciding whether to register. These reviews are that work, written down.

How are the reviews made?

Every review follows the same method, and it is worth stating plainly so you know what you are reading:

• Facts come from official sources. Dates, prices, agendas and credentials are taken from the program’s own pages and materials, and checked again when a page is updated. If a detail is not published, it does not appear here as though it were.
• What is not published gets said. Each review points out the details the official page leaves out, such as an upsell or a trial that renews, so you can check them at signup instead of assuming.
• Recurring events get checked. Several of these events run on rotating dates. The pages are built so they do not advertise a date that has already passed.
• The affiliate relationship is stated up front. Not in the footer, not in small print: at the top of the page, before the first link.
• Reviews cover fit, not verdicts on people. The useful question is usually which starting point a program assumes, so the reviews are built around who each one is for, and who should skip it.

How does this site make money?

News MasterClass is funded by affiliate commissions. When you register or buy through a link on this site, the program may pay a commission, at no extra cost to you. Every page carrying those links says so before the first one appears. The full details, including which affiliate programs the site takes part in, are on the affiliate disclosure page.

Two things follow from that, and they are worth being direct about. I write about programs I am a partner for, so the reviews cover things I have chosen to promote. And a commission is paid on a registration or a sale, never on a result you go on to get, which is why nothing here is framed as an outcome you should expect.

This site is independent. It is not operated by, affiliated with or endorsed by any of the companies or people whose programs it covers.
