FTC Disclosure

Because Transparency Matters

As you explore this website, you'll occasionally come across recommendations for tools, software, services, and other resources that I believe are worth your consideration. Some of those recommendations may include affiliate links.

That simply means if you decide to purchase something through one of those links, C2Local may receive a small referral commission from the company.

This doesn't increase your purchase price in any way.

If I do recommend something on this website, it's because I feel comfortable recommending it and I believe it will help independents solve a problem or reach a goal. If I don't believe something provides value, it won't appear here regardless of whether there's an affiliate commission attached to it.

Why I'm Telling You This

The Federal Trade Commission requires websites like this one to disclose when there's a financial relationship connected to a product or service recommendation.

Which makes sense. You should know when there's a financial interest in something that's being recommended to you so you can make an informed buying decision.

A Simple Rule As You Navigate the Site

Rather than clutter every article with repeated disclosure statements, here's the easiest approach. If a link takes you to another website where you could purchase a product or service, assume it could be an affiliate link. Most won't be. Some will. Either way, the recommendation doesn't change.
