Advertiser Disclosure

Selfpaid is an independent personal finance publication for self-employed workers and 1099 contractors in the United States.

How we make money

Some articles on Selfpaid contain affiliate links. This means we may earn a commission if you click through and make a purchase or sign up for a service — at no additional cost to you. These commissions help us keep the site free and cover the cost of research, writing, and maintenance.

What this means for our editorial content

Advertiser relationships do not influence our editorial coverage. A product does not appear in our recommendations because a company paid for placement. Our writers — Marcus, Elena, and David — evaluate tools, services, and financial products based on independent research and, where possible, hands-on testing.

If we recommend a product we have an affiliate relationship with, we say so. If we don't recommend a product, we say that too — regardless of whether it pays us.

Affiliate partners

Current affiliate relationships include financial software providers, business banking platforms, and financial services companies relevant to the self-employed. This list changes over time. The presence of an affiliate relationship is disclosed inline where relevant.

No pay-to-play

Selfpaid does not accept payment for article placement, positive reviews, or editorial coverage of any kind. Sponsored content, if ever published, will be clearly labeled as such and kept separate from editorial content.
