At Dividend Europe, we preach passive income — and we damn well practice it. Here’s the raw breakdown of how we fund our rebellion against mediocre investment advice.
Our commitment to readers is that our editorial decisions remain independent. Partner agreements don’t influence our content or recommendations, unless stated. Your trust is our priority.
1. Affiliate Links
- What it is: Some external links earn us a small commission if you buy through them.
- Our rule: We only recommend products and services we like and would pay for ourselves. If it’s trash, we’ll say so.
2. Sponsored Content
- What it is: Brands pay us to write about agreed topics.
- Our rule: We control the narrative. No puff pieces. No BS. If we take their money, you’ll know — and you’ll still get our unfiltered take.
3. Partner Content
- What it is: Content fully written and funded by partners (think: special reports, product launches).
- Our rule: It’s labeled clearly. We don’t endorse it unless it’s legit.
4. Featured Offers
- What it is: Sponsored product comparisons (e.g., “Top 5 Investing Apps”).
- Our rule: Placement is paid, but the selection itself aren’t. If a tool sucks, it won’t make the list — even if they write a check.
5. Display Ads
- What it is: Ads on the site.
- Our rule: No auto-play videos with sound. No pop-unders. No “get rich quick” scams. We’ll ban brands that annoy you.
6. Paid Newsletter (launching soon)
- What it is: Premium content for subscribers.
- Our rule: No paywalls on fundamentals. Paid tier = advanced analysis only.
The Fine Print (That Actually Matters)
- We don’t play favorites: Money doesn’t buy praise. We’ve turned down sponsors for shoddy products.
- Transparency is non-negotiable: Sponsored? Partnered? Affiliate? We’ll slap a label on it.
- Your trust funds our rebellion: If we lose credibility, we lose everything.
We’re funded to stay independent, not to sell out. Question our motives? Good. We’ll keep earning your trust — one post at a time.
— Founder’s Note: “I’d shut this down before promoting something I wouldn’t use. Sleep fine at night.”
