Social Skills Course

Affiliate Disclosure

Last updated: June 2025

Social Skills Course is committed to full transparency. This page explains how we earn revenue, how affiliate relationships work, and how we maintain editorial integrity in our recommendations.

How We Earn Revenue

Social Skills Course is a free resource. We earn revenue through affiliate partnerships with online course platforms. When you click a course link on our site and subsequently enrol or subscribe on the partner platform, we may earn a commission from that platform.

This comes at absolutely no additional cost to you. The price you pay is identical whether you access the platform directly or through our affiliate links.

Our Affiliate Partners

We currently participate in affiliate programs with the following platforms:

  • Mindvalley — Communication, charisma, confidence, and personal growth courses
  • MasterClass — Expert-led courses in negotiation, communication, leadership, and personal branding
  • Studio.com — Practical programmes for social confidence and authentic connection
  • BBC Maestro — Public speaking, influence, and advanced communication skills

What Happens When You Click a Link

  1. You click a course link on Social Skills Course (e.g., "Start Course" or a link in your Skill Stack PDF)
  2. You are redirected to the third-party platform's website via our affiliate tracking link
  3. A cookie or tracking parameter is set by the platform to attribute the referral
  4. If you make a purchase within the attribution window, we receive a commission from the platform

The exact commission rate varies by platform and programme. We do not disclose specific rates as they are subject to confidential partner agreements.

Our Editorial Integrity Promise

Affiliate relationships never influence our editorial content. Here is what we guarantee:

  • Independent Ratings: Our Social Skills Ratings are assessed independently based on course quality, instructor expertise, production value, and alignment with our 3-stage framework — not commission rates
  • Honest Reviews: We publish genuine assessments including "Skip If" disclaimers and "Not Ideal For" notes for every course
  • Quality Over Commission: We recommend courses based on quality and fit for the user's growth stage, not based on which platform pays the highest commission
  • Inclusive Approach: We include and review courses that may not have active affiliate programmes if they serve your personal development
  • Transparent Disclosure: All outbound course links are affiliate links. We will always clearly disclose this

AI Recommendations

Our AI Social Skills Guide recommends courses based on your stated goals and the course data in our catalogue. The AI does not weigh commission rates, affiliate status, or revenue potential when generating recommendations. Its sole purpose is to match you with the most relevant courses for your social skills development.

FTC Compliance

In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines and equivalent regulations in other jurisdictions, we disclose that Social Skills Course receives compensation through affiliate links. This disclosure applies to all pages and features of the Site where affiliate links are present, including:

  • Course detail pages and course cards
  • The Skill Stack sidebar and exported PDF
  • AI assistant course recommendations
  • Blog and awareness articles that reference specific courses
  • Comparison tools and category pages

Your Trust Matters

Our business model depends on your trust. If we ever recommended a course solely because of its affiliate payout, we would undermine the very foundation that makes Social Skills Course valuable. Our readers come first — always.

We believe in the social skills courses, communication methods, and personal development approaches featured on this site. Many of our team members have personally taken the courses we review. Our mission is to guide you toward courses that genuinely improve your social confidence.
