How We Fund The Tarot Academy

The Tarot Academy provides free tarot education through our nine-lesson curriculum, 78-card reference library, Complete Tarot Guide, and other resources. Producing and maintaining this content requires significant time and expertise.

To support our operations, we participate in affiliate programs with some of the online tarot reading platforms reviewed in our Best Online Tarot Reading Sites guide. When you visit a platform through our site and make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you.

What This Means for You

• You never pay more. Our affiliate relationships do not increase the price you pay on any platform. The rates you see are the same rates available to all users.
• Our reviews are independent. Affiliate commissions do not influence our rankings, ratings, or editorial content. Platforms cannot pay for higher placement or more favorable reviews. Our rankings are determined solely by our evaluation methodology.
• We review platforms we do not have affiliate relationships with. If a platform deserves inclusion in our guide based on quality, we include it regardless of whether we earn a commission.
• We disclose affiliate relationships. When a platform in our guide participates in an affiliate program with us, we identify this relationship transparently.

Our Editorial Standards

Every platform review in our guide is based on hands-on testing, structured evaluation criteria, and analysis of user feedback. We conduct multiple test readings on each platform, evaluate customer support, analyze pricing structures, and assess user experience quality. The full details of our evaluation process are documented on our methodology page.

We are committed to providing honest, useful information that helps our students make informed decisions. If we discover that a previously-recommended platform has declined in quality, we update our review to reflect the change — regardless of any financial relationship.

FTC Compliance

This disclosure is made in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's guidelines on endorsements and testimonials. We believe in full transparency about any material connections between our content and the services we recommend.

Questions

If you have any questions about our affiliate relationships, editorial independence, or disclosure practices, we welcome your inquiry. Transparency is not just a legal requirement for us — it is a reflection of the same ethical principles we teach in our curriculum.
