How Exit Signal Makes Money

Our business model should be as clear as our advice.

Referral relationships

Exit Signal may earn referral fees from approved transaction partners when users choose to transact through our links or introductions and the partner’s own eligibility conditions are met. Today, that includes Empire Flippers: if you use our Empire Flippers referral link and later complete an eligible transaction with Empire Flippers, Exit Signal may earn a referral fee.

Referral fees are paid by the partner under its own program terms. Partners independently decide eligibility, valuation, fees, vetting, and acceptance.

Affiliate relationships

In the future, some tools, services, or resources we recommend may use compensated (affiliate) links. We will say so next to the recommendation itself, not only on this page.

What compensation does not determine

Whether or not we are paid, compensation does not determine:

  • the evidence we use
  • our factual conclusions
  • qualification facts
  • whether limitations and tradeoffs are disclosed
  • whether we recommend an option that pays us nothing

How resources are evaluated

  1. Problem first: start from the owner’s problem, not from a product or a commission.
  2. Evidence: what is known, what is claimed, and what is unverified.
  3. Fit: who it is for, and who it is not for.
  4. Tradeoffs: costs, limitations, and risks.
  5. Alternatives: including options with no affiliate relationship.
  6. Last verification: when the information was last checked.

Disclosure standard

This page explains our overall business model. It does not replace a disclosure next to a specific link. Wherever a link, tool, or introduction could pay Exit Signal, a short disclosure appears near that link or recommendation.

Corrections and updates

Partner programs, marketplace rules, products, and evidence change. We refresh content as they do, and articles show when they were last verified. If you think something on this site is wrong or out of date, email danny@getexitsignal.com.
