Our Commitment to Transparency
At AI Champion, operated by Employ AI Pty Ltd (ABN: 21 672 202 612), trading as AI Orchestrator, we believe in complete transparency about our affiliate relationships. This statement explains how we may earn commissions from certain product and service recommendations.
1. What Are Affiliate Links?
Affiliate links are special tracking links that allow us to earn a commission when you purchase a product or service through our recommendation. When you click on an affiliate link and make a purchase, we may receive a percentage of the sale at no additional cost to you.
The price you pay remains exactly the same whether you use our affiliate link or go directly to the product website. You are never charged extra for using our links.
2. Where You'll Find Affiliate Links
We may include affiliate links in various places throughout AI Champion, including:
- Chapter 10: Resources and Tools - Where we recommend AI tools, platforms, and services
- Course Materials - When suggesting specific software or resources
- Blog Posts and Articles - When discussing tools and services
- Email Communications - When sharing relevant products with our community
- Community Resources - In our shared resource lists
3. Affiliate Programmes We Participate In
We may participate in various affiliate programmes, including but not limited to:
- AI Tool Providers - ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and other AI platforms
- Software Services - Productivity tools, project management software, design tools
- Educational Platforms - Online course providers, learning resources

4. Our Recommendation Standards
We maintain strict standards for all our recommendations, whether they include affiliate links or not:
We Only Recommend What We Believe In
Every product or service we recommend must meet our quality standards. We base our recommendations on:
- Personal Experience - We test and use tools ourselves whenever possible
- Community Feedback - We listen to our users' experiences
- Research and Evaluation - We thoroughly research products before recommending
- Educational Value - The tool must genuinely help with AI orchestration and learning
- Quality and Reliability - We only recommend reputable, reliable services
Affiliate Status Doesn't Influence Our Recommendations
Whether or not a product has an affiliate programme does not determine if we recommend it. We regularly recommend products and services that do not offer affiliate commissions simply because they're the best option for our community.
5. Your Choice Matters
Using our affiliate links is entirely optional. You have complete freedom to:
- Click our affiliate links and support our work
- Navigate directly to product websites without using our links
- Compare prices and features across different providers
- Make your own independent purchasing decisions
- Use free alternatives when available
The educational content, frameworks, and methodologies we teach are not dependent on any affiliate relationship. Our mission to democratise AI literacy remains unchanged regardless of affiliate earnings.
6. How Affiliate Commissions Support Our Mission
Affiliate commissions help support AI Champion by:
- Funding ongoing content creation and updates
- Enabling us to test and evaluate new AI tools
- Supporting community resources and infrastructure
- Allowing us to provide free educational content
- Helping maintain and improve our platform
