The disclaimer.
Plain English. What this site is. What it isn't. Affiliate stuff, educational stuff, and where to get real advice.
For educational purposes only
Everything on anthonytran.ai, including blog posts, YouTube videos, newsletter emails, and downloads, is for educational and informational purposes only. I share what I'm building, what's working, and what isn't. You get to decide what applies to you.
I write and record from my own experience as a longtime marketer, Air Force officer, and one-person operator. That's the lens. Your situation is different from mine.
I am not a professional
Nothing on this site is:
- Legal advice. If you need a contract reviewed, an LLC set up, or a trademark filed, talk to a lawyer.
- Financial advice. If you're making decisions about investments, taxes, or how to run your business money, talk to a CPA or a financial advisor.
- Medical or mental health advice. I sometimes talk about burnout and recovery. That's my story, not a treatment plan. If you're struggling, please talk to a qualified professional.
- Career or HR advice. Employment situations vary wildly. Get proper counsel for yours.
I'm a marketer sharing what I do. I'm not a licensed anything. Consult the right professional before making decisions that matter.
Affiliate links
Some links on this site are affiliate links. That means if you click the link and buy something, the vendor may pay me a small commission. You pay the same price either way. It costs you nothing extra.
Here's how I handle it:
- I only link to tools I actually use. If I'm not using it, it's not here.
- I'll tell you when a link is affiliate. You'll see a note near the link itself or at the top of the post.
- Commissions don't change my opinion. If a tool has flaws, I'll say so in the same breath I recommend it.
- I may also link to non-affiliate versions for tools that don't have an affiliate program, or where I'd rather you just go direct.
This disclosure is required by the FTC's endorsement guides. I'd tell you anyway.
Testimonials and examples
If I share a result, a screenshot, or a story, that's one person's experience. It's not a promise of what you'll get. Individual results depend on your work, your audience, your timing, and a hundred things I can't control from over here.
Sponsorships and paid partnerships
If I ever run a paid sponsorship on this site, in a video, or in the newsletter, it will be clearly labeled. Words like "sponsored," "paid partnership," or "in partnership with" will be right there in the content. No hidden ads.
External links
This site links out to other websites, tools, podcasts, and resources. I don't control those sites. Their content, their policies, and their behavior are their own. If something's off with a linked site, that's on them, not me.
Your results
I try to share what's working and what isn't, honestly. But I can't guarantee your results. Building an audience, launching a personal brand, or using AI to build a business takes work, time, and a bunch of variables that are unique to you. No shortcuts were promised, because none exist.
Accuracy and opinions
I check my work. I fact-check claims about tools, dates, and data. Still, tools update, stats go stale, and I'm one person. If you spot something wrong, tell me. I'll fix it.
Opinions on this site are mine. They don't represent any employer, past or present. They don't represent any brand I've worked with. Just me.
Changes to this disclaimer
I'll update this page when things change. The "Last updated" date at the top gets bumped. Material changes will also get mentioned in the newsletter.
