A small, independent publication carries weight only as far as its standards go. This page is the public commitment behind every article we publish.
ModernEarner is an editorial publication for people building income in the modern world — solopreneurs, freelancers, remote workers, and Filipinos earning online. We publish reviews, comparisons, and guides about software tools, financial services, and gadgets relevant to that audience.
We are not a human review lab. We don’t have a team of testers or paid product evaluators, and we don’t have private relationships with the companies we cover. We speak from documented public sources, not from hands-on experience we don’t have. Phrases like “we tested,” “in our experience,” “our team found,” or “users told us” are not part of our editorial vocabulary.
Every article cites its sources. Pricing, fees, features, and dates are tied to the company’s official documentation, public changelogs, or other verifiable sources. Each article carries a “Last updated” date so you know how fresh the information is. When we’re not confident about a specific claim, we say so plainly rather than dressing speculation as fact.
Every review or comparison on ModernEarner includes a section that names the negatives — what we won’t pretend doesn’t exist:
Marketing-only takes — articles that only list strengths — are not published.
We will never invent named user quotes (“Sarah from Texas told us…”), cite “one reader,” “one user,” or “a subscriber” as the source of a quote, or fabricate reader emails or interviews. If we don’t have a real testimonial with a real, verifiable source, we do not invent one.
We will never write “Cursor told us,” “Beehiiv confirmed to ModernEarner,” or any phrasing that implies a company gave us a private statement. We have no such relationships and we will not pretend we do.
We will never write “guaranteed income,” “you will earn $X,” “risk-free returns,” “no risk,” “passive income forever,” “get rich quick,” or specific income-multiplier promises. These violate FTC standards and we don’t publish them.
We will not call a named brand “a scam,” “fraudulent,” or “criminal,” and we will not accuse a named brand of stealing data, defrauding users, or being sued unless we cite a specific, public, verifiable source. We describe documented behavior. We do not editorialize as crime.
When we’re making an inference rather than citing a documented fact, we hedge it explicitly (“the pricing structure suggests…,” “based on documented behavior…,” “if you scale beyond X, you may hit…”). Speculation presented as fact is not published.
ModernEarner is reader-supported. We earn affiliate commissions when readers sign up for products through links on our site. This is disclosed:
Affiliate relationships do not change our editorial output. The honest-negatives section (hidden costs, lock-in, who should avoid) appears on every review of every partner, including partners that pay us commission. We do not silently soften a review because the company pays better.
When our articles cite specific income figures (e.g., “$5,000/month,” “₱200k/mo”), the article carries an earnings disclaimer. Standard language:
Individual results vary. Income figures cited are illustrative based on documented public sources. This is not financial or investment advice.
We are not licensed financial advisors. Articles about money, investing, banking, or remittance are informational, not personalized advice. Always do your own research and, for material decisions, consult a licensed professional.
If you find an error — a stale price, a misquoted feature, an outdated source — we want to fix it. Email us at hello@modernearner.com with the article URL and the correction. When we update an article, we update the “Last updated” date.
For substantial corrections (factual changes, not typos), we add a dated correction note to the bottom of the affected article.
If you are a brand or individual mentioned on ModernEarner and you believe content about you is factually wrong, misleading, defamatory, or infringes your intellectual property, contact us at hello@modernearner.com with:
We review every good-faith request within 5 business days. When the complaint is substantiated, we correct, retract, or remove the content. We do not require legal threats to fix factual errors.
ModernEarner content is AI-assisted. Drafts are produced by AI tools and then reviewed against the standards on this page before publication. Every claim of fact is tied to a verifiable public source.
Most affiliate publications hide the conflict and skip the negatives. We don’t. The standards on this page are part of what makes a publication trustworthy, and we’d rather state them plainly than hope readers infer them.
