Required FTC Disclosure: BookIntelReport.com participates in affiliate advertising programmes. When you click certain links on this site and make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. This helps fund the platform and keeps our intelligence reports available at competitive prices. We only recommend books and tools we genuinely believe are useful to self-published authors.
1. Amazon Associates Programme
BookIntelReport.com is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Programme, an affiliate advertising programme designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com.
Our Amazon affiliate tag is seperts-20. When you click an Amazon link on this site and purchase a product within 24 hours, we may receive a small commission. The price you pay is not affected by this arrangement.

3. Our Editorial Independence
Affiliate relationships do not influence our editorial content, report methodology, or book recommendations. We select books based on their relevance and value to self-published authors — not on commission rates. We would recommend the same titles regardless of whether an affiliate programme existed.
The core service — manuscript intelligence reports — is entirely independent of any affiliate arrangement. Report scores, keyword recommendations, and category analysis are generated solely by our AI engine based on your manuscript content.
4. How Affiliate Links Are Identified
Affiliate links on this site are not always individually labelled, but this disclosure page serves as a site-wide notice in compliance with the United States Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines under 16 CFR Part 255. By using this site, you acknowledge that some links may be affiliate links as described in this disclosure.
If you have any questions about whether a specific link is an affiliate link, please contact us.
5. Data Shared with Affiliate Networks
When you click an affiliate link, the destination platform (Amazon or Bookshop.org) may set cookies and collect data about your visit in accordance with their own privacy policies. We do not receive personally identifiable information from these platforms — only aggregate commission reports.
