About Us
Our readers always come first
The content on DollarSprout includes links to our advertising partners. When you read our content and click on one of our partners’ links, and then decide to complete an offer — whether it’s downloading an app, opening an account, or some other action — we may earn a commission from that advertiser, at no extra cost to you.
Our ultimate goal is to educate and inform, not lure you into signing up for certain offers. Compensation from our partners may impact what products we cover and where they appear on the site, but does not have any impact on the objectivity of our reviews or advice.
DollarSprout exists to help people maximize their earnings, whether through side hustles, gig work, online businesses, or smart investing strategies. Founded in 2015, DollarSprout has grown from a modest blog run by two college friends into a trusted resource for millions of readers looking for actionable advice to improve their financial futures.
