About First Journal Weekly

First Journal Weekly publishes short, practical articles about work and everyday skills. We write for readers who want a plain-language explanation before they spend their own time on something new — including a new method, a tool, or a training program.

How we work with advertisers

Some of the articles on this site, including our front-page feature, are paid promotional pieces commissioned by an advertiser. We label these clearly as "Advertorial" at the top of the piece. An advertorial still reflects our editorial voice and our own research into typical market rates and realistic claims, but it exists to promote a specific product or service, and the advertiser has paid for that placement.

We do not publish invented statistics, guaranteed-results promises, or fabricated testimonials in sponsored content, and every earnings example on this site is marked as illustrative rather than typical. You can read the full detail on our earnings disclaimer page.

Editorial standards

Wherever we describe what a skill, service or piece of work is worth, we aim to use typical market ranges rather than best-case numbers, and we mark every figure with an asterisk so it's clear it describes what clients commonly pay — not a promise of what any individual reader will achieve.
