What an accepted project can include
We agree on the intended coverage before a product ships. A standard sample-based feature can often be arranged without a separate editorial fee when the unit is provided for us to keep. Loaned products and larger production scopes are handled case by case.
Original photo and video
Useful product imagery and short-form footage created from the unit in hand, not a repackaged manufacturer gallery.
Relevant guide consideration
The product can be added as a reviewed option where it genuinely fits an existing comparison or buying guide.
A direct path to purchase
We welcome reliable affiliate programs with accurate tracking, sensible attribution, and current product destinations.
From proposal to publication
We keep the handoff short so a useful product does not disappear into a long pitch process. The exact deliverables and timing are written down before shipping.
