Don’t treat me like a prostitute

You can’t buy a link on our website for something we don’t honestly endorse

Full disclosure: We have affiliate relationships with a lot of companies, and you’ll find links to their products on our website. These are products we use and companies we are proud to endorse.

At present, we don’t accept paid advertising. And we don’t include links to products we don’t use and recommend.

Recently we received an email from the PR person for a company that offers an online video editing tool. Here’s a portion of her email:

I was doing a bit of research when I stumbled upon this article on your site about “10 Tips to Create Videos Your Viewers will Watch, Like and Share” and noticed that it mentioned cutting out your mistakes.

Wanted to know whether it would be possible to get our video editing tool linked or mentioned?

Whatever kind of business video you need, you can do it with [product name deleted]. Our powerful range of editing tools will allow you to create awesome, professional-looking videos. Our servers run on 100% Renewable Energy, so you don’t have to worry about environmental impact as well.
