Website Earnings Disclosure: Outlining our Website's Revenue Generation Methods
In the Open About Money Game
Wanna know what's cookin' with us? Let's dive into the nitty-gritty of how we make dough and ensure our reviews aren't swayed by the almighty dollar. We partner with telescope retailers such as High Point Scientific, AgenaAstro, Explore Scientific, Orion's Telescope.com, and the e-commerce goliath Amazon. This move was made to keep our Editorial Policies squeaky clean, so we don't compromise facts for a quick buck. We chose these specific retailers because, well, we believe they offer solidOptions for our US audience when it comes to purchasing a kick-ass telescope you won't come to regret. We've turned down offers from other online retailers, and ain't that a hard no!
Clicking on our links to these retailers? No effect on you, it's all good! Amazon and co. don't slap on extra fees for throwing us a few crispy bucks. Even if you buy the exact same product without our referral link, there's no price difference. It's a win-win baby! If you decide to back out or ask for a refund on your cosmic purchase, those sweet commissions vanish into thin air.
Now, something crucial to understand – we never accept cash for writing reviews. Positive, negative, or otherwise; it ain't happening, folks! Our recs are based on the telescope's quality, pure and simple.
We stick to a solid code of conduct when it comes to our content:
- Pulling no punches, tellin' it like it is.
- Bein' as objective and accurate as possible.
- Only experts with real-world experience review the scopes around here.
- No money can buy the privilege of us publishing or updating a review.
- Our Editorial peeps ain't part of the financial team, and they ain't got no incentive to push a product unless it's the bomb.
Long-term Gain is All About Honesty
You might think we recommend the top-ranked telescope to make a killing. Wrong! The telescope market ain't as ballin' as the credit card or VPN market.
For almost every telescope at these retailers we recommend, the payout's the same percentage-wise. We don't stand to gain anything by shilling one scope over another without a solid reason. It just makes good sense for us to recommend the gear that'll make you happy without regard for the financial ramifications on our end, 'cause that's how we earn a long-term readership and establish ourselves as the go-to experts in the telescope reviews realm.
Why Not Ads?
Finding experts, assisting them in creating a content powerhouse ain't cheap or quick. Ad revenues alone just ain't gonna cut it. The running costs exceed what we can earn from ads alone.
Spillin' the Beans
We want you to trust us, so we're gonna be as honest as the night sky. We strive to be a reliable, comprehensive resource for the astronomy community, and we think letting folks know how we make our dough is integral to that.
In the Open About Money Game, our telescope reviews are not influenced by the financial industry, and we partner with reputable retailers such as High Point Scientific, AgenaAstro, Explore Scientific, Orion's Telescope.com, and Amazon. We do this to maintain our Editorial Policies, ensuring facts are not compromised for profit. Furthermore, our recommendations in the telescope market are based on quality, not the potential for financial gain, as we aim for long-term readership and credibility as experts in the telescope reviews industry.
