Audience

Who is actually on the other side

Analytics plus an on-site reader survey (n = 1180, 2026-03). Intent matters more than raw size — that is the whole argument for this channel.

Deliverables

What actually lands

Deliverables, not adjectives. Each one is a thing that exists at the end of the engagement.

Full hands-on review

Long-form review on the site following the published methodology, permanently archived with a public changelog and a scheduled re-review date.

Screen-recorded walkthrough

Onboarding, core flow and cancellation path recorded end to end and published to YouTube, embedded in the review.

Newsletter placement

Feature in the weekly issue, or a standalone dedicated send. Labelled as sponsored above the fold when it is paid.

Comparison-table inclusion

Placement in the relevant evergreen comparison, with the same criteria applied as every other entry.

Attribution setup

Unique sub-ID per placement, S2S postback where supported, and a monthly reconciliation of my click logs against your reporting.

Performance reporting

Monthly report with traffic sources, device and geography splits, and page-level performance. Sent whether or not the numbers are good.

Past engagements

Three engagements, with the trade-off stated

Partners are anonymised until they give written permission to be named — claiming a relationship a company has not agreed to is a fabricated endorsement. References are supplied privately on request.

Personal financeQ3 2025 – Q1 2026

A Southeast Asian neobank

Launch a current account into a market where the category was dominated by incumbent banks and readers were sceptical of app-only providers.

  • Full 60-day account test published before any promotion ran
  • Fee-schedule comparison table against four incumbents, updated monthly
  • Newsletter feature plus a screen-recorded onboarding walkthrough
  • Unique sub-ID per placement so the partner could isolate my traffic

Invalid click rate

The trade-off: The review carried two named criticisms of the product that were never removed. Volume was lower than a pure-promotion placement would have produced; funded-rate and retention were materially higher.

SoftwareQ1 2026 – ongoing

A B2B SaaS platform (Series B)

Reach small teams evaluating a category where the buying decision hinges on migration risk rather than features.

  • Migrated a real 2,300-record dataset and published the failure points
  • Head-to-head comparison against the two tools readers were switching from
  • Answered the pricing-cliff objection openly rather than routing around it

The trade-off: Trial volume was roughly 40% below the partner's forecast. Trial-to-paid conversion ran about 2.5× their blended average, which is the trade this desk consistently makes.

ConsumerQ2 2025 – Q4 2025

A consumer subscription service

Reduce early churn caused by customers signing up with unrealistic expectations of how often they would use the service.

  • 34-week full-price test rather than a discounted first-box review
  • Published the real cost per used unit, including waste
  • Added a self-qualification test so poor-fit readers opted out before signing up

The trade-off: Deliberately discouraging poor-fit signups reduced raw volume. If your objective is top-of-funnel volume rather than retained customers, this desk is the wrong channel.

  • Performance / CPA partnerships through a network or direct
  • Hybrid deals: reduced flat fee plus revenue share
  • Long-term retainers for ongoing category coverage

Payment, invoicing and tax

Invoiced from a registered sole proprietorship (household business) in Socialist Republic of Vietnam. Tax documentation — W-8BEN, Local invoice (VAT-exempt)— is completed and returned within three business days of request. Standard terms are net 30; performance partnerships settle on the network’s own schedule.

Next step

Send the brief. Straight answer in a day.

Including “no”. If the product will not survive the methodology, you will hear that before either of us spends a month finding out.

Or read how disclosure works before you commit to anything.
