The reason I love what I do is that I can be honest with you. With this blog, my YouTube channel and even my social channels I try follow international best practice and therefore if something is sponsored I disclose it.
Here are a few things you might want to know:
- I am currently partnered with Logitech G and Vox Gaming in South Africa. I am a freelance writer for Red Bull and write esports and gaming content for them that lives on their website.
- If I am paid to create content or promote an event the blog post will be marked at #SPONSORED in the category section of the post. The YouTube video will be marked as #SPONSORED in the bottom left or right hand corner and is also included in the description. Social posts that have been paid for will include #ad or #sponsored at the end of the post.
- If I am sent an item to keep or offered a paid for experience I will mark the content as #GIFTED – to clarify this means I DID NOT receive monetary support but did receive the item or experience at no cost to myself.
- I’d like to think that you’ll realise that if I’m working an esports event, hosting a corporate event/MCing and have been announced as the talent, you are aware that money is changing hands and I don’t need to disclose this. But now I have, so you know.
- I am regularly sent products to review. The majority of these products are review units meaning I DO NOT KEEP THEM and they are returned to the company. However, to ensure full clarity there is a section as the bottom of posts with full disclosure. If I’m keeping the product, I’ll tell you. If I’m sent on a paid for trip, I’ll tell you. If I used my own device or paid for the game myself, I’ll tell you.
I’m honest about what is going on here. I consider you and everyone else who engages with my content, a community.
If you have any questions or concerns please contact me so I can address them.
