EDITORIAL METHOD
How We Rate Earning Platforms
Commission is never the deciding factor. We care about clarity, US relevance, time-to-reward and whether the platform is useful to readers.
WHAT MATTERS
- Clarity
- US relevance
- Time-to-reward
Record official details, terms and what still needs verifying.
Organise the details readers actually care about.
Flag old information instead of letting it quietly rot.
Paying EarnDeck does not buy #1.
Commercial status and editorial usefulness are separate. A platform can pay us nothing and still deserve a strong listing.
We do not invent guaranteed earnings.
Survey availability varies by person and day. We prefer verified facts over an impressive-looking number.
Old information gets flagged.
Last-checked dates make maintenance visible in admin so stale claims can be reviewed.
Facts can be challenged.
Platforms and readers can send corrections without needing a commercial relationship.
