Editorial Principles & Independence

Here are some of the core editorial principles of WebMonkey:

  • All of our content is created by experts in the online entrepreneurship space with years of writing/journalist experience. Our team is also composed of writers who specialize in different niches based on their work and personal experiences. This helps to better-serve our readers with expert content that shares personal experiences and knowledge, not just dry facts from around the Internet.
  • All content is fact-checked and edited before going live.
  • All content is original.
  • We continuously monitor the content on our site and make updates to keep content factual and relevant for readers.
  • We disclose the partners we work with and how we make money. Furthermore, partnerships don't influence our reviews or editorial content in any way, and we have full control over ratings and reviews.
  • All of the content on our site is objective and reflects the opinions, research, and experiences of our writers and editors.
  • We never accept payment for favorable reviews, and we don't recommend products or services we don't use ourselves or believe in.

Review Methodology

At WebMonkeu, a lot of our content focuses on reviewing money-making apps, side hustle ideas, and ideas to make or save money by using various online tools.

Here are the steps we take to ensure all our reviews are in-depth, objective, and provide first-hand accounts to help readers make the right choice for them:

  1. Primary Research: We test all products, apps, and services we review at WebMonkey. This usually involves signing up for an app or website or trying out a side hustle to then share our experiences with readers. Our writers also lean on their personal experience within various niches to share first-hand accounts with readers.
  2. Secondary Research: To supplement primary research for our reviews, we also rely on data and testimonials from sources like Reddit, Quora, Trustpilot, the Better Business Bureau, the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and other public databases. We also use YouTube content and blog content from other niche experts to solidify our reviews.
  3. Expert Interviews: For some content, we interview additional subject-matter experts for their first-hand accounts.
  4. Continual Updates: We regularly check our review content to ensure information is up-to-date and factual. We also update review scores over time to reflect material changes.

It's our goal to go one step further than your average review. This means actually testing the products and services on this site and relying on as much additional data to support our content.

When scoring our reviews, some of the main factors our editors and writers consider include price, ease-of-use, customer support, reward options, ease of cashing out, and company transparency.

Correction Policy & Fact Checking

All content is fact-checked by editors before going live. However, information can become out-of-date even with our frequent updates. If you notice any incorrect information, please use our Contact Page to get in touch!
