This policy explains how Hustleworthy researches, writes, reviews, updates, and corrects content about online earning websites and apps.
Editorial mission
Our goal is to help readers make informed decisions by publishing clear, balanced, and useful information. Content should answer the reader's decision-making question, explain meaningful drawbacks, and avoid rankings created mainly to attract search traffic.
Editorial independence
Editorial ratings and rankings are decided by Hustleworthy, not by providers or advertisers.
Payment for advertising, a featured profile, or another commercial placement does not guarantee favorable coverage.
Sponsored content and advertisements must be visibly labeled.
Providers may submit factual corrections, but they cannot approve, suppress, or rewrite an independent editorial conclusion.
Any material relationship that could affect a reader's interpretation must be disclosed on the relevant page.
Sources and evidence
Time-sensitive claims should be supported by primary sources or documented testing wherever possible. Primary sources may include provider terms, help-center pages, official apps, payout screens, offer terms, and direct platform communications. Third-party reports and user experiences may add context, but they should not replace verification of a factual claim.
Every changing claim should record its source, country or region, retrieval date, and verification status. If sources disagree, the article should describe the disagreement or omit the claim until it can be resolved.
First-hand experience
A review must not imply that Hustleworthy personally tested a platform unless a named author actually performed and documented the test. First-hand claims should identify the test period, country, device, tasks attempted, time spent, money spent, amount credited, and whether a withdrawal was received. Screenshots should be retained as supporting evidence with personal information redacted.
Earnings claims
Do not present an advertised maximum as a typical or average result.
Distinguish gross rewards from net earnings after purchases, fees, subscriptions, and unpaid time.
State the country and test conditions when they materially affect the result.
Prefer a supported range over a precise universal figure.
Hide or label an estimate that has expired or cannot be reverified.
Never promise that a reader will reproduce another person's result.
Reviews and ratings
The displayed score, written verdict, comparison table, and structured data must use the same rating. Ratings should follow the published Review Methodology and should not be raised or lowered because of advertising. A platform with insufficient evidence may be listed as not yet rated or not yet tested.
Alternatives and ranked lists
Each alternatives page must have its own introduction, comparison baseline, selection method, candidate analysis, and conclusion. Platform descriptions stored in the database may supply neutral facts, but they must not be reused as page-specific editorial reasoning. A candidate should be recommended for a defined use case and accompanied by the limitation that may make it unsuitable.
User reviews
User submissions require moderation before publication.
- HTML, promotional links, copied editorial text, duplicate submissions, and automated or coordinated reviews should be rejected.
- A user review must not be represented as a Hustleworthy first-hand review.
- Aggregate ratings should include only approved reviews that meet the site's rules.
- Personal information and private proof should not be published without explicit permission.
Use of AI and automation
AI tools may assist with organization, transcription, grammar, data cleanup, duplicate detection, or summarizing source material. They must not invent a test, payout, quotation, author credential, user review, source, rating, or factual experience. Indexable content requires human review for accuracy, originality, sourcing, disclosure, and usefulness before publication.
Corrections and updates
Substantive corrections should be made when reliable evidence shows that published information is inaccurate or outdated. Minor spelling and formatting edits do not need a public note. A correction that materially changes a verdict, rating, ranking, earnings estimate, or safety conclusion should be disclosed on the page. The last-updated date should change only after a meaningful content or fact-checking update.
Conflicts of interest
Folasade Oluwagbenga should disclose any financial, personal, employment, ownership, or close professional relationship with a reviewed provider. When a conflict could reasonably undermine independence, the affected review should be reassigned, independently reviewed, or withheld.
