And why people trust Reddit advice
When I’m researching products or services, I’ll often find “Reddit” as a suggested search. If you go to Google and start searching “Best website …” Google suggests adding reddit to the end of your search.
Long story short, Reddit offers a lot of honest user reviews that aren’t influenced by affiliate payments.
Why do people trust Reddit reviews?
If you’ve never visited Reddit, you need to know that redditors are brutally honest.
Most people are anonymous, and they’re not afraid to tell you what they really think.
This is the opposite of what you’ll find when you Google how to build a website. The top search results are filled with affiliate bloggers trying to make an extra buck.
Website-related affiliates are especially lucrative because most of the programs are recurring payments. If you refer someone to a hosting platform or email marketing, you’ll get an affiliate payment every month, which is better than the one-time payments.
