Dear Srajan, I keep seeing reviews you syndicate with fairaudio and HifiKnights and was curious how this works. There's obvious work involved to translate and reformat the original text and pictures. Who pays for that? Lucas
It's very simple, Lucas. As with everything 6moons, readers pay nothing so the manufacturers do so instead. Only readers inhaling ozone or trust-fund babies think that we can do all that work for free. If a manufacturer wants me to republish a review on a site we collaborate with, they pay us a fixed one-time fee. That covers my work and time plus the licensing fee I pay to the copyright holder as the review's original author. That's it. Srajan
Thank you, Srajan. I figured it had to be something like that. Lucas
It's the way of the real world where people get paid to work. In today's publishing, it could be ads, fees, subscriptions, Patreon or a combination thereof. There's also the hobbyist publisher who can afford to do it just for fun; because he or she maintains a paying main job; or because they live comfortably in retirement already. I work at 6moons full-time so that's my one and only paying job. I feel very lucky that it's supported my wife and I for going on 20 years. We don't need that much so I keep my site accessible to smaller younger manufacturers who just have a small marketing budget. Srajan
