And I am back.....

14 May 2017

I just got back from a small few day vacation so much going on... And while on vacation I get the email notification I got in on one of the Road Tested I applied for.... Super stoked about it!

 

So going to have fun with that once it arrives on the 17th of May here.

 

I got a email yesterday as well from a cad/slicer cloud company that wants me to do a review on their product for youtube.  Which is not a problem but doing it for free on a trial software license doesn't sound good in my book.  I would need more then 30 days with any given software due to my time consumption in other projects.

 

What's anyone's thoughts of doing reviews for other companies that well basically get the review for free with no real compensation for you? unlike the road test where the product is basically yours to mess about with.

 

Would be interested in if people pursue these companies or if you would avoid them?

 

Well back to work just took a quick break here.

    If something makes for a good article then that's also a good reason to take it. e.g. Fitting the shed skylight - Workshopshed

    For me it depends on what is being offered, a years subscription to some software I won't use is less valuable than a metal punch that I can keep and use once or twice a year.

    Ya that's pretty close to what I was thinking as well, but I need more content on my YouTube Channel so will probably go ahead with it for now check the software out and see if its really something that…

    It seems a lot of CAD software is available with free trial periods. You can evaluate anything of interest to you to increase content on your channel. I suspect you could get a trial version of almost anything if you promised to do a review.
