Our Editorial Principles

✓ Experience-Based Content

We only write about topics we have direct experience with. Every strategy, tip, and recommendation comes from real-world application, not just research or theory.

✓ Accuracy & Honesty

We fact-check all claims and statistics. When we share results (like "save 10-20 hours per week"), these come from actual user experiences. If something is our opinion, we say so clearly.

✓ Transparency About Our Product

StickyHive is a community management tool. When we mention StickyHive in articles, we're transparent that it's our product. We also recommend alternative solutions when they might be a better fit for certain use cases.

✓ No Paid Content

We don't accept payment for reviews, mentions, or sponsored content. All recommendations are based on genuine experience and merit.

✓ Regular Updates

Community platforms evolve, and so does our content. We regularly review and update articles to ensure accuracy. Each article displays a "Last Updated" date so you know how current the information is.
