As emphasized in Module 48, you must personally use and vet any gear or educational platform you recommend. If you've never used a specific plugin, you cannot authentically review it. If you haven't taken a course, you cannot genuinely recommend it. Your personal experience is the foundation of your authority and the credibility of your affiliate links. If a company sends you free gear for review, you must disclose that as well.
