I have been blogging for over TWELVE YEARS, and there is one thing that grinds my gears above all else. That is SPAM, and I get it All the Time. Klap, the clips repurposing tool, is really about it for example. They must have hired some marketing team or something because I literally got bombarded by six different people from them over the course of a week and half. To add their tool to my various 🔧 OmniChannel Content tool posts.

Now there has been maybe like two occasions where a tool politely asked if I had tried them yet. They gave me access, and I had the time to try them out. In which case I wrote about them, for example FlexClip Review. Although I never really heard from them after that.

There other situations where I might have connected with a company for a youtube video, and in the deal or in my own way of showing support I wrote about them.

Although I do NOT offer these types of backlinks for sale, I do not respond to getting asked for backlinks like this, and to be completely honest when you randomly email me for it; Then you often get blacklisted from my site.

I get these kinds of emails every single week, and oftentimes multiple times a week.

This was like the fourth email they sent me without any prompting by me.

I know this is just how the game goes when you're a blogger, and that I am not the only one. However I do not give out my email for a reason, which means if you are randomly emailing me, then you must have scrapped it off of something.

This "Stephen" fellow pinged me 3-4 times without any response. I finally sent an email back stating "f*** off". Although that was probably a bad idea, as it probably told them that the email is "live".

I never asked to collab.

Not only do I pretty much never ASK to collab with companies, it only ever happens naturally like with OpusClip or Nuelink.

It also doesn't help that you are literally begging and bugging me to respond.

Granted I know they are just fishing for any sort of reply from thousands of people. However I wanted to make this post today because I want to have something to send to people when this happens.

I LOVE tools, and especially in particular tools for creators. Thus I often write about them, and since I've been doing it for so long my SEO often competes with those tools in discoverability.

I have a few dozen tool posts lined up that I need to finish. Meaning I'm going to keep writing about tools, but if you spam me you're just going to get ignored. Quso or Vidyo whatever want to call them. Is a pretty shitty company, and they blatantly copied Recast Studio and OpusClip on more than one occasion.

They often reach out to me across mediums, despite me telling them no more than once, and the fact that I publicly announce that I am a partner with Opus.

Am I going to look at other clipping tools? Absolutely, and Opus knows this. If anything they support it because they know that they are the top tool in the space.

I personally try to go for an agnostic approach to my tool based content, as I want you to find what is best for the person reading.

I am not going to write a post about some tool I've never used simply because you decided to email me one extra time.

I don't sell links.

I don't mind being sponsored, but spamming my email will not get you anywhere.

If you want to work together, then DON'T do what these guys did (at the top).

Thank you.
