01

SOCIAL GETS ATTENTION.

A creator-led post puts your product in front of people while they're paying attention — then the feed moves on.

02

EDITORIAL CREATES DISCOVERY.

A page on BestCreates keeps working. It's read by creators searching for exactly what you sell, long after a post scrolls away.

03

AFFILIATE CAPTURES PERFORMANCE.

Tracked links across the pages a buyer actually reads, so the attention and the discovery both have somewhere to land.

Most sponsored posts disappear from the feed within a day. BestCreates pairs creator distribution with evergreen editorial and affiliate attribution, so the campaign keeps earning attention after the post stops.

// THE FIT

The Creator Tools + Technology publication in The Best Network.

BestCreates publishes independent reviews and comparisons of creator tools for video, design, newsletters, monetization, AI and content creation — to help creators find tools worth paying for. Readers arrive mid-decision, with a shortlist and a card in hand.

  • VIDEO TOOLS
  • DESIGN SOFTWARE
  • CREATOR AI
  • PODCAST SOFTWARE
  • NEWSLETTER PLATFORMS
  • MONETIZATION TOOLS
  • SOCIAL MEDIA TOOLS
  • CREATOR COMMERCE
  • CONTENT CREATION SOFTWARE
WHERE PARTNERS SHOW UP
// THE DISTRIBUTION LAYER

Carlos Gil is the human in front of the campaign.

Carlos writes and edits BestCreates and carries the campaigns himself on LinkedIn and YouTube. That's the difference between a placement and a partnership: a named person with a point of view puts your product in front of an audience that already listens to him about software.

  • LINKEDIN TOP VOICE
  • BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE END OF MARKETING
  • FORMER LINKEDIN MARKETER
  • GLOBAL KEYNOTE SPEAKER
  • B2B CREATOR AND MARKETING STRATEGIST

Three publications. One editor. No forced bundles.

Larger campaigns combine the publication that fits your product with Carlos's LinkedIn and YouTube, plus the newsletters where the audience matches — Bad Marketing, Inbox Gold and Humans Required. We won't put a brand on a property it doesn't belong on, and we'll say so before you spend.

EDITORIAL INDEPENDENCE

PAID PARTNERSHIPS FUND CONTENT — NOT THE VERDICT.

  • Brands cannot purchase a positive review.
  • Brands cannot purchase a favorable score.
  • Brands cannot purchase a guaranteed ranking.
  • Brands cannot purchase a guaranteed recommendation.
  • Sponsored features are clearly labeled as sponsored, everywhere they appear.
  • Affiliate compensation is never an input into an editorial verdict.

Sponsorship funds the creation and placement of content. It does not buy a verdict, a score, a ranking, or a place in a roundup. Carlos Gil sets each page's review status and signs the disclosure policy — read the review framework and the full disclosure policy.
