"Do you make money testing bikes on KZbin?" "Do brands pay you?" "How do you get so many bikes to test?" "Do you get to keep the bikes?"
These are a few common questions I get, so I want to answer those questions in this video, explaining how I make money on KZbin, and how I test bikes. And no, bike brands do not pay me for reviews. And no, I do not keep the bikes.
If you are here looking for a quick way to make a million bucks on KZbin, this is not that video!
Instead, I explain how this channel works, and how bike magazines and bike websites work, since that is my background and what led me to KZbin. I talk about testing bikes and gear. And I talk about my biases.
When it comes to bike or gear reviews, many savvy cycling fans have questioned how various business models affect the integrity of the reviews they are reading or seeing. It’s a valid question - and part of why I did this video.
