Recently I've been accepting more sponsorships for my newsletter and giving shout-outs on social platforms. The challenge? Figuring out how to disclose these partnerships in a way that feels genuine and keeps the community's trust intact.

I always mention sponsorships in individual posts, but I realized that's not enough. So I built a public spreadsheet tracking every partnership—what it was, when it ran, who was involved. Basically, full transparency.

Why does this matter? Because credibility in the Web3 space is everything. Your followers invest time, sometimes money, based partly on your recommendations. They deserve to know when someone's paying for your attention.

It's become my standard practice: disclose in the post, maintain a public record, and let the community audit your relationships if they want to. Feels like the right move for anyone building something that lasts in this space.
