About The Rating Trade

The Rating Trade covers rating and reviewing as paid work - what it pays, how people price it, and what running it as a business involves. It is written for the person doing the job rather than the person commissioning one.

The site is 18+. It carries no explicit imagery and hosts no user submissions: everything here is text, tables and charts.

Nothing here is financial or tax advice; rules differ by country and change. It is published by the team behind Rate Cock, an adult entertainment service where some of this work is done - that is a disclosure, not a disclaimer, and where a page links there, it says so.
