Partner With Me

Let’s Build Something Useful (and Honest)

Paulie’s Picks exists to help people make smarter decisions about RC cars, gear, and general exploring without hype, fluff, or paid-for opinions disguised as reviews. I test, use, break, fix, and live with the products I talk about. My audience values that honesty, and that’s what I protect first.

If you’re a brand, shop, or maker who shares that commitment to quality and clarity, I’d love to explore working together. If I do not like your product then I just don’t review it. I do not like the internet complaining about everything. I want to promote what I see as good products or experiences.

Who This Is For

I partner best with:

  • RC brands and manufacturers (cars, electronics, tools, parts)

  • Hobby shops and distributors

  • Aftermarket and upgrade companies (I have a 2012 5th Gen 4Runner that I use for exploring)

  • Accessories, storage, batteries, chargers, and maintenance gear

  • Adjacent brands that genuinely serve the RC / automotive enthusiast

If your product solves a real problem, improves the experience, or brings joy to the hobby, we’re probably aligned. Let’s talk.

How We Can Work Together

1. Product Reviews (Real-World Use)

I feature products I’ve actually used, and not just unboxed. Reviews focus on:

  • Who the product is for

  • Where it shines

  • Where it falls short

  • Whether I’d spend my own money on it again

Important: Reviews are honest by default. The tone of this site is not to bag on things. These are only items that I would pick and use myself. If the product is not going to work for me then it is best I don’t review it. Please do not be offended if I decline. I am sure you are producing a great product. However, if it is not solving a problem that I do not have or my readers do not have then I’m not going to review it.

2. Affiliate Partnerships

For products I already recommend or plan to use long-term, I’m open to affiliate relationships through platforms like:

  • Amazon

  • Horizon / Amain (or similar)

I disclose the affiliate link, and recommendations remain independent.

3. Sponsored Content (Selective)

I occasionally accept sponsored content when it:

  • Fits naturally with my existing content

  • Serves my audience first

  • Allows me to maintain editorial control

Sponsored content is clearly labeled and never scripted by the brand.

4. Custom Media & Story-Based Content

Beyond written posts, I also create:

  • Short-form video (social & YouTube)

  • Product walk-throughs

  • Story-driven content (why this product exists, who it’s for)

If you’re looking for something more thoughtful than a standard promo, this is where I do my best work.

My Audience (Quick Snapshot)

  • RC hobbyists ranging from beginners to experienced builders

  • Parents and families entering the hobby

  • Tinkerers, fixers, and practical buyers

  • Readers who want to be entertained or research the hobby

What I Don’t Do

To be clear and respectful of everyone’s time, I don’t:

  • Publish paid-for positive reviews

  • Promote products I wouldn’t use myself

  • Accept partnerships that compromise trust with my audience

Long-term credibility matters more to me than short-term wins.

Interested in Partnering?

If this sounds like a good fit, reach out and tell me:

  • Who you are

  • What you make or sell

  • What kind of collaboration you have in mind

You can contact me here and we can set up a opportunity to talk.

Let’s see if we can build something that helps people get outside, challenges people, and is just a fun project.
