ibanJ is an independent publication that investigates online income methods using primary-source research. We are not affiliated with any platform, company, or financial institution mentioned on this site.
Who Publishes This Site?
ibanJ was founded by Lauren Hayes, an online business writer who spent five years in digital marketing before transitioning to full-time freelance and remote work. The site exists because most making-money-online content is written by people selling courses, not people who actually do the work.
What Makes This Site Different?
Every guide on ibanJ follows a strict research process. We verify earnings claims against platform data, test tools and platforms firsthand, and cite primary sources for every factual claim. We do not accept payment for reviews, and our affiliate relationships are disclosed on every page where they apply.
We go deep on individual methods rather than publishing listicles of 50 ideas at 200 words each. Each guide covers startup costs, realistic timelines, verified earnings data, and honest assessments of who the method works for and who it does not.
Our Editorial Standards
- Every factual claim is verified against a primary source before publication
- Earnings data comes from platform disclosures, official reports, or documented personal experience
- We never fabricate statistics, user reviews, or testimonials
- Content is reviewed and updated on a regular cycle
- Affiliate relationships are disclosed on every relevant page
