Growth Hacking

I know about the existence of Growth Hacking and I know that as a StartUp one of your goals is to, well, grow as much as possible.
I also know about the existence of promotional posts, and how they can benefit both writers and companies looking to reach audiences.
What I didn't know, is how low some companies can go in order to promote their business for free.
Without further ado, here's an email I got yesterday. Let it speak by itself.

Hi Jose Tomas,

We’d love to see what tips you have for social media marketers.

We would like you to create a post on your personal blog where you share
