Your disclosure
Place it before the first affiliate link, where readers see it without scrolling or clicking. This is a template, not legal advice.
What a good affiliate disclosure looks like
A disclosure tells your audience that you may earn money when they buy through your link. It works when it is clear, short and placed before the first link. Readers should understand it in one read, without legal jargon.
Words like "affiliate link" or "I earn a commission" are easy to understand. Vague phrases such as "this post may contain links to partners" are not.
Where to place it, by format
Blog posts: at the top of the article, before the first affiliate link. YouTube: say it in the video and put the text at the top of the description. Newsletters: near the first link, not only in the footer. Social posts: at the start of the caption with #ad or "affiliate link".
Why it also helps you earn more
Being upfront builds trust, and trust is what makes people click. Most affiliate programs also make disclosure a condition of the program, so a missing one can cost you your commissions.
FAQ
Do I need an affiliate disclosure?
In the US, the FTC expects you to disclose any financial relationship with a brand you recommend, including affiliate commissions. Most affiliate programs also require it in their terms, and the UK, EU and Canada have similar rules.
Where should I put my affiliate disclosure?
Close to the recommendation and before the first affiliate link, where people see it without scrolling, clicking or expanding anything. A disclosure hidden in the footer or a separate page is not enough on its own.
Is #ad or #affiliate enough on social media?
Short tags like #ad work when they are easy to see, at the start of the caption and not lost in a block of hashtags. Platform tools such as paid partnership labels can help too.
Is this tool legal advice?
No. It gives you clear, common wording. Check your affiliate program's terms and the rules of your country if you are unsure.
