How to Disclose Affiliate Links Properly

Clear affiliate disclosures help readers understand that you may earn a commission from qualifying purchases. They are required by many platforms and advertising rules, and they build trust.

Where to place disclosures

Place the disclosure where readers can notice it before or near the recommendation, not hidden in a footer. On videos, say it out loud and add it to the description. On social posts, put it in the caption.

Use simple language

"I may earn a commission if you buy through this link, at no extra cost to you" is clear and honest.

Follow the rules

Follow the laws and platform rules that apply to your audience and business. Some platforms have built-in tools to mark paid partnerships.

Disclosure is not enough

A disclosure does not excuse misleading claims or fake reviews. Your recommendations must still be honest.

Explain where the purchase happens

Tell readers when a purchase takes place on another merchant's website, or, on MoneyEarn, that the order goes to the seller's store and the seller delivers it.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to disclose on WhatsApp too?

Yes, it is good practice to tell people when you earn from a link you share anywhere.

Will disclosure reduce my sales?

Usually not much, and honest disclosure builds long-term trust that helps sales.
