Disclosure Info

</aside>

Please disclose your commercial relationship and use ad labels when sharing sponsored content.

• If you are sharing an affiliate link, mention that if the person purchases via your affiliate link that you may receive a commission at no cost to them.
  • Place your disclosure before your affiliate link, or as close to it as possible.
  • Explain what your affiliate link means in your disclosure (Stating “click my link to support me” is not sufficient).
  • A disclosure is required, even when you mention affiliate products via video, email, podcasts, and on social media.
  • When character space is restricted, use #ad since it’s more recognizable and clear. Don’t use #affiliatelink.
• If you are endorsing a gifted product, make it clear that you received the product for free.
• If you are hosting a giveaway with a prize sponsored by Yellow Llama Co., make it clear that the prize is sponsored by Yellow Llama Co.
• If you’re linking to or mentioning sponsored content (for example tweeting about a YouTube video in which the majority of the content is promotional).

Ad disclaimers are important but you may want to distinguish that you are endorsing what I make because you truly love the product and not just for of the commercial benefit.

So in addition to the ad disclosure you can emphasize that all opinions expressed are your own, are from your own honest experience and that you genuinely think the product is great, for example.

Quick note about using the word “review” to describe your affiliate content

Beyond proper disclosure, you have full creative freedom to share content in whatever style or format feels right for you. There are no scripts, quotas, or requirements from me.

One small note (and this is just my personal view): I believe the word “review” should be reserved for truly independent, unbiased parties. While I fully trust that you’ll be honest about your experience, I don’t think the word review best describes sponsored or affiliate content.

That said, it’s completely your call. Use whatever language feels right to you.
