How to Disclose Your Affiliate Relationship

Affiliates are legally and ethically required to clearly and conspicuously disclose when they may receive financial compensation or bonuses for recommending a business.

The 4 Key Principles of Clear Disclosure

According to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines, disclosures must meet the following criteria so consumers can make informed choices:

1. Clear

Use plain language. Avoid vague jargon like "collab" or obscure acronyms. State straightforwardly that you earn compensation.

2. Easy to Notice

Do not bury disclosures in fine print, hidden tooltips, low-contrast text, or behind long "Read More" expandable blocks.

3. Easy to Understand

A regular local business owner should instantly understand that you receive a commission if they sign up.

4. Near the Recommendation

Place the disclosure in close proximity to the recommendation or affiliate link before the reader takes action.
