Just like with the other platforms, keep these few things in mind when posting affiliate links online:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You must disclose that you will be making money through this link<\/strong>:\u00a0\u201cYou\u2019re legally required by the FTC to disclose any relationship with a brand that is giving you compensation in exchange for promotion. Yes, this includes affiliate links shared on social media.\u201d Read the FTC\u2019s guidance for disclosing on social media<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You must own the platform on which you\u2019re posting the link<\/strong>: Ensure you are abiding by each platform\u2019s policies regarding adding affiliate links in the comments, pages, profiles, or links you don\u2019t own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t be Spammy, Be Helpful<\/strong>: Don\u2019t just post your affiliate link any and everywhere, rather limit your affiliate link sharing on socials where it\u2019s relevant or adds value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

YouTube<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can post your unique link in the Video Description or in the comments section below the description. Bear in mind adding too many links can violate YouTube rules regarding spam. For the purpose of this programme, you only have one unique link to share so you should be safe…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
