✅ Allowed Places
- Your website or blog (articles, reviews, tutorials)
- YouTube videos (in descriptions and on-screen)
- Social media posts (Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Pinterest) — but always check each platform’s rules

Why These Rules Exist
Amazon wants to control how their brand is promoted and avoid spammy behavior. Breaking the rules can mean losing your account and unpaid commissions.
Pro Tip: Always include a clear affiliate disclosure (“As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.”).
