As online marketers and websites owners, one of those ways we look at monetizing our work is via affiliate marketing. It is a great way to earn a good income while we create value for our audience.

But many of us jump into the field without putting some important things in place on our websites. One of these things is our affiliate disclosure statement.

You must spell it out on your website that you are earning some tokens from promoting some substances. Else you run the risk of ending up in the bad books of the Federal trade commission and have issues with your affiliate promotions.

In this training, I will work with you through what is an affiliate disclosure statement and how to create it for your WordPress website.

What is an Affiliate Disclosure Statement

As content creators, our audience respects and follow our submissions. As such, you have a lot of influence on your audience. They follow products and packages you endorse either in your written or video content.

Let them know that you are being compensated for disseminating this information. The best way to do this is via an affiliate disclosure statement or affiliate disclaimer.

Going by definition, An affiliate disclaimer is a statement that lets your audience know that you get compensated for disseminating information about particular products or services. It applies not only to website content but also to your social media content.

Just to add a couple details, an affiliate disclosure must appear on every page containing an affiliate link. The disclosure must appear before the first affiliate link.

Here's a sample affiliate disclosure:
This page contains affiliate links. Should you click on a link and make a purchase I may receive compensation.

Hi Nick,

I have been busy taking care of my sick father who later passed on. Did not know when you earned your ambassador's badge.

Kindly accept my heartfelt congratulations.

An affiliate disclosure statement is important for our blogs and we must take it seriously
