AFFILIATE MARKETING / GUIDE 17

Affiliate Marketing Disclaimer Template

Write plainly: “I may earn a commission if you buy through links on this page.”

UPDATED OCTOBER 2026•17 / 20

Write plainly: “I may earn a commission if you buy through links on this page.”

WORKING TEMPLATE

Disclosure you can adapt

Place a plain disclosure before or next to the first affiliate link: “I may earn a commission if you buy through links on this page, at no extra cost to you.” On short social posts, use a visible statement such as “Affiliate link: I may earn a commission.” Check the rules for the reader’s country, the platform, and the program; wording and placement can vary. Do not bury disclosure behind a “more” truncation or rely on a generic footer. Be equally clear when a product was gifted.
