What makes an affiliate disclosure compliant?
1. Clear and conspicuous
The FTC's standard is that a reader should not have to scroll, hover, click, or hunt to find your disclosure. Place it close to the affiliate link, in the same font size as surrounding body text, not buried in a footer.
2. Plain language
"Affiliate link", "commission", and "earn" are the words regulators look for. Avoid jargon like "monetized link" or vague phrases like "supporting the site" — they have failed enforcement reviews.
3. Platform-appropriate
On video, say it out loud and superimpose text in the first 30 seconds. On social, include #ad or #affiliate at the start of the caption — not buried in a wall of hashtags. In email, include the disclosure above the first affiliate link, not just the footer.
4. Amazon-specific requirement
Amazon Associates requires that you state, on any site participating in the program, that you "earn from qualifying purchases." The disclosures generated here include language that satisfies this when Amazon Associates is selected as a network.
This tool generates template language for convenience. It is not legal advice. For specific compliance questions, consult a qualified attorney in your jurisdiction.
Affiliate disclosure examples
Short, compliant disclaimers you can copy — or generate your own above. Put one where readers see it before the first affiliate link.
“This post contains affiliate links. If you buy through them, I may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you.”
“Some links below are affiliate links — I earn a commission on qualifying purchases, which helps support the channel. Thanks!”
“#ad — affiliate links. I earn a commission if you buy, at no cost to you.”
“Heads up: this email contains affiliate links. If you purchase through them, I may earn a commission.”
“As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.”
Tailor these to your jurisdiction (FTC / ASA / EU), networks and tone with the generator above. These are examples, not legal advice.
