Introduction
Are you trying to promote Amazon Affiliate products using Linktree? Well, make sure to add an Affiliate disclosure first! Not only is it required by Amazon, but it’s also a way to build trust with your followers. This article will guide you through two effective ways to add an Affiliate disclosure on Linktree. Let’s get started!
Method 1: Create a New Link with Disclosure
The first method is to create a new link and explicitly mention that some links on your Linktree are Affiliate links. This method requires you to manually add a disclosure to each link you share. Here’s how you can do it:
-
Go to your Linktree dashboard and click on “Add New Link.”
-
Add the Affiliate link you want to promote and give it a title.
-
In the URL field, add “http://www.amazon.com/?tag=youraffiliatetag-20” at the beginning of the link. Make sure to replace “youraffiliatetag” with your Amazon Affiliate tag.
-
In the “Description” field, add a disclaimer that states that the link is an Affiliate link. For example, “Disclosure: Some of the links on this page are Affiliate links. This means, at no additional cost to you, I may earn a commission if you click and make a purchase.”
-
Save the link, and you’re done!
This method ensures that each Affiliate link is clearly labeled as such, providing transparency and building trust with your followers.
Method 2: Add Disclosure to Linktree Description
The second method is to add a disclosure to your Linktree account’s description. This method is less time-consuming as it requires only one disclosure for your entire account. Here’s how you can do it:
-
Go to your Linktree dashboard and click on “Appearance.”
-
Scroll down to the “Linktree Description” section and add your disclosure. For example, “Disclosure: Some of the links on my Linktree are Affiliate links. This means, at no additional cost to you, I may earn a commission if you click and make a purchase.”
-
Save the changes.
-
Make sure to add a note about Affiliate links in your link names and descriptions. For example, “My Favorite Amazon Picks (Affiliate Link)”.
This method is useful if you have multiple links to share and don’t want to add a disclosure to each one. However, make sure to add a note about Affiliate links in your link names and descriptions to avoid any confusion for your followers.
