Do you have a WordPress blog and you're ready to make some money
0:03
Adding affiliate links is by far the easiest way to monetize a WordPress site
0:07
But if you miss one step, you could end up getting your account banned. Yep, in this video I'll show you how to add an affiliate disclaimer page on your WordPress site
0:14
with real examples and a free template too. Before we start, let's find out what is an affiliate disclaimer page and why do we need it
0:23
let's say you have a website about tech products you could create a blog about the best headphones
0:32
to use or recommend your top pair of headphones for your website visitors adding an affiliate
0:38
link to each of these products helps the readers to buy the product immediately and the retailer to
0:43
get a purchase through you and guess what you'll get a commission for that referral now if you
0:49
forget to add an affiliate disclaimer page the retailer could ban you from the program and all
0:54
of your hard work will be gone. This is why whether you choose to review products from Amazon or any
0:59
other retail page you have to include a page where you disclose you earn an extra income
1:04
on your site. This is a transparent way to show that you are part of an affiliate program
1:08
and users are aware. Easy right? So let me show you a real life example. So here is Tech Radar one
1:15
of the biggest sites that talks about tech updates product reviews and basically anything that somehow relates to technology When you arrive on their homepage you immediately see the affiliate disclaimer page It really simple It already lets me the reader know that the website earns money
1:30
with affiliate links. You don't have to put this on your homepage, but you do have to include your
1:35
affiliate disclaimer on top of the product review posts such as this one. Your affiliate disclosure
1:40
can sound differently as long as you tell the users that what affiliate program you're a part of
1:45
You earn money from the affiliate commissions. You review products in an honest and transparent way
1:52
Otherwise, you can word it as you wish. If you need a simple template, check out our link description below

Adding an affiliate disclaimer page. To add an affiliate disclosure page, we go to Pages, Add New Page
2:16
And in our notes or our word document, we copy and paste the title of the affiliate disclaimer page so we know
2:24
And in the body, we copy and paste what we've written. For now, we're going to save it as a draft
2:34
And when you get to the front end you see that your title is affiliate disclaimer and you should see your body here where you tell people that you associate yourself with amazon and that some of the pages may contain affiliate links and that you get
2:51
commission for each purchase using the wp affiliate link disclosure plugin okay so let's go to plugins
2:58
add new plugin onto the search we say wp affiliate disclosure this is the plugin we want so we click
3:07
install now and we activate. Then we say let's get started. Once we get to this page all we do
3:17
is we go to our notes or our word document. We copy and paste our affiliate disclaimer statement
3:27
Then we make sure that we link our privacy settings. That's the link to the affiliate
3:33
disclaimer page that you created and then all we do is say next and then it will ask you where do
3:41
we want to display your disclosure statement and then we say before every post then we say next
3:49
so you can choose either on shown all or the selected categories or tags or
3:56
only show on selected posts. You click done. So once the plugin is installed all we do is go to WP affiliate Disclosures We click on Edit And then we scroll down and we see conditions
4:14
Now since we've selected only show unselected post, we must get the post ID
4:18
So the first post ID is 123. Paste it. And then we'll put a comma to separate it
4:27
And then we go to the next post. It is 128. and then we paste and then we scroll down and then we save changes
4:41
now when we go back to our posts and we click onto it to view in the front end you will see that
4:50
the affiliate disclosure is right on top of the post and then when you do the same on the other
4:57
post the affiliate disclosure is right over here and when you click on privacy policy it will link
5:04
it to your affiliate disclosure statement and this is how you add an affiliate disclosure page on your
