Rules that apply no matter the platform
Three things stay true everywhere you promote:
- Disclose your affiliate links. A simple note keeps you honest and compliant.
- Recommend only what you believe in. Your audience''s trust is the entire business. Never fake results or screenshots.
- Check each platform''s rules. Some restrict certain links or require specific formats. Read them before posting.
