Place affiliate links naturally and disclose them
Links should appear where a reader would naturally want to act — after you have made a point about value, not stuffed into every paragraph. Two or three well-placed links convert better than fifteen scattered ones.
Always add a clear disclosure near the top, such as: "This review contains affiliate links. If you buy through them, I may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you." In India, being transparent about paid relationships is both the ethical and the expected standard.
Mistakes that quietly kill conversions
Even well-meaning beginners fall into these traps:
- No clear verdict — the reader finishes unsure what you actually recommend.
- Only positives — it reads like an advertisement and gets ignored.
- Fabricated results or screenshots — never invent income figures, ratings, or testimonials.
- Reviewing things you would never recommend just for a higher commission.
- Ignoring the budget — for Indian readers especially, price and value-for-money are central.
