If you get paid by vendors or earn affiliate commissions, disclose it clearly on your website and social posts. Hide it in tiny footer text and you risk violating professional ethics codes. Real estate regulations are one example where this matters legally.
Didn't disclose it. Where would the disclosure need to be? Just somewhere on the website. Could it be down at the bottom in that tiny, tiny mouse type where your address is supposed to be and your phone number? Yes. Y'all, we get ourselves in trouble for things that are very easily solved. Just fully disclose. If you have vendors that are paying you a referral fee, put on your website your vendors may be paying you a referral fee. I know my vendors don't because that's too complicated, but just Put it on there. Y'all watch recipes on Instagram now, right? And on the TikTok and all these places. And what does it often say? I may be paid an affiliate fee from Amazon if you buy this cake pan that I use. The disclosures are everywhere, including in real estate, and that's a code of ethics violation.
