Thankfully for us affiliate marketers, our blogs aren’t the only place where we can shamelessly insert a few affiliate links to drive commissions and generate an income!

YouTube luckily accepts affiliate links, but you need to use them wisely iran whatsapp mobile phone number list not in a spammy way. That goes without saying that you should always try to follow the best practices of YouTube affiliate marketing.

Here are a few ways to use affiliate links on YouTube without getting flagged (you might want to write this down or bookmark for later!):

Use affiliate links authentically, meaning, be transparent and genuine.
Drop links in the description box.
Make sure to always disclose that said links are indeed affiliate links (see the FTC Affiliate Disclosure Policy for suitable example phrases).
You’re allowed to use affiliate links in YouTube comments (but use them sparingly).
Consider leaving out a few affiliate links from some of your videos (aka don’t overdo it).
You should also note that, while you can insert affiliate links in the YouTube video itself, if that video has any copyrighted content then the commissions from any sales will actually go to the original owner of said content, and not you.

Otherwise, if you are the original owner of 100% of your content, then you should have no problem linking to affiliate products within the video itself. Although, most creators use this opportunity to link out to another one of their relevant videos or even blog posts.
