Do I need to disclose affiliate links on my link in bio page?
October 26, 2026
Yes. In the US the FTC expects a clear disclosure that you earn from links, placed where people will see it before they tap, and Amazon Associates also requires its own statement. A short line near the top of your link page, plus a mention in posts that send people there, covers it.
The principle behind the FTC's guidance is simple: if you might earn money when someone buys, they should know before they buy. A disclosure hidden on a separate page, or only at the very bottom, does not do that.
What works on a link page:
- A short line near the top, like "I earn a small commission from some of these links."
- Amazon's required wording if you use Amazon Associates: "As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases."
- A mention in the post itself, since that is where the recommendation was made.
This is general information, not legal advice. Rules differ outside the US, so check the guidance where you and your audience are.
