How should I disclose endorsements in my content?

It's important to be transparent with your audience. You can disclose endorsements by clearly stating your relationship with the brand, such as using phrases like 'I received compensation for this post' or 'This content is sponsored.'

Are there specific guidelines I should follow?

Yes, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) provides guidelines that recommend clear and conspicuous disclosures. Make sure your audience can easily see the disclosure.

What if I'm using social media?

On social media, you can use hashtags like #ad or #sponsored at the beginning of your post to indicate an endorsement.

Can I just mention it at the end of the post?

It's best to mention it at the beginning or within the content itself. Disclosures should be prominent to ensure your audience sees them.

What are the consequences of not disclosing?

Failing to disclose endorsements can lead to legal consequences, including fines from the FTC, and it can damage your credibility with your audience.
