Affiliate Links in Your Bio: What to Disclose and What Converts

· 6 min read

Add affiliate links to your bio as product picks with a photo and a clear button, group brand discount codes together so people can copy them in one tap, and disclose that you earn a commission — the FTC expects it, and Amazon requires its own line when you link to Amazon.

Picks and codes, not a list of links

  • Product picks — a photo, the brand, a short note on why you love it, and a button like “Shop” or “Get it”.
  • Discount codes — shown as cards people can copy and shop in one tap, with an end date when there is one.
  • Shoppable videos — your TikTok or Reel with the products tagged under it.

What to disclose

  • Say you earn a commission, near the links and in plain words.
  • For Amazon links: “As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.”
  • Don't show Amazon prices you typed in yourself — they change, and Amazon's rules don't allow stale prices.

What gets tapped

  • Real photos over stock images.
  • A one-line reason in your voice.
  • Codes with a clear offer: “20% off everything”, not just the code.
  • Removing expired codes — dead codes cost trust.

Questions

Do I have to disclose affiliate links in my bio?

Yes. The FTC expects a clear disclosure whenever you earn from a recommendation, and Amazon's program requires its own statement.

Can I add codes from brands I work with?

Yes — add the brand, the code, the offer, the link and an end date. On Swazy each brand also gets its own page link to share.
