Blog Tips:

  • Add an image to your sidebar: You can put an image, or an ad, for the brand in your sidebar for readers to click as they scroll through your blog. Note: This is a very passive strategy for monetizing and may not yield the best results.
  • Include search-friendly URLs: This goes back to the point about keywords. Using keywords in your URL helps search engines find you quicker. Note: Avoid using “a” or “the” in your URLs.
  • Include image description: Use ALT tags to enable search engines to figure out what your images are about. Include captions for all of your images, along with descriptive texts surrounding the image.
  • Vary your content: It’s easier to rank a video, so try creating different types of content to gauge reader engagement.
  • Include keywords in social media: Your keyword strategy is just as important when sharing posts across your social channels.

FTC REQUIREMENTS:

Please note that the FTC requires certain language posted on your website if you are receiving a gift or item to promote, or if you are being compensated in any way by the advertiser.

How should I disclose that I was given something for my endorsement? Is there special wording I have to use to make the disclosure?

No- just give readers the essential information. A simple disclosure like “Company X gave me this product to try . . . .” will usually be effective.

Do I have to hire a lawyer to help me write a disclosure?

No- what matters is effective communication, not legalese. A disclosure like “Company X sent me [name of product] to try, and I think it’s great” gives your readers the information they need. Or, at the start of a short video, you might say, “Some of the products I’m going to use in this video were sent to me by their manufacturers.” That gives the necessary heads-up to your viewers.

Are you saying that I need to list the details of everything I get from a company for reviewing a product?

No- as long as your audience knows the nature of your relationship, that will suffice. Whether you received $50 or $1,000, you could simply say you were “paid.” (That wouldn’t be enough, however, if you’re an employee or co-owner.)
