Affiliate disclaimer on Pinterest

Daniela — Thu, 31 Oct 2024 17:06:26 GMT

I started my Pinterest account only one month ago and I'm happy how the views grew in such a short time (not much the pins or the likes, though).

Only a few days ago I learned that if you use an affiliate link, you are required to put a disclaimer. I reworded a little and shortened the one the lady of a short, free course I took gave away, but (First Question) I wonder if there is a better disclaimer somewhere. Any help on how to phrase it in a short and clear way?

I edited all my one hundred and something pins adding it. Obvioulsy I couldn't edit those pins made directly from Zazzle but only those I created manually. BTW, lots of my manual pins have reverted to the Zazzle text (but my text is still there when I click on edit). That's a Pinterest problems, (Second Question) right? If the discaimer isn't visible, it isn't my fault, but it's Pinterest fauls, I understood. In their TOS they say that if there isn't a disclaimer they can close you account and I surely don't want it!

@Daniela Oh, I wasn’t aware of that. At all actually. Obviously I didn’t read the TOS. Yicks. 🙄

I have a short disclaimer on my profile text to the account. It's nothing fancy and I've never ever been called out by Pinterest for having anything more.

Hi @MOM

I checked lots manual pins of zazzle items (if the seller doesn't change them, they are so recognizable!) and I couldn't find a single disclamer. So you aren't alone 😞
