All right, so Lewis says, hi, Brian, great course content, is it mandatory to have a disclosure

2
00:00:05,550 --> 00:00:06,500
for affiliate links?

3
00:00:06,510 --> 00:00:10,320
Do I need to add it to my video descriptions if I'm using affiliate links?

4
00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:14,010
And so to answer your question, Lewis, it's I don't personally do it.

5
00:00:14,010 --> 00:00:15,600
And a lot of people don't do it.

6
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:19,540
And I don't think that YouTube or really anybody takes it that seriously.

7
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:22,440
That said, it is their policy that you're supposed to do.

8
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:27,420
So you should put a disclaimer at some point, if you plan on doing that, just kind of be safe.

9
00:00:27,420 --> 00:00:28,290
I'd recommend it.

10
00:00:28,290 --> 00:00:31,320
Keep in mind, I don't do this and a lot of people don't either.

11
00:00:31,470 --> 00:00:32,510
But you should.

12
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:33,620
That's what's recommended.

13
00:00:33,630 --> 00:00:37,980
OK, so if you want to go that route, I would just put a little disclaimer in your whether it's at

14
00:00:37,980 --> 00:00:42,450
the bottom or above your affiliate links or whatever in your description and just be like disclaimer

15
00:00:42,690 --> 00:00:44,910
some of these might be affiliate links from time to time.

16
00:00:44,910 --> 00:00:50,460
I recommend products that I believe in and sometimes they're affiliate links if I'm linking whatever

17
00:00:50,460 --> 00:00:50,760
it is.

18
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:52,230
But yeah, I don't do it.

19
00:00:52,230 --> 00:00:53,490
But it is recommended.
