Do I need to specify that I use affiliate links?
Yes it is important to be transparent with your audience and either specify in your website T&Cs that you use affiliate links and earn a commission on sales, or specify in social posts that the link you are using is an ‘affiliate link’ – e.g. #afflink. Awin will be able to guide you further on this.
