It’s helpful to mention about the link to your viewers in your video. This way, they will know to look at the description box. Here are some examples of what you could say after introducing the product you are promoting

  Ex1. Check out the link in the description below to purchase the product!
  Ex2. Check out my affiliate link below to get a special discount!

It’s good to note that excessive or pushy promotions give a negative image to the viewer. Aim to keep it natural and not excessive.

Instagram

With Instagram, it is not possible to add clickable affiliate links or URLs in regular posts. (Even when the link is listed, it will not be clickable). You may however add links in Stories or in your Profile(Bio).

When adding an affiliate link, we recommend adding a short message to describe the benefits of the product. You can also add a link to your blog where followers can read more about the product.
