THE STEADING CODEX — FTC DISCLOSURE LANGUAGE (copy-paste)
=========================================================

U.S. law (FTC Endorsement Guides) requires you to clearly and conspicuously
disclose that you earn from your link - on EVERY post, CLOSE TO the
recommendation, and impossible to miss. Use the language below for your format.

BLOG / WRITTEN
  Put a clear line right next to the link, or at the top of the section:
    "Paid link - I earn a commission if you buy through it."
  Not enough: "affiliate link," "commissionable link," or a disclosure only at
  the bottom of the page.

YOUTUBE / VIDEO  (do all three)
  Spoken + on-screen: "This is a paid link - I earn a commission."
  Description:        "Links above are paid links; I earn a commission on purchases."

INSTAGRAM / TIKTOK / REELS / STORIES
  On-screen text for at least 3 seconds AND in the first one or two lines of the
  caption (before the "more" cut-off):
    "Paid link / I earn a commission."
  The platform "Paid partnership" label helps but does NOT replace this. Don't
  bury it in hashtags.

PODCAST / AUDIO
  Say it during the episode AND write it in the episode description:
    "This episode includes a paid link; I earn a commission on purchases."

Vague tags - "#collab," "#spon," "#ambassador" alone - do NOT meet the standard.

After you publish, send us the link, platform, date, and a screenshot showing
your disclosure (see the media kit for the submission link). It protects us both.
