Are there any legal issues with affiliate marketing I should know about before getting started?

Yes, there are some basic legal rules to keep in mind. One of the most important is being honest with your audience. You need to clearly say when you’re using affiliate links. This is not just about trust but also required in many countries. It doesn’t need to sound too formal. A simple line saying you may earn a commission from links is enough. Also, don’t make false claims about products just to get clicks. If something doesn’t work or isn’t what you said, it can cause problems later. Staying honest helps avoid trouble and keeps people trusting you. Have you come across any other rules you think people should be aware of?
