For brands running affiliate or influencer programs
Every affiliate post plainly disclosed.
A post that earns its writer money or free product has to say so clearly, and the brand is expected to train its affiliates and follow up. Paste a caption and Plainsaid says if the disclosure is missing, too unclear, past the "more" cut, buried in hashtags, or only in a video's caption, and offers fixed wording. It logs that the affiliate was asked to fix it, keeps each affiliate's training and follow-ups, and gives you a one-page training sheet to send. Not legal advice.
