1 Know the rules

Different platforms and regions have different guidelines and regulations for disclosing sponsored content. For example, Instagram has a branded content tool that allows influencers to tag your business partner and add a "paid partnership" label to their posts and stories. YouTube requires influencers to check a box that says "this video contains paid promotion" and add a disclosure text or statement in the video or description. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) in the US has a set of rules and examples for how to disclose sponsored content clearly and conspicuously on any online platform. You should familiarize yourself with the rules that apply to your target market and platform, and communicate them to your influencers.

2 Set clear expectations

Before you start working with an influencer, you should have a written agreement that outlines your expectations and requirements for disclosing sponsored content. This can be part of your contract, brief, or guidelines. You should specify how and where the influencer should disclose the sponsorship, what language or hashtags they should use, and how often they should do it. You should also provide them with examples of good and bad disclosures, and explain the consequences of non-compliance. Make sure the influencer understands and agrees to your terms, and keep a record of your communication.

Some influencers are unsure about disclosure practices and will have to be offered educational resources and guidance. This helps build a positive, informed relationship and ensures that expectations will be met. Some expectations to specify are the preferred language or hashtag for consistency, where the disclosure should appear (captions, stories, etc.), and the timing of the posts. Another very important expectation to communicate is the value of authenticity in the endorsements. Influencers should be encouraged to share their genuine experiences with the product or service.

3 Monitor and measure

Once your influencer campaign is live, you should monitor and measure how your influencers are disclosing sponsored content. You can use tools like Hootsuite, BuzzSumo, or Mention to track and analyze your influencer's posts, stories, videos, and comments. You can also ask your influencers to send you screenshots or links of their disclosures. You should check if they are following your guidelines, using the appropriate labels or hashtags, and reaching their audience effectively. You should also look for any feedback or complaints from their followers or regulators about their disclosures. If you find any issues or violations, you should address them promptly and take corrective actions.

Maintain consistent monitoring by applying the same standards to each partnership, resulting in a fair and transparent environment. Promptly update influencers on any changes in disclosure requirements to help them stay current and adjust their approach as needed. Also, regular audits should be scheduled to ensure influencers are following the agreed-upon disclosure practices. Implementing a good system for monitoring compliance is a trustworthy marketing strategy.

4 Educate and motivate

One of the best ways to ensure influencers disclose sponsored content is to educate and motivate them. You should explain to them why disclosing sponsored content is important, not only for legal reasons, but also for building trust and loyalty with their audience. You should also show them how disclosing sponsored content can benefit them, such as increasing their engagement, reach, and conversions. You should also recognize and reward your influencers for disclosing sponsored content properly, such as by giving them feedback, incentives, or opportunities for future collaborations. By educating and motivating your influencers, you can create a positive and transparent relationship with them and their followers.

5 Review and improve

Finally, you should review and improve your disclosure strategy regularly. You should evaluate the results and impact of your influencer campaign, and see how disclosing sponsored content affected your goals and metrics. You should also solicit feedback from your influencers, your audience, and your team, and see what worked and what didn't. You should also keep an eye on the changing trends and regulations in the influencer marketing industry, and update your guidelines and practices accordingly. By reviewing and improving your disclosure strategy, you can optimize your influencer campaign performance and reputation.
