Why disclose?
One of the first things that you need to do when considering writing sponsored posts is to get a disclosure policy sorted for the site that you plan to do sponsored posts on.

Some sites like payperpost.com actually require that you have one, others don't but in my opinion you might as well be straight up with the readers that are spending time by making their way to your site and warn them that some of your posts may indeed be sponsored ones.

What is a disclosure policy?
A disclosure policy can come in many different formats but basically you are choosing a stand on what kind of stance you are taking when it comes to forms and sponsorship and informing your readers of what that stance is.

For example you may never write sponsored posts, or accept advertising etc on your site, and your disclosure policy would say this. Or alternatively you may often write sponsored material and link to affiliate products that may or may not be marked as such, your disclosure policy will outline this clearly to your readers.

Where can I get one?
The easiest way I have found to get a disclosure policy is simply to head to http://www.disclosurepolicy.org/ and work your way through the wizard on the site. If you would like to see an example of a disclosure policy you can have a look at my disclosure policy.
