# AI Affiliate Pro > A practical guide to AI tool affiliate programs: how they work, how to disclose them, and how to recommend tools honestly. Most AI companies run partner programs. The ones that last are built on honest recommendations: tools you've used, clear disclosure, and readers who trust you. ## The basics - Use it first: Recommend tools you've used for real work. Your readers can tell the difference. - Disclose every link: Say plainly when a link pays you. In the US the FTC expects clear disclosure near the link. - Check the terms: Commission, cookie length and payout rules change often. Always read the current program terms before you promote. - Start with a directory: Browse tools by task at AI Tool Lab, then pick the few you'd recommend to a friend. ## Questions ### Do I have to disclose affiliate links?
