The rules of transparent disclosure (Module 47) apply even more strictly when recommending expensive gear or paid educational programs. Your audience is making a significant financial commitment, and they need to know you have a vested interest. Always be explicit about your affiliate relationship. Frame it as "If you found this review helpful, using my link helps support my channel at no extra cost to you." This ensures you maintain integrity and trust.
