  • I understand my responsibility as an influencer. When creating content I consider how it will affect to my audience. I tell clearly what is my own opinion, what is a quote from someone else or an information I have received.
  • I acknowledge that I am responsible for the accuracy of the content I produce and distribute. I verify the accuracy of my content using reliable sources.

  • I understand that the value of my work is based on my followers’ trust. I aim to value and deepen this trust with my actions.
  • I acquire partners that share my values, suit my themes and my audience. I understand that any commercial cooperation that contradicts my values and views may compromise the value of my channel and my relationship with my followers.
  • I will openly mention any commercial collaborations or benefits gained in all channels that I provide content for. I will clearly state in the beginning of social media post or video what is commercial cooperation and what is the brand in question. I will also openly tell the benefits I have gained using clear and understandable text like e.g. “*product sponsored by” or “*content includes affiliate links”. I use different font or other means of emphasis to show clearly the commercial content.

I measure results and give valid reports to my business partners in the agreed form and according to a set timetable.

Any confidential information is kept confidential. I will notify my partners if my followers’ reactions require any actions.
  • If my experience of the product or service in question is negative, I understand my responsibilities towards both my followers and business partner.
