A five-minute screen recording of a missed-call text-back workflow does more than a thousand words about automation, and it keeps showing up in search long after you film it. That makes YouTube one of the best channels a HighLevel affiliate can build. It's also the channel where affiliates most often break the rules without realizing it. This guide covers what to film, what HighLevel's affiliate agreement requires on YouTube, what the FTC and YouTube expect and how to turn viewers into trials. *Disclosure: I am an independent entity from HighLevel.

This post is general information, not legal advice.* ## TLDR - Film what people search for: tutorials, niche walkthroughs and honest reviews. - HighLevel's agreement requires "Ad," "Advertisement," "Promotion" or "Paid Partnership" on screen for the whole video, in the top right corner. - Descriptions need #ad before the "More" cutoff and #GoHighLevel. - Keep claims within what HighLevel's own materials say, never promise income and don't knock competitors. - The FTC wants the disclosure in the video, not only in the description. YouTube's paid promotion setting adds a label at the start. 🤝 **Join the HighLevel Affiliate Program** Free to join, 40% recurring on your referrals and 5% on affiliates you recruit.

A few reasons it fits this product especially well: - **It's visual software:** workflows, funnels and pipelines make sense the moment someone sees them built. - **People search for how-tos:** new users look up exactly how to do a task, and a tutorial answers that directly. - **Videos last:** a good tutorial can bring in viewers for months, as long as the steps still match the product. - **It builds trust:** seeing your face and your account does more for credibility than any landing page. HighLevel ships updates often, so plan to refresh popular tutorials when menus or features change. ## What Videos Should HighLevel Affiliates Make? 1. **Task tutorials:** "How to set up missed-call text-back," "How to build a review request workflow." Short, specific and searchable. 2. **Niche walkthroughs:** show how a dentist, roofer or gym would use HighLevel, step by step. These pair well with written industry guides. 3. **Honest reviews:** what HighLevel does well, where it's hard and who it isn't for. Viewers trust a review that admits the learning curve. 4. **Feature and pricing explainers:** walk through the plans using HighLevel's own pricing page on screen, and say prices can change. 5. **Comparisons:** useful, but stick to facts about features and pricing. The agreement doesn't allow negative comments about competitors to promote HighLevel.

HighLevel's [affiliate agreement](https://www.gohighlevel.com/affiliate-terms?fp%5Fref=details) has specific rules for YouTube and for social posts in general: - **On-screen label:** each video must show the word "Ad," "Advertisement," "Promotion" or "Paid Partnership" in the video itself, in a clearly readable size, persistently for the full length of the video in the top right corner. - **Description hashtags:** each post must contain #GoHighLevel and #ad, with #ad in a clear spot before the text of the description and before the "More" button. - **Claims:** no claims about HighLevel's products that are inconsistent with or beyond the scope of HighLevel's own marketing materials on its website. - **No income promises:** no claims that someone will make money using HighLevel or becoming an affiliate, and no framing HighLevel as a business opportunity or "business-in-a-box." - **Results disclaimer:** any results you share must be true, based on your experience and come with: "These were my results based on my experience. Your results may be different. There is no guarantee you will make money." - **Competitors:** no negative comments about a competitor to promote HighLevel, and no disparaging remarks about HighLevel either. If you promote your videos with ads, the paid search rules apply too. Our post on the [brand bidding policy](https://netpartners.marketing/gohighlevel-affiliate-brand-bidding-ppc-policy/) covers which terms you can't bid on. ## What Do the FTC and YouTube Require? The FTC's [guidance on endorsements](https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/resources/ftcs-endorsement-guides-what-people-are-asking) says a disclosure in a video "should be in the video and not just in the description." In practice that means saying it out loud early on and showing it on screen. YouTube adds its own step. According to [YouTube Help](https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/154235), creators must disclose commercial relationships by turning on the paid promotion setting in the video details, which adds a disclosure label at the beginning of the video. That label covers YouTube's rule, but it only appears at the start, so it doesn't replace the persistent on-screen label HighLevel asks for. Our guide to [affiliate disclosures and the FTC](https://netpartners.marketing/highlevel-affiliate-disclosure-ftc-rules/) covers wording that works across every channel. ## How Should You Set Up the Video Description? A simple template keeps every video compliant and clickable: 1. **First line:** "#ad I earn a commission if you sign up for HighLevel through my link." 2. **Second line:** your trial link, with a plain description of what it is. 3. **Chapters:** timestamps for each step, so viewers can jump to what they need. 4. **Related resources:** a link to a written guide on the same topic. 5. **Hashtags:** #GoHighLevel plus one or two topic tags. Then turn on YouTube's paid promotion setting and check that your on-screen label is visible in the top right for the whole video. ## How Do You Turn Viewers Into Trials? Most viewers aren't ready to sign up after one video. Give them a next step: - **One call to action per video:** mention the trial once, near the end, after you've shown something useful. - **A written guide:** a blog post on the same topic gives search traffic and video viewers the same landing spot. - **Playlists:** group tutorials by niche or task so viewers keep watching. - **Consistency:** a steady schedule of useful tutorials beats an occasional big video.

The description needs #ad before the "More" button and #GoHighLevel. ### Is a disclosure in the description enough? No. The FTC says video disclosures should be in the video, not just the description, and HighLevel's agreement requires a persistent on-screen label. ### Do I need YouTube's paid promotion setting?

It doesn't replace HighLevel's persistent on-screen label. ### Can I share my affiliate earnings on YouTube? Only if they're true and based on your experience, with HighLevel's required disclaimer: "These were my results based on my experience. Your results may be different. There is no guarantee you will make money." ### Can I make comparison videos? Yes, if you stick to facts. HighLevel's agreement doesn't allow negative comments about a competitor to promote HighLevel. ### What kind of HighLevel videos work best?
