Edit functions.php directly

This method is for those who know how to upload files via FTP client to function.php. Simply copy the following code and paste it into the functions.php file in your child theme. Just Modify and add the code below with respect to the links you want to appear on your footer credit area.

add_filter('genesis_footer_creds_text', 'custom_footer_creds_text');
function custom_footer_creds_text($creds) {
 $creds = '<p>&copy; Copyright 2014 <a href="http://yoursite.com">Yoursite</a> &middot; All Rights Reserved  &middot; Built on <a href="http://your affiliate link">Genesis FrameWork</a> &middot; </p>
    <?php
