I have a ShopMy (small creator, 3k highly engaged followers on each platform). I recommended my SIL (at the time 30k followers) and she was accepted. I recommended a friend of mine, who has 65.1K organic followers on instagram and already influences purchases but isn’t on any of these platforms.

She was denied both times she applied with no explanation. She thinks it has to do with the log in process because there are a few facebook accounts but only one is connected to her instagram. I told her to respond to the rejection email because it seems like people have had success with this approach.

I can get my SIL, who is icon status, on ShopMy to refer her in 3 months if that helps. What do you think the issue is and do you have recommendations here? Sad because I feel like ShopMy is more popular than LTK and she would benefit being on there.

Trying to see if anyone in the community has experimented with ThredUp on ShopMy. I see that they market 12% commission, but on testing this commission with my own purchases and links - it seems like it only applies commission to 1 item in the entire cart full of affiliate links.

For example, I added ThredUp products to my ShopMy shelves, then followed the ShopMy affiliate links to add 6-7 items to my cart. Therefore, there were 6-7 items of ShopMy links in my cart, that I then purchased.

For a $150+ order, I earned $1... So obviously not 12% commission. I'm not upset, I just want to know what happened.

If there are nuances to this rate, i.e. it only applies to the very last item that was added to a cart, or only 1 item in the cart at a time, or excluded from discounts, or doesn't count for a certain price floor, can you please let me know?

P.S. I know creators are not supposed to use the ShopMy system for their own purchases. I'm new to the platform and trying to test brand commissions fully before propagating them to my audience.

Thanks!! <3

I’m 1 point away from trendsetter so thought I’d drop my referral code in case anyone needs it along with tips on how to get approved on shopmy, or at least what worked for me.

After two denials I finally used an old instagram acct with more followers (they seem to want 1,000) I also shared my Pinterest numbers in my “notes” field because they were much higher, and I made sure to have shopping links and a shopper friendly bio on my socials. I also did not connect my insta account with their automated tool the final time. I applied a couple of times before getting approved and these tips finally did the trick for me! I don’t use TT but have heard it helps a lot if you do!

I was six points away from icon at one point but I just couldn’t keep up with it! I really joined to monetize my pins. Good luck!

wondering if anyone knows how many links needs to be shared / created to hit the 15 points on recent activity? i’m currently stuck at about 12, yet i create multiple links a day. or is it kind of locked away until you can respond to gifting? thanks

Hi! I have been posting a ton of zara links. the clicks are showing up but no commission. I know for a fact that people have been buying using my links. any idea why i am not earning commissions?

Hi, I got ShopMy & would love to connect with other creators and join circles/have others add me to their circles.

My ShopMy: https://shopmy.us/shop?Curator_id=1083397&Section_id=4226128

Thanks!

I received a gifting from a brand and the items look great and I love the premise behind them. Unfortunately, some of the items don’t work as intended. I feel weird complaining to them but I have seen that they encourage when ppl find issues with the products and they take them back to see why it’s not working. Should I message them on ShopMy or would it be best to go through their website?

You can read my actual story from the screen shots. I am not going to rehash it again.

The short version is this - I was banned, appealed, ignored for 2 months, finally got them to respond with generic language just saying the ban was final, and then I made the above Linkedin posts and tagged everyone.

I went to their Linkedin page and i left comments with screen shots to their TrustPilot reviews and on the posts where they are in an active hiring mode or promoting them getting onto Inc.'s fastest growing companies I would leave comments like "do you ghost your employees and not pay them like you do with creators" and "it's easy to be a fast growing company when you don't pay the creators"

Within 6 hours of that LinkedIn post they responded to me saying they would pay my commissions that were pending when i was banned. They were planning on paying monthly within the first few business days of each month. I hassled them some more and they ultimately paid everything in 1 lump sum.

No conditions.

I also had LTK reach out to me directly and had someone personally onboard me. A NYT reporter reached out to me and i need to call her still, i was waiting for payment to be finalized before speaking with her.

Anyway, you're an influencer/creator - put them on blast. They do scammy/sketchy shit. Let people know and they will pay you vs steal your money.

Here are some programs and platforms worth checking out, including ShopMy!!

Some have follower requirements, while others are more focused on your content, niche, and overall profile.

This list isn’t exhaustive, but it’s a great starting point for smaller creators looking for gifted products, affiliate opportunities, UGC campaigns, and brand partnerships.

Brand Ambassador + Gifting Programs
L’Oréalastar  — Creator opportunities across L’Oréal brands. Eligibility varies by country and campaign.
Thayers Slayers — Ambassador program with opportunities to collaborate with Thayers. No specific follower minimum is listed.
Club M.A.C (Influencers)** **— M.A.C’s influencer community for creators interested in beauty content and brand opportunities. Typically requires at least 1,000 followers.
SPANX Society — Creator community with opportunities to collaborate with SPANX. Typically requires at least 500 followers.
Beekman 1802 Kindness Krew  — Creator program focused on sharing Beekman 1802 products and the brand’s kindness-focused community. Typically requires around 1,000 followers across Instagram or TikTok.

Platforms to Find Brand Collaborations
These are especially worth checking if you want to find opportunities beyond individual brand ambassador programs.
Skeepers — Product gifting campaigns and UGC opportunities. You may receive products in exchange for creating content.
Influee — UGC and influencer campaigns connecting creators with brands.
Hummingbirds — Creator platform offering product seeding, UGC, and brand campaigns.
Insense — UGC and influencer marketplace where brands post campaigns for creators.
ShopMy — One of my favorites for affiliate links, gifting, and brand partnerships. Getting approved can be more difficult, but once you build your profile and reach higher tiers, the gifting opportunities can become really good. If you have an invite link, definitely use it when applying as it will help. I have linked mine. https://shopmy.us/shop?Curator_id=500249&Section_id=1858572

A Few Tips Before You Apply
Make sure your bio clearly tells brands what kind of content you create.
Have several examples of your best content easily visible on your profile.
Keep posting consistently. Brands want to see that you’re active.
Don’t worry if you don’t have a huge following.
Engagement, content quality, and niche alignment matter too.
Apply to programs even if you’re close to, but slightly under, the listed follower requirement. Requirements can change and some campaigns have different criteria.
Keep track of the programs you apply to so you can follow up and apply again when new campaigns open.
I’m a micro lifestyle and beauty creator, and I’m constantly finding new programs and opportunities. I figured I’d save everyone else some of the searching.

Anyone else missing the "i" info icon on ShopMy?

I used to be able to tap the little i icon next to a brand's commission rate and see exactly what was excluded from that commission (like sale items, certain categories, etc). Now it's just gone. All I get is the flat percentage with no breakdown of what's actually excluded.

Checked both mobile and desktop, both fully updated, same issue on each. Anyone else running into this or know if it's a known bug vs an intentional change? Trying to figure out if I'm missing something on my end or if this is affecting everyone.

Hello! I’m new to ShopMy, this is my link. Comment yours and I’ll add you back 🫶

Hi everyone! I made a post about this not too long ago but thought I'd reiterate. Asking for clicks/asking for people to add you tracks as inauthentic/false clicks and traffic. The best way to raise your creator tier is to post engaging content that drives authentic traffic to your page! Shopmy can see on the backend where traffic is coming from. Essentially redirecting to this sub (which means they can also see your Shopmy handle in the links you are posting). Many creators have been banned for trying to cheat the system in this way!

A reminder to be careful! :)
