Becoming a ShopMy Creator
Recommended by Sarah Cooney
I LOVE using ShopMy both to get commissions from things I recommend and work directly with brands. It's been a significant and meaningful way for me to add another stream of income while still maintaining my integrity--most brands I love anyway are on the platform, and their gifting rules are strict--brands can't require you to post about gifting unless you actually love it. An incredible side hustle.

@naptimeshopping
How long did it take you to get started?!
@fewerandbetter
I came into ShopMy with an existing (albeit small—like 2,000
Substack readers and Insta subscribers) audience. I’d been using LTK for two years with truly limited success—like $3,000 total in that time. My first year on ShopMy was from August-December 2024 and I made six times as much. Last year I came pretty close to matching my actual income from my job.
Things that helped: linking a lot to brands I loved and showing how my audience responded to them. Then I’d get a chance to work with them for gifting or paid opportunities. Commission rates are generally increased for high performance. And sometimes brands will provide discount codes too. Always happy to discuss! The important thing is to stick to your specific point of view and be honest about using links or when things are gifted!

Hi Sarah (great name)! Do you know how many followers they look for? I applied but was denied (for now). I have a new small IG and a modest (1000ish) Substack. Thank you!
@fewerandbetter
Hi Sarah! I also love your name 😊 I started with about 2k on Insta and 1k on Substack but this was pretty early on for ShopMy. I think if you use a creator referral link you’ll hav better luck—mine is above! If that doesn’t work I’d be happy to reach out to my rep for you.
