In addition to working with the creators on our platform, you can easily onboard your own creators. This will allow them to easily make links to products on your site and earn commission. When an influencer joins through your sign up page using your code, they’ll automatically show on your talent dashboard.
How to Onboard Your Own Creators
There are two ways you can onboard your own creators onto the platform. You can invite them and an email will automatically be sent to them, or you can share your sign up link with them.
Inviting Creators
You’ll see that within your ShopMy dashboard there is an INVITE button in the top right.
When you tap the invite button, you’ll see that you can easily input emails and invite talent to join the platform. If you try to invite a creator who already has an account, you’ll get an alert message that the email you entered is already associated with a user account.
Sharing your sign up link
If you’d like to craft and send your own email, you can find the link to your landing page and sign-up code for creators by clicking on the INVITE button.
User Sign Up Experience
When a creator signs up via your link:
- They will show in your user dashboard
- They will be able to immediately tap into your affiliate program at the base commission rate you have set
Once someone you invited has created an account, you’ll be able to search for these users in the CHAT tab and issue them custom rates, assign custom commissionable discount codes, and offer them gifting.
Sourcing Affiliates for your Program
There are many ways you can build your affiliate program with quality talent. Here are some ways to source affiliates for your program:
- Announce to influencer talent in your network – announce your program to influencer talent who are already fans of your brand. Let them know you are on the ShopMy platform and they can easily tap into your affiliate program here by joining.
- Mention affiliate program when thanking influencer for posting – after an influencer posts about you organically, it’s a good time to mention that you have an affiliate program
- Mention affiliate program in follow ups after product seeding – whether it’s on the ShopMy platform, through your team, or through any agencies you work with, best practice when following up with an influencer after a product seeding is to let them know you have an affiliate program that they can tap into if they are inclined to share your brand with their audience.
- Add “Affiliates” to the footer of your site – and explain the benefits of joining and how to do so.
- Onboard talent that asks – any talent that asks if you have an affiliate platform or issue custom commissionable discount codes, onboard them to your affiliate program.
