How to Use ShopMy and Get Approved as a Creator
I’ve always naturally shared what I love. Products in my home, pieces I’m styling, things I reach for daily. It’s already part of how I live and how I run my business. That’s exactly why ShopMy has fit so seamlessly into my world.
Instead of scattered links or one-off recommendations, it gives me a place to thoughtfully curate everything in one place, while also generating income that supports the content side of my brand. The blog, photography, social, all of it. It feels very full circle. And, as a small brand owner myself, I just love supporting & working with other brands so much. Collaboration has always been at the heart of what I love.
I get a LOT of questions about the links & products that I’m sharing and the brands that I’m partnering with, so I figured I’d put it all into a single post that may help you understand what ShopMy is and how you can use it also.
If you’re already sharing what you love, you’re closer than you think to earning some revenue to help support your time & talents.

What Is ShopMy?
ShopMy is an affiliate platform where you can curate and share products you already use and love. When someone shops through your links, you earn a commission (or a percentage of the sale). Each brand sets their own commissions and you’ll know what it is going in.
It’s built for creators & influencers, but I really think it works beautifully across so many industries:
- Interior designers building mood boards
- Event planners sourcing details
- Brand owners & founders sharing their tools and process, outfits & favorites
- Nurses on the go
- People that love to shop or curate already
- Pinterest, Instagram & TikTok lovers are naturals for ShopMy because you’re already used to sharing
- Sports moms sharing all the things that make it easy to be on-the-go
- Stay at home moms sharing everyday favorites
If you’re already recommending products in any way, this is simply a more intentional and organized way to do it.

How to Apply for ShopMy
The process is simple, and this is where most people tend to hesitate. Just apply, get approved (it’s easy to!) and get started by playing around on the platform. I honestly was pretty shocked at how quickly I was approved for my personal account. If you don’t like it or decide it’s not for you – no harm done. But going ahead and starting the process can’t hurt and then if get the feeling to give it a try one day, you’ll be all ready to go.

How to Use ShopMy as a Creator
This is where everything starts to click.
Inside ShopMy, you create collections. Think of these as curated groupings of everything you already love.
You might create:
- My Kitchen Essentials
- Favorite Home Finds
- Spring Table Styling
- Everyday Beauty
- Capsule Wardrobe for Spring
Everything lives in one place, clean and easy to share. If you’re being authentic, you are already out there doing and using these things. You’re already sharing them. ShopMy simply gives that structure.
It can feel a little uncomfortable at first to share links, but that quickly fades. You already follow creators and discover products through them and don’t you love it so much? If people are already asking you things like “where did you get that?” or “you always find the best things!” that may just be your sign. This is the same idea, just from your side.
How to Get Approved for ShopMy
You do NOT need a massive following to get approved. I do not on my personal account and I honestly don’t think they really care about numbers. Engagement and authenticity trumps follower counts every time.
What matters is:
A clear point of view
Consistent content
A natural ability to influence decisions
If you’re already sharing, styling, recommending, or documenting what you love, you’re exactly who this platform is built for. Don’t wait until everything feels perfect. It builds as you go.
How to Make Money on ShopMy
This is where it becomes incredibly valuable over time.
You can earn money hrough:
- Affiliate income when people shop your links
- Brand opportunities through the platform
- Passive income from older content that continues to drive traffic
A blog post, Pinterest pin, or even an older piece of content can continue working for you long after it’s shared. For me, this has become a way to support the creative side of my business in a way that feels completely aligned and helps position our lifestyle nature of the brand.
Is ShopMy Worth It?
I guess it depends on what “worth it” means to you. You could join for fun, to create a revenue stream or incremental revenue stream for yourself or your family. You could do it for some free swag & perks. You could do it because you have a passion for something (like style or makeup) and beacuse you just LOVE to do it.
If you enjoy curating, sharing, and documenting what you love, it absolutely is. If you make it authentic to you it doesn’t feel like “extra” work, it just a natural extension of what you’re already sharing. You don’t have to become someone new or change your voice, I think people see into that quickly. You simply become more intentional with what you’re already doing.
Once you start, it becomes second nature.

How to Use ShopMy as a Shopper
You don’t have to be a creator to use ShopMy. In fact, one of the best ways to start is simply as a shopper using the app. It’s a great place to start and get to know the app as a consumer.
Think of it as a curated shopping experience. Instead of endlessly searching, you’re discovering products through people you already trust. Everything is organized into collections, whether that’s home, beauty, wardrobe staples, or gift ideas. I actually use it a bit like Pinterest, to curate and organize, favorite and remember things. And, to see what’s fresh, new and trending. I love adding new people to follow to my circle when I love their taste and style.
You can browse collections, save pieces you love, and come back to them later. It becomes a very easy way to keep track of the things you actually want, all in one place.
And if you’re just getting started, this is the best way to understand how the platform works.

Follow My ShopMy
If you’re looking for a place to begin, you can follow along with my collections. I use a lot of the features, like collections or the Instagram feature where I can share a post or story on my Instagram and then link the products featured in the shot (I love this one). It may give you a few ideas on how you can use it too.
I share a mix of everyday pieces I use, home finds, seasonal edits, and things I’m genuinely reaching for in my own life and business. It’s very much an extension of everything I already share here.
