ShopMy normally has an application and a waitlist. Joining through a current creator's invite link can let you skip the standard application, but every account is still subject to ShopMy's review, terms and approval. Click here to start your ShopMy creator account and once your account is active, you can start setting up your first links.

What is ShopMy?

ShopMy is a creator platform that lets you turn your product recommendations into affiliate links. When someone shops through your link, you earn a commission.

You can link products from thousands of brands and retailers, then share them anywhere: your blog, Instagram stories, Pinterest pins, a newsletter, or even a text to your sister. Commission rates are set by each brand, and the rate you see in the platform is the rate you earn.

It was built with creators in mind, which you can feel the minute you start using it. It's clean, it's easy, and it doesn't feel like a spreadsheet you have to fight with.

Why I love it as a creator

  • Everything lives in one place. My links, collections and earnings are all in one dashboard, so I'm not jumping between five different accounts.
  • Shoppable collections. I can group pieces into a collection, like a wedding guest edit or a fall capsule, and share one link instead of ten.
  • Brand gifting. Brands can send you products through ShopMy's gifting feature, and you can reach out to brands you genuinely love.
  • Paid opportunities. As you grow, brands can offer paid collaborations on top of your regular commissions.
  • It works with how I already create. I write a blog post, turn it into Pinterest pins, then share it on Instagram. ShopMy links slot into every step.

Most of all, it lets me do what I love most, which is being your personal shopper bestie, while building a real business behind it.

How to join ShopMy (and skip the waitlist)

  1. Click my invite link. Go to shopmy.us/join/mariefrancescallc. An invite link can let you bypass the standard application, though ShopMy still decides whether your account is approved.
  2. Create your account. Sign up with your email and choose a username. Pick something that matches your social handles so people can find you easily.
  3. Set up your profile. Add a photo, a short bio and links to your Instagram, blog, Pinterest or TikTok. This is your storefront, so make it feel like you.
  4. Connect your payout info. Add how you'd like to be paid so your commissions have somewhere to go.
  5. Create your first link. Paste any product URL and ShopMy turns it into your affiliate link. Start with something you already own and love.
  6. Share it. Drop it in a story, a blog post or a Pinterest pin, and you're officially a creator.

My tips for getting started

  • Link what you actually use. Your audience trusts you because you're honest. Share the things you'd recommend to a friend, not just what pays the most.
  • Build a few collections first. Think "my everyday basics," "fall outfits" or "travel essentials." Collections give people a reason to keep coming back.
  • Be consistent. You don't need a huge following to start. Sharing a little every week adds up faster than one big post a month.
  • Always disclose. Let your audience know when you're using affiliate links. It's required, and it builds trust.
  • Pitch brands thoughtfully. When you reach out for gifting, keep it short, mention a specific product you love, and explain why it fits your audience. One polite follow-up is plenty.

ShopMy FAQ

Is ShopMy free to join? Yes, there's no cost to sign up. ShopMy keeps a share of commissions to run the platform, but the rate displayed to you is what you actually earn.

Do I need a big following? No. Plenty of creators start small. What matters most is an engaged audience that trusts your recommendations.

How much can I earn? It depends on the brands you link and how often your audience shops. Each brand sets its own commission rate.

Where can I share my ShopMy links? Anywhere you share recommendations: Instagram, Pinterest, TikTok, your blog, a newsletter or a group chat.

What's the benefit of joining with an invite link? You may be able to skip the standard application. Access is still at ShopMy's discretion, and how the invite process works can change. ShopMy also runs a referral program where both creators can earn a bonus on commissions for a period once the new creator reaches the Ambassador tier. Check ShopMy's creator guide for the current details.

Am I guaranteed to be approved? No. ShopMy reviews every creator account and decides who is accepted, even when you join through an invite link. Some brands and opportunities also require their own separate approval once you're on the platform.

When do I get paid? Commissions stay pending until the retailer's return window closes and the sale is confirmed, so expect some lag between a sale and your payout.

Disclaimers

  • Approval is not guaranteed. ShopMy decides which creators are accepted onto the platform. Using my invite link does not guarantee approval, and ShopMy can review, limit or close accounts under its own terms.
  • Brands approve separately. Even after you join, individual brands set their own commission rates and decide whether to approve you for gifting, collaborations or paid opportunities.
  • Not affiliated with ShopMy. I'm a ShopMy creator, not a ShopMy employee or representative. This post is not sponsored or endorsed by ShopMy.
  • Earnings are not guaranteed. What you earn depends on your audience, your content and each brand's rates. Results vary from creator to creator.
  • Referral disclosure. If you join through my link, I may earn a referral bonus at no cost to you.
  • Programs change. ShopMy's application process, invite links and referral perks can change without notice. This post reflects how things worked as of October 2026, so always check ShopMy's current terms before you sign up.
  • Disclose your own links. Once you're a creator, you're responsible for clearly disclosing affiliate links and gifted products to your audience, as required by the FTC.
