Gifting Partnership Opportunities with Brands Available on ShopMy

Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

While I don’t know exactly how many of you reading this actively follow my blog, I’m sure that some of you are fellow content creators looking to work with brands. There are many different ways that creators can collaborate with brands, and one is gifted partnership opportunities. I know the goal is to get paid, but hear me out!

When you’re first starting out, or trying to cultivate a relationship with a brand, gifting partnerships can be ideal. I don’t always recommend working for product, because that won’t pay your bills. However, you can turn those gifted products into cash, using affiliate links. I’ve talked about this before, and use multiple networks, but I have had the most success with fashion giftings through ShopMy.

Most recently, I’ve been able to partner with clothing brands like Favorite Daughter (the matching vest and pants, as shown above), Clare V., Margaux, and AYR (the dress from my previous blog post, that I can’t stop wearing and a pair of jeans). And others, like Mille and UNTUCKit, have even given me discount codes to share with all of you. This is even more so the case when it comes to beauty and skincare brands.

If you have any questions about getting brand partnership opportunities or affiliate links, please feel free to ask them in the comments! And if you’re interested in giving ShopMy a try, you can do so using my referral link. If you do join, we both earn an additional 10% on all our earnings for 6 months. Let’s monetize those product recommendations!

SHOP PRODUCTS I’VE BEEN GIFTED

How I Started Blogging and How You Can Too!

Disclaimer: This post is sponsored by ShopStyle Collective.

I started blogging in 2014. Almost 7 years ago now. I used my blog as a way to share my love of shopping, beauty, and style. But I’ve shared this story before.

What I haven’t touched on as much is how I got started. Like with anything you don’t know much about, I had to do a lot of research. I googled any and everything there was to learn about blogging and it’s different components. I found others who were already doing what I wanted to do and studied their content. From this I discovered the two things that essentially launched my current career: blog conferences and affiliate networks. 

Once I got started, I became enthralled with the world of blogging and social media. And quickly learned that I could monetize my various platforms through affiliate marketing. And just in case you didn’t already know, affiliate marketing is where you earn a commission for promoting the products you like. 

While I do still get excited talking shop, teaching others how to blog is not my calling. In many ways I am still learning myself. However, something that I love about being an influencer through ShopStyle Collective is that they provide me with the resources I need to grow. And they have two different programs, depending on what level you’re. If you’re just starting out, I recommend their Standard program. Have questions or need help? They’ll even walk you through the application process!

I have been a ShopStyle Collective influencer since 2015, but once I decided to really get serious about blogging and utilize ShopStyle’s tools and sponsored campaign opportunities, I’ve since been able to become a full time content creator.
