What are Opportunities?
Opportunities offers a revolutionary way for you to amplify your earnings by promoting brands that you already love on ShopMy. They ensure you a fixed fee on top of your regular commission, offering stability and predictability in your income.
The beauty of Opportunities lies in the simplicity. Brands outline general expectations, such as sharing a specified number of links each month. Once you meet these requirements, you receive automatic payment—no more waiting for approval or adhering to stringent briefs. This allows you to concentrate on what you do best: creating exceptional content.
What is the difference between Opportunities and Collaborations?
Collaborations: These are specific, time-bound engagements that often come with creative briefs, tight deadlines, and require content approvals. Collaborations are singular events that can vary in frequency and duration.
Opportunities: In contrast, Opportunities mark the beginning of a lasting relationship with brands you genuinely support. They offer more flexibility compared to collaborations. You have the freedom to choose when to post content within the timeframe. Due to the less restrictive and less time-consuming nature of Opportunities, the compensation may be lower than that of paid campaigns.
Payment Types:
Opportunities include two types of bonuses:
- Instant Bonus – Payment is issued right after you complete the requirements.
- Bonus – Payment takes longer to process. You can view the specific payout timeline in the Opportunity tab (just hover over the “i” icon for details). Depending on the brand, this payout period can range from 30 to 90 days.
Most Opportunities offer Instant Bonuses, so payment timing typically remains consistent. ShopMy continues to encourage all brand partners to offer Instant Bonuses, and for those that don’t yet, we’re actively working with them to shorten payout timelines wherever possible.
These updates make it easier for more brands to launch Opportunities, ultimately creating more earning potential for you.
What to Consider:
Don't view Opportunities the way you view paid partnerships. Opportunities are simply a bonus for sharing links to brands you know and love. To earn the bonus, you simply need to meet the requirement of posting the specified amount of links. If you do, you’ll receive the fixed fee. If not, the bonus is not awarded.
If you’re likely already planning to share links to a brand in a given month, we encourage you to accept! It’s a great way to earn extra income on top of commission. Plus, by consistently sharing links and tracking the performance, you can gather valuable data to apply as a use case for future partnerships with brands. This data helps you build organic relationships with brands and work beyond affiliate commissions to secure more opportunities down the line.
And, if you show a strong return on investment (ROI) for the brand, your future bonuses could increase as well!
