(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nGlossy's roundtable with five college-aged creators from the Glossy Campus community revealed a shift in where Gen Z creators are shopping and which affiliate platforms they are using — away from Shein and traditional retail, toward Amazon and ShopMy.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): if you are a mid-market DTC brand (apparel, beauty, home) trying to seed product to college creators, the old play (send to TikTok influencers, hope for a haul video) is fading. The new play: identify college creators who already have ShopMy links in their bios, and offer affiliate commission if they add your Amazon storefront or your direct-sale link to their ShopMy profile. Most college creators now expect affiliate revenue, not free product. A $100 affiliate commission is cheaper than seeding product and waiting for organic mention.
