Move over Amazon, because YouTube is getting set to take a big bite out of the e-commerce apple. I’m not talking about creator merch, like mugs and t-shirts. I’m talking about big-ticket items like
computers, TVs, lawn furniture, designer handbags, exercise bikes and more!
Note: The YouTube Shopping Affiliate Program is available to eligible YouTube Partners in the U.S. (see more info below).
And, here’s a cool scoop you’ll want to know; you can select among sellers to grab the highest commission, plus set up your storefront (I’ll show you how below) easily in a few clicks! You’ll also want to personalize each video with appropriate product
selections.
1- Even though the specified subscriber count required for shopping tags is 15k subs, my
daughter and I were invited into the program with fewer; for me, 12.5k, and my daughter, 14.3k. So go ahead and check out the eligibility requirements and apply.
You can fill out this form to express interest in the YouTube Shopping Affiliate Program: Creator Interest Form.
NOTE: When you select your products, YouTube will automatically show you the possible selections and the commission on each so
you can select the option you want to show. (And maybe, pays you better!!)
3 - As always, TubeBuddy is the tool of choice and your friend to help you optimize your video for keywords, titles, thumbnails, and more so take it for a spin if you haven’t already (affiliate link).
