Creators Edlyne Lorenzana and Sharlaine Andal, Shopee Head of Public Relations and Corporate Affairs Erin Tagudin, and Creator Callie Rae delved into the key role content creators bring to the online shopping experience, as well as the growth opportunities the Shopee Affiliate Program unlocks during the Shopee Creators Fashion Night.
Shopee, Southeast Asia’s leading e-commerce platform, is proud to announce the remarkable growth of its creator ecosystem as it gears up for the highly anticipated 11.11 Mega Pamasko Sale. In today’s digital marketplace, content creators are more than just influencers; they play a crucial role in enriching the online shopping experience through authentic reviews, tailored recommendations, and innovative and engaging product discovery.
Creators Driving Engagement and Sales
With the proliferation of content creators in social media today, these online stars are becoming a driving force in the modern-day consumer’s shopping journey. Kantar’s 2023 “Philippine Media Landscape” report indicates that 60% of Filipino shoppers have made purchases after seeing a product featured by a content creator. Their influence over buying decisions is growing more significant, especially in an e-commerce environment where choices seem endless.
In this context, the Shopee Affiliate Program has emerged as a powerful tool for fostering trust and engagement among shoppers. The Affiliate Program rewards registered Shopee affiliates with a small commission every time someone orders an item they promote. With credible content creators placing their stamp of approval and sharing their favorite and trusted Shopee finds, their followers are assured of quality products and a smooth online shopping experience.
Creator Sharlaine Andal started her affiliate journey when she purchased items on Shopee to redecorate her room and shared her experience in a video. Shortly after, she was invited to join the Shopee Affiliate Program, unlocking a new avenue to earn through her content. “It’s amazing that I get to share the quality,legitimate items I buy from Shopee with my followers and earn a commission at the same time,” Andal expressed.
“What’s even better is the sense of community I found with my fellow affiliates,” she added. “It’s not about competition, but about having fun promoting great products at great prices together.”
Over the past year, the Shopee Affiliate Program has experienced remarkable growth, seeing close to 600% year-on-year increase in new affiliates compared to 2023. This surge highlights the growing value creators bring to brands and sellers in driving traffic and boosting conversion rates. During the platform’s recent 9.9 campaign, the program successfully facilitated millions of transactions through personal recommendations and honest product reviews by social media creators. This highlights the effectiveness of content creation in generating revenue for both users and businesses.
Innovative Platforms for Enhanced Content Creation
Shopee continues to lead the way in supporting creators with features that maximize engagement and earning potential:
Shopee Live: As a cornerstone of the platform’s interactive shopping experience, Shopee Live continues to grow with over 60% increase in viewership year-on-year. With millions of streams conducted on the platform in 2024 alone, this feature allows creators to connect directly with their audiences, showcasing products in real-time and fostering community and trust.
Shopee Video: This newly launched feature has already been delivering impressive results, with creators producing 10 times more content on Shopee Video in the first quarter of 2024. By providing brands and sellers a lasting platform to host their content, they can maximize the reach and earning potential of a single piece of content. Shopee Video has proven instrumental in increasing brand visibility, consumer engagement, and order conversion through seamless content-to-checkout experiences. This was demonstrated during Shopee’s recent 9.9 campaign, where orders on Shopee Video increased six-fold compared to the average day.
Creator Maria Jhazelle, also known as callieszn on Shopee, gained over 1.1 million followers and doubled her earnings in 2024 after transitioning to full-time streaming. By actively engaging the beauty community during her highly anticipated streams on Shopee Live, she increased daily sales by 62%.
