Who you reach
About two thirds of Americans aged 5 to 90 play video games every week (ESA, 2026). They buy clothes, gadgets, homeware and gifts online like anyone else, and short video with a link in bio has become one of the ways they find products.

Why creator recommendations work
Shoppers trust people over ads. When a creator they've watched for years says they use something, it reads as a personal tip, and a code in bio makes acting on it easy.

Which formats work
Make the product easy to want and the link easy to use.
- "Things I actually use", each linked
- Unboxing the creator's latest order
- Gift guides before holidays
- Subscription box reveals
Test before you scale
Because you pay per verified view, testing costs little when it fails. Run one product, one country and a small cap per creator; keep the creators and products that sell, and raise the cap for them next time.
Tip
Treat the first campaign as a test: small cap, many creators. The second campaign is where you scale.
Short-form or long-form video?
For impulse products, short-form video with a code in bio is the fastest route to an order. Higher-priced products sell better in long-form YouTube videos, like a haul, an honest review or a gift guide, where viewers see the product from every angle before they buy.
Which products sell on video
Not every product sells on short video. The ones that do are easy to show, easy to understand in seconds and priced for an impulse decision. Start with the products in your store that meet all three.
| Sells on video | Sells less well |
|---|---|
| Visual, shown in use | Hard to show on camera |
| Understood in seconds | Needs long explanation |
| Impulse-friendly price | Considered purchase |
| Useful in everyday life | Needs a niche to make sense |
Common mistakes
Store campaigns lose money in predictable ways.
- One shared code, so sales can't be split by creator
- Promoting products that are low in stock
- Running outside your shipping countries
- Scaling before the first test has shown which creators sell
How much to budget
In the example, $6,000 at $3 per 1,000 views buys up to 2 million verified views, with a $600 cap. A sensible first step is a smaller test with a low cap and many creators; the second campaign raises the cap for the creators whose codes sold.
Codes, shipping and sale dates
Give each creator a unique code; it unlocks when they join. Ship sample products after joining, and set the deadline to land before sales days like Black Friday. Clothing stores should also read the fashion guide.
