The social commerce game
The new monetization tools come as Instagram is facing more competition from competitors when it comes to social commerce and retaining creators who can drive brand campaigns. Last July, TikTok launched its $200 million creator fund, letting users earn money from their videos and in October, the platform partnered with Shopify to let merchants create and run campaigns directly from the Shopify dashboard. TikTok has also unleashed new e-commerce tools for brands and has leaned into live shopping. Last month, YouTube announced a $100 million fund for top creators on its TikTok competitor YouTube Shorts. Instagram’s new affiliate tool comes just in time.
While other platforms might pay out more to influencers, the new affiliate tool aims to make both creators and marketers happy, and marketers on Instagram have been unhappy for a long time when it comes to data availability.
