(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nCollege-aged content creators are embracing Amazon and ShopMy and moving away from Shein and malls, per Glossy's recent roundtable with five campus-based creators.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): watch where college creators are directing their audience. They move first, and their movement signals where volume will follow. If these creators are consolidating around ShopMy and Amazon affiliate links, a brand that's not already seeding products to campus creators through those platforms is sitting on untapped distribution. Start by asking your campus rep or student ambassador program: 'Which five creators are your peers following, and which platforms are they monetizing through?' Then seed product to those creators on those platforms.\nWhat that means for you: College creators are small-scale operators with real credibility. They're also faster than the mainstream press at sniffing out better tools. The fact that they're moving from Shein to ShopMy tells you ShopMy has better economics or UX for them. That's a whisper — not loud enough to act on yet, but loud enough to watch.\nIf you make, sell, or gift anything with your name on it — this is yours to run. You can do this.\n(Real, not theory — Glossy: https://www.glossy.co/pop/pop-newsletter-college-aged-content-creators-are-embracing-amazon-and-shopmy-moving-away-from-shein-and-malls/?utm_campaign=glossydis&utm_medium=rss&utm_source=general-rss.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
