YouTube, which launched its YouTube Shopping affiliate program in 2021, has so far struggled to gain meaningful adoption, as Business Insider previously reported. Bridget Dolan, managing director of YouTube Shopping partnerships, told BI the platform's greatest advantage is its user experience and the resources it can offer creators. YouTube also has dedicated partner managers who communicate with shopping creators weekly to troubleshoot, share best practices, and plan in-person and virtual events, Dolan said. Her team of YouTube Shopping partner managers helps creators with everything from which products and brands to link to what products are selling well to trending product search terms. "YouTube Shopping is the idea that creators are talking about the products that they love and tagging them," Dolan said.

There, Pimentel spoke about the strategy behind Threads, and how her team is working to create communities within the app. Meta is still actively recruiting celebrities, sports stars, and influencers to create content and help build communities, Pimentel added. And some prominent X users, like tech reporter Casey Newton, are pivoting away from X to posting on Threads. "We see a lot more engagement on Threads on content that's a conversation starter. Sports content and a photography community are some examples of sub cultures growing organically on Threads, so far, Pimentel said.

Dolan spoke about how the tech giant is thinking about social shopping and why her team is betting on short videos to drive sales over livestreams. "Shoppable short-form video is on fire," Dolan said, speaking on a panel about creators and online shopping . "We had over 150 billion views in 2022 of videos with products tagged — shoppable videos on YouTube. Shopping shorts are growing a lot faster than shorts are growing." "Yes, they love the brand deals, and they love having those relationships, but this is the opposite," Dolan said of affiliate marketing.

At VidCon, the annual conference for creators, industry professionals, and fans, YouTube Shopping made a splash. Michael Martin, YouTube Shopping general manager, and Bridget Dolan, managing director of YouTube Shopping partnerships, each spoke about the platform's new affiliate program. In 2021, YouTube began quietly testing shopping tools like product pins with a small group of creators. The feature looks similar to the in-app shopping tools on TikTok, with a "view products" button on the lower half of the video. Instagram, on the other hand, ended its native affiliate program in July 2022, and cut back on some features, like live shopping.
