What I loved in June!

Hi Darlings, I hope at the end of each month I can do these blog posts where I call out any major events or activities, some favorite products, product fails, and anything else I wanted to note for this past month. For Junes reflection, this was such a busy month! We had the master suite and Holly’s room completely repainted, drywall repair, and popcorn ceiling removed (I plan to do a full remodel before and after post on this soon!). We also had 1/3 of our backyard fencing replaced. We welcomed our newest addition Louis ( to see Louis visit my IG page!), family visiting Florida, and our short trip to North Carolina. I feel the biggest call out for this month is family and the value of home. We invested so much time connecting with our loved ones, welcoming our new little furball, and making sure one another is took care of. Our home was also such a big role this month and opened our eyes to all the possibilities the future has in store for us in Florida. 

Products I really relied on for this month *To shop click the links or go to the shop widget below!:

When my family was visiting we used this beach wagon (or this one is a good option too!) to tote everything to the beach. I’m so impressed with this! Its so easy to fold up for easy storage and traveling. While the home improvements were going on I used our Google Home more than ever. I needed a way to have my ‘me’ time and Google Home was able to play calming spa music to keep me at ease (also was very handy outside on the patio too!).  Sadly, I got a little sunburnt this month and one night I decided to try my Caudalie Grape Water (Or this which is on their official website!) - WOW another win. This Grape Water soothes skin and hydrates skin 127%! I also love using this on my skin when I’m giving myself some selfceare time - it feels like a spa treatment! And while I was in NC I wore my Abercrombie Bike shorts to stay cool during the humid heat. These V-Waist bike shorts remind me of the Aerie ones but I must say, the A&F ones are so soft. I also bought the matching sports bra to wear the complete set! Speaking of Aerie, their swimsuits  has also been the go-to this month. I love that they have good full booty coverage and lots of different mix and match sets. Their 1 piece swimsuits are very figure flatter too! And lastly throughout this trip in NC Hollys tablet has been a must (along with the holder  or this tablet holder I use to move the tablet from car to car) I downloaded some free prime shows and it keeps her occupied on the long drives to Raleigh, Charlotte, or just to Nana’s house!

Final notes that made this month special: 

My all time favorite YouTuber Tati Westbrook (click here to see Tati’s Youtube) made her return to Youtube. If you’re not sure who she is just hop over to her YouTube channel and you’ll fall in love with all the amazing videos she has on beauty, skincare, and lifestyle. She truly is one of the first beauty channels on youtube. For me, she’s such an inspiration, great role model, and her knowledge of beauty products I truly trust above anyone else. She left the internet for an entire year and she returned stronger than ever. I really admire her courage and strength. I think deep down the past few years she grew so much and 2019 was a breaking point of her juggling so much from posting daily videos, her family, her other dreams and careers. Her ‘break’ from the internet was such a powerful yet inspiring move. She showed me that its 100% okay to step away from the internet - that life exists outside these cellphones and laptop keyboards. She also showed me that if you’re passionate and authentic, you can leave something to grow and repair - then return. It’s okay to work on yourself. And I think she’s inspired others to find passions and take breaks when things get too much.

Anyways, I hope you enjoyed this little recap for the month of June. I'll try to continue doing these posts in the future especially because I feel this would be a fantastic way to highlight special products, big events, and things that I found important. 

Don’t forget to follow the socials! I also rebooted my Twitter page!

Part 2 of 1 Year with LTK. The Good & Bad - Learning, Payouts, and Pressure to be like Everyone Else.

Hi Darlings! Today I’m wanting to explain more about the Reward Style - Liketoknowit platform. My previous post I explained what the app is, who’s it for, how to get accepted, and my story on how I was accepted. I also included some tips on how to make your Instagram and Social channels ready for the evaluation step required to be accepted into the LTK affiliate program.

Today is Part 2. This post I’ll highlight most asked questions about the RewardStyle/LTK platform. If you don’t see an answer to a question please DM me over on my Instagram or drop the question below in the comment section of this blog post!

Question: What I needed to Learn:
When I was first accepted I had to learn how to navigate the app, how to work the RewardStyle website, how to post content to the Reward Style app, how to create links to products, how to save posts for future times, how to read my charts on successful content, understanding the "open and closed commissions" and other analytics. There’s lots of special forums in the Rewardstyle website for its platform users to read up on. You’re also assigned in a group or ‘team’ of people you can email and they’ll reply back answering any questions you have. I have emailed them in the past on a few subjects and they are super kind and helpful!

What I needed to BUY to be successful on LiketoknowIt (Yes I spent money for this app):
Sadly, after being accepted I realized I had to invest to make a profit. The reality is the RewardStyle and LTK platform is a dog eat dog world. You have bloggers who hire digital art people to create collages for them or hire professional photographers so their photos will be noticed in a sea of photos. So running my free blog and doing all I could with my Instagram WITHOUT spending money got me the acceptance BUT it wasn’t going to help me keep my affiliate space (I say keep because it can be taken away).

I wanted my content to stand out and I knew there would need to be some investments. First my old iPhone couldn’t handle the massive amount of storage I needed to run multiple apps, save hundreds of photos, and have the additional apps to edit the content. I also started running into issues with my collage skills. So I invested in Photoshop for my MacBook. I also invested in 2 tripods and a ringlight . A wireless keyboard so I can type posts on my phone without my thumbs hurting (this was SUCH a great purchase BTW! The one I have is from the Apple store $50 [linked here] but there’s more affordable options on Amazon ranging from $32-$50 [linked here and here]). Then of course I started investing in sellable and current fashion + beauty products to make shopable content -> So when I had birthday gift cards, Christmas money, or sold items on Poshmark - I used THAT money to buy new beauty products or outfits that I could style and make content with BUT I made sure it was items I was planning to purchase anyways so I was essentially buying what I want/needed. Now this isn’t 100% a make or break for your platform but I noticed it would be helpful to post styled content some instead of just screen grabs of Amazon finds.
Here’s a better list:

• Newest iPhone with lots of storage ($1200)
• Photoshop for my desktop ($100 yearly)
• 2 tripods ($30-ish each)
• Ringlight  ($20-ish)
• Wireless keyboard ($50)
• New and fresh content (probably a couple hundred in 2020)

Sadly, this shows one of the “Bad” of having the LTK affiliate program. You need to be ready to possibly invest into the program if you want to see the payoff. Some girls hire help and some girls buy lots of new clothes and return them (which is fine but retailers are cracking down on this and will literally ban you from their stores). 

So my biggest tip on what to buy if you’re wanting to invest is to decide what is most valuable for your content - is it a newer phone? or is it some new threads? 

Requirements to keep your LTK page:
So this was something I had NO idea was real. But apparently in the first 6 months you’re being monitored. If you don’t reach a certain number of LTK followers, open/closed commissions, and create X-amount of posts per month, etc -> you can lose your affiliate platform. I passed but I assume some people have their pages removed if they don’t reach goals in a swift speed. 

If you lose your page I’m not sure how you get it back - if you need to reapply or what. Like I said, I had no idea this was real until I received emails about it. I’ll attach the email below so you can see what it stated! 

How long/How much time it takes before you see any progress:
It took about 1 month before I seen someone use one of my links. I had 10 followers within the first month. And after 1 year I have 400 followers. I gained the most followers when I was posting fresh new content daily. I do recycle old content from time to time but when I’m consistent on the app (so on the app daily) I noticed a big shift in clicks.
To see progress you have to make content. So the days I only post 1 or 2 photos - I don’t see a lot of progress. But the days I post 5-9 posts and reply to messages on Instagram, etc etc - I notice a large shift. 

When I started to make money:
My first sale was within 1 month. It was $2.01 in commission… And I cried I was so happy!
Some weeks I only make $1-3. Then other weeks I make $70-150. It all depends on how often you’re posting, if you’re using links that are still active, how engaged you are, if there’s any holidays or special shopping events happening, and how fresh your content is along with how well you describe the posts! Also keep in mind this money is in a ‘holding’ for possible returns.

Also be aware the money is PENNIES ON THE DOLLAR. For example someone purchased an $80+ item on Amazon and my commission was $1.96. But someone else purchased a 1 Piece swimsuit from Aerie and my commission was $3.17. It all depends on the % a brand is willing to pay its affiliate links. Some only pennies, some will give a few bucks.

How long it takes to get money paid out:
To be paid out you must have $100+ of CLOSED commissions. This is something that I wasn’t prepared for; I remember making my first $2.01 in commissions and was like “okay when do I get paid?” and it turns out.... Its a LONG wait to be paid.

This is a commission based platform. So just because you sold something doesn’t mean you’ll make the money. There’s a “open commission” window where the customer can return the products. A returned product = NO commission.
I didn’t get my first pay out till 9.5 MONTHS of having the app and posting daily. And the payouts are every other week. So its always best to have a steady amount of Open commissions coming in so you will always see a pay out each month. To archive that you need to post fresh, new, trending, and valuable content. *Currently while making this post I haven’t had a pay out in 5 weeks*
The money will be placed into your PayPal account. And from there you’ll transfer it to your bank.

Tax information:
YES. You DO have to pay taxes on the money you make. You have to file and claim it; essentially this is free lance work. This past year I didn’t make enough to file or claim but for next year I will have to file. I have already set aside some money into savings so when tax season rolls around the money I owe I’ll have it there to quickly pay out. PLEASE don’t forget to set aside a percentage of what you make for taxes!!!! 

Total I made in 1 year:
I don’t want to fully post the exact amount I made for privacy reasons but I do want to be honest with you on how LITTLE I made in 1 year of running my LTK page. In 1 year of doing the RS/LTK I made just under $2,000 in commissions (this is BOTH open and closed commissions, if I only count the ‘closed’ commissions it would be A LOT less). I’ve only been paid out 1/4 of the time of running my LTK page. Majority of the money is in “opened” commissions and there’s still a possibility I will not make $2k. I have to keep in mind of possible customer returns or brands not paying out (yes this is a thing too, I’ve received emails from RewardStyle saying a brand went bankrupt and they’re not responsible to pay out the affiliate platforms in their contract). 

Opportunities to make a lot of money & slow moments:
Throughout the year there’s seasons or events where you can make money quick with LTK. LTK hosts special shopping events that you can create content for. I have a huge collection of how I prepped for ‘shopping events’ that I will show in a future blog post and on my Instagram stories. 

There’s also slow moments. The slow moments I always try to take time to filter out my collages, delete old inactive links, and create new ‘guides’ or photos. I also take the slow moments to try brand new and creative posts I typically don’t do on my Instagram or LTK page (so a post like “gardening must haves under $50). 

Good and Bad moments:
The good moments and bad moments come and go. I love having people privately message me asking for help to find or style for them. 

The bad moments is when you see a big sell transaction and then a few weeks later you see the person returned most/all the items. I feel in those moments I let someone down and it breaks my heart that what I presented to someone didn’t work out. I essentially run my LTK page as a resource to help others find beautiful, unique, and trending items from home decor to fashion and beauty. I want my page to take the ‘hard work’ out of online shopping. So I’m the one doing the research for you. Therefore those ‘bad moments’ when I see someone return something means I didn’t do a good job. 

Also some bad moments is when you feel the pressure to invest or buy stuff. I feel it ALL the time that I need to get on board with what other bloggers are posting (so like Tula skincare, Dime products, Liquid IV, etc etc) but that is where I have to get off the internet for a day or two. It's very easy to get sucked into copying all the other bloggers. Especially when you see someone with 800K of followers and you feel ‘okay they’re talking about it so I should too’. But honestly that’s not the case. The biggest thing to accept and learn is to NOT compare your small platform with someone with hundreds of thousands of followers. I realized that clearly I’m not at that level and honestly, might never be... So I had to QUIT comparing myself to others. The biggest growth you can get is breaking away from the crowd of copy cats and finding something fresh, new and different.

The best advice I can give is its a FACT there is ALWAYS enough room for someone new. The trick is to TRULY BE someone new and different - draw attention! Always try to stand out and be a fresh face. I promise it’ll work! 

Goals for the 1st year & Goals for next year:

My first year with LTK I had little hopes. I hoped to just make a few dollars and be able to post the affiliate links. But wow - I achieved more than I expected in the first year and its GREAT! 

For this 2nd year I hope to double everything. Double the following. Double the ‘closed’ commissions. And double the amount of content I create. It wont be easy. But its worth setting the goals high! I also hope in this 2nd year to have a more “branded” look to all my pages that fit the aesthetic of what I’m going for. My personal 2021 goal is to 100% achieve my new style so I’m currently working on making custom layouts for my posts and only use certain style fonts on all my Liketoknowit collages.

Other outlets I used with LTK:

So with LTK I also signed up for this app called Influenster. Its 100% free and they don’t ask to view your social media channels or ‘accept/deny’ you. Its where you set up a profile about yourself (your skin type, your favorite brands, favorite foods etc) and you review products! From time to time if your profile fits some of the brand campaigns - you’ll get a special email with a ‘pre-screen survey’ and you get to try out brands, complete promotional campaigns, and review them! I’ve been sent Charlotte Tilbury makeup, Tom Ford Makeup, Urban Decay, and even Clorox for a home campaign. I think this works aligns great with LTK because I can use the beauty and skincare products on my LTK platform to create content but also when I do a campaign on my Facebook. I sometimes get new followers and then they can access the link in my bio to see my blog and LTK posts too!

Sephora Events is another outlet I took advantage of to learn more about beauty, haircare, and skincare products and get the chance to receive free samples from the events to try out. I love doing these events cause the new knowledge I can use towards future blog posts and if I’m sent free samples of products I can try them out and create content with them too!

Overall, I also always look for opportunities to try out free products. I’ve even shopped brands where if I spend a certain amount I can get free deluxe items to try. Any opportunity to learn more and grow helps not just my RewardStyle/Liketoknowit page but also my blog itself.

Final tips: Always be yourself. Always set your goals high. Always be authentic. 

I hope this helps anyone who was curious about what the Liketoknowit App and RewardStyle affiliate program is like! If you have any other questions or want to ask more personal questions on payouts, learning, acceptance, etc PLEASE DM me on my Instagram page! Also I want to take this time to ask you to follow my Instagram and LTK page as well as continue to view my blog. I appreciate all the help and support!

Part 1: One year with LTK - The basics, who’s it for? What is it? How was I accepted?

Hi darlings! If you’re clicking into this post you must want to know what the RewardStyle/Liketoknowit platform is like and how I got accepted. This exact blog post is covering what it is, what is needed to be a member, who the platform is designed for, and how I was accepted. The next post will be about the learning tools, what I needed to buy out of pocket for creating content, payouts, and the negative part of LTK. Also, this will be a lengthy post. Today I’m also juggling contractors who’s doing Hurricane Sally repairs, my other social pages + my everyday life! So I hope to explain everything. If you have any additional questions please ask at the bottom of this post or over on my Instagram page! 

Question 1: What is the Reward Style/ Liketoknowit platform?

This is an invitation-only affiliate network that gets you access to a HUGE range of advertisers that most small creators would never be able to get a direct deal with. It’s a great place to start monetizing your blog/Instagram/Youtube etc. I personally like to describe LTK as a shopable Pinterest. 

The app has two units (or hubs) - there’s the basic LTK app for its users to shop, gain inspiration, and be able to follow their favorite influencers. This app is FREE and can be downloaded onto your phone or shopped via web browser if you access the LTK page through a bloggers website. My family, friends and I personally use the LTK app for inspiration. to find new sales, etc!

Then there’s a modified app called “Reward Style” that grants influencers the ability to make and post the shopable content which will be uploaded onto the basic LTK app. 

Like I said above, the LTK app is free for anyone (and you can even shop via desktop too in fact here’s a direct link to my Liketoknowit (LTK) page if you want to see what it looks like!)! To have the modified RewardStyle app you have to be invited to join and/or apply. You must be accepted into the affiliate network - once accepted you can create shopable posts from home styling, fashion, beauty, kids content, and more. Millions of people use the basic Liketoknow.It app (LTK app) on their phone to shop each day. 

Question 2: Who can benefit from this platform?
If you’re an influencer, blogger, YouTube creator, own a business (like interior design business, personal stylist or boutique), or wanting to do a career where you’ll be posting daily on what products, beauty items, clothing (mens, women's, children), or home items - this platform is perfect for you! 
There’s even celebrities (Real Housewives, Jessie James Decker, and more) that use the platform to link their favorite items from clothes to home decor.
I personally feel if you’re in the field of fashion stylist or interior design stylist business you would benefit great with this platform. EXAMPLE: you can show your designed rooms or styled clients and link up the products for others to shop! I personally have noticed more home content sells better especially with so many of us wanting to elevate our homes. 

Question 3: How can I be accepted on LTK?
Reward Style platform is driven by creative, beautiful, eye-catching content. When you send in your application to apply you’ll include information about yourself and direct links/access to all your social platforms. You’ll have to include links to each of your social channels so they can review and see if you’ll benefit the app, what content you post, and some other analytics *there’s also other tools they can use to access your analytics to see how your following growth is etc etc*. To be accepted you MUST apply and be accepted (there’s no way of escaping that). After an evaluation of your content and social channels (***how to achieve acceptance is not 100% known or told upfront***) you’ll receive an email if you’re in the program and the next steps.
TIP: From most creators, they predict acceptance is based off: how many REAL followers you have, how many likes/comments you get, if you reply to comments aka: content engagement, if your social channels will benefit having the ability to create affiliate links, your current posts ‘sellable’, etc. Below I’ll tell you what I think determines an acceptance into the program!

A wait time for acceptance or denial can range from a few days to a few months depending on how long the wait list is. 
I’ll be REAL, (and I dont mean this in a bad way) most people get denied. Before I was accepted into the program I spent weeks reading blog posts of HUGE influencers and majority wrote about being denied (some denied up to 3x!) So don’t feel embarrassed or scared. In fact the RewardStyle affiliate wasn’t on my radar because I PERSONALLY wasn’t ready to apply. Below will be my story on how I was accepted...

Question 4: MY STORY - How did I get accepted into the RS/LTK in June 2020? 

My story I hope is inspiring. Originally I created a 1, 3, and 5 year goal for my Instagram and blogging. I’ve been doing this off/on (more ‘off’ than ‘on’) since Holly was born. I blogged about my wedding planning, about the early stages of Holly, and some of my favorite fashion trends (so long story short - about 2 years of on/off blogging) but I decided at the end of 2018 to fully invest. 

All of 2019 I used a free blogging website and started doing weekly blog posts. I was on my Instagram as much as possible and I deleted all my old ‘embarrassing’ posts (like those 1am bar hop pictures, random posts of myself complaining/being negative, etc etc) I did this so my page will have an aesthetic and look professional. My biggest MUST was finding what I wanted my aesthetic and mood to be on my feed. I wanted all my platforms to match; so my Blog to compliment color wise to what I was posting on my Instagram feed. 

I also did some research and watched some YouTube videos about good ‘image’ on camera (so trying to NOT say ‘umm’ or ‘like’ a lot and decided to cut out swear words from my vocabulary when I was speaking.) I personally felt this would help build the image of my ‘brand’.

To be honest, at the time I decided to fully invest into weekly blogging and my Instagram feed - I was in a deep rut. I was realizing my degree in Fashion and Business wasn’t amounting to what I hoped (being a stay at home mom wasn’t in my game plan, but I’m blessed to be able to be with Holly each day!) To put it into perspective; I was paying my student loans off and NOT working... I felt worthless. So one day I had a pep talk: 

“okay Britt you LOVE fashion, you LOVE home decor, and trying new beauty products. I need to use the knowledge from my degrees to create something for myself that I’m proud of”. 

I personally remember feeling so down about myself. I literally was in a weird rut and I believe fully investing into blogging has helped my confidence so much!

So for Year 1: I fully invested in blogging. I covered the Nordstrom Sale, Holiday shopping events, started making gift guides in Apple Pages, and just trying all I could with what available time I had WITHOUT spending money… It was FAR from perfect but I was trying. My pictures WAS NOT flawless but I always tried to keep the glass half full. I wasn’t maxing out credit cards either. I would style fashion pieces I already owned (even if they were 3+ years old) and would try to find alternatives to blog about. I couldn’t link products to the LTK platform at this time but I would copy and paste the webpage to my blog posts. I literally tried all I could to learn and grow with the essentials. 

**** In a future post I’ll go into details what my weekly posting schedule looks like - for anyone who’s curious at how much time I was investing when I applied for the RS/LTK***

So here’s where things get exciting...

A friend on Instagram who has a successful YouTube channel DM’ed me one day asking if I was in the RS/LTK program. I told her "no - I have the RS/LTK goals in my 3 year plan because I felt ‘followers wise’ and ‘age of my blog’ I wasn’t in the range for being accepted”.

But she replied that she felt I post great content and she could tell I really enjoy what I’m doing. So she said she'll put in an invitation request to have my social channels looked at. Sure enough I got an email from RewardStyle stating that a fellow content creator requested them to evaluate my channels - so I filled out the form and gave ALL my channel handles. 

To be real, I was scared because to me - I wasn’t confident in my pages or sure if I could handle the workload that might come with RS/LTK *** THERE”S A LOT OF WORKLOAD FYI !!!!*.

Within days I got the accepted! I wanted to CRY. I was so happy. Being accepted into RS/LTK wasn’t on my radar because I felt my ‘free blog’ and ‘small following’ wasn’t enough.

 

Therefore, I personally feel like the RS/LTK acceptance isn’t about the numbers but more about the creativity, the aesthetic of your pages, and if you’re being consistent and doing all the right steps to be successful.

The process of being set up into the program takes some time - weeks to be exact. The ability to link Amazon products takes 6-8 weeks - in fact I had to email the RS/LTK help desk multiple times about my Amazon access. And there’s quite a few videos, RS blog posts, and emails detailing on what I need to read/do before creating shopable posts within the app. 

So one of my tips is to apply during a slow season where IF you were accepted you can invest 8 weeks to fully revamp your posting schedule, create content, and learn how to navigate the platform pages.

Question: What I had when I applied for LTK:
When I applied to RS/LTK I sent them the links to access my Instagram, my free blogger blog page, and my Facebook page. For 1 solid year all those platforms I was consistently posting and updating - I had about 1 year of solid weekly blog posts, 2-4x a week a IG post, and was on IG Stories daily. I knew if they clicked from one platform channel to the next it would all flow and feel balanced.
You can also apply with other social channels like Youtube channel, TikTok, Tumblr, Pinterest and more. 

Other tips to be accepted or requirements: 

• My biggest tip is to have a beautiful social channel that is 100% what you’re wanting to present to the world. Make sure at all times you’re presenting it. The reason why is you’re not told ‘when’ RS/LTK will evaluate your page and how often they’ll check it OR what they’ll be looking for. Example: If you’re a Beauty Blogger - make sure you social channels show you’re THE beauty review blogger. When you swipe down your IG feed make sure there’s non-stop beauty related content, highlight, reels, etc! Just having a photo here and there of makeup mixed with other photos of your pets, your car, or vacation/trips - doesn’t show you’re THE beauty blogger you claim that you are. Also make sure you’re running your channels like a business. So when you’re on IG Stories make sure you’re showing the best version of yourself. If that’s speaking clearly, dressed to impress, etc. 
• Post sellable content. For example if you’re wearing an outfit from Nordstrom mention it in the post along with the brand hashtags. Don’t forget to state what size you’re wearing, if there’s other color options available etc. Even if you can’t “link” the item - you can show the RS/LTK platform that you WANT to show sellable content to your following. ** I did this and had Bed Bath and Beyond use one of my photos for their feed!**
• Another tip from reading blog posts of people who were accepted is to have a cohesive Instagram page. So have your Feed all be a certain color, mood, or vibe. Examples would be having all your photos light and airy. Or have all your content around a certain style or aesthetic - like Cottagecore, Dark Academia, or Preppy. It’s easy to establish these vibes - moods - cohesiveness with free apps like Lightroom where you can edit the color and tones of you photos or just using the Instagram editing feature! In fact I still edit my photos with Instagrams editing tab. 
• Finally, DON’T just rely on your Instagram - In fact I would only give Instagram about 50%. The RewardStyle platform looks at ALL your platforms and lately they’ve been REALLY into TikTok and Pinterest. So running free blog or Pinterest page where you can repost all your Instagram content with information about style and fit is a good example. Or have a YouTube channel where you do home styling projects and also post small clips onto a Instagram Reels or TikTok. 
• DON’T feel you need to spend money on presets, apps, new clothes, etc. You can get accepted with what you have. I’m 100% proof of that! I didn’t spend ANY money before being accepted to RS/LTK. I used what I had and was VERY creative in difficult times. 

Check back for Part 2 of the 1 Year with LTK Platform! I’ll be giving you the details on what I had to purchase to create my LTK content, what all learning tools were required, how payouts and commissions work, and all the negatives associated with using LTK (and yes there’s quite a few negatives to this platform). Thanks again for reading and don’t forget to give my Instagram a follow!
