What is a collection and how does it work?

A collection is the core of everything on ByMe. Before you start creating, take 3 minutes to understand what a collection is and how it makes you money.

STEP ONE

Understand what a collection is.

A collection is a curated list of products you hand-pick and present together under one theme — like “my summer outfits” or “my skincare routine”. Think of it as your own personal online store — but you don’t sell anything yourself.

STEP TWO

Learn how the money journey works.

Every euro you earn follows the same 5-stage journey — from the moment you create a collection to the moment the commission lands in your account.

  1. Create a collection — name it, describe it, add a cover
  2. Add products — paste URLs from any online store
  3. Share it — send your unique link to your followers
  4. They buy — a follower clicks your link and buys a product
  5. You earn — the commission goes straight to you

STEP THREE

See what you see as a creator.

When you open your own collection, you see the full creator view — with analytics, editing tools, and your earnings. Your followers never see any of this.

STEP FOUR

See what your followers see.

When a follower opens your collection link, they see a clean shopping page — just the products and prices. No analytics, no editing options, nothing that gets in the way of buying.

STEP FIVE

Make your first collection work.

Now that you know how collections work, here are the three things that make a collection actually earn money from day one.

  • Keep it themed — a collection with a clear theme like “gym outfits” or “home office setup” converts much better than random products
  • Mix different shops — ByMe lets you combine products from multiple merchants in one place. Use it — your followers will love the variety
  • Check your analytics — after sharing, see which products get the most clicks and add more similar products to collections that are already performing well
