Schnell und einfach sind vermutlich nicht unbedingt die Worte, die Bloggern als erstes in den Sinn kommen, wenn sie ihre Arbeit beschreiben, weshalb das genau die Ziele sind, die das ShopSense-Team mit der Einführung der neuen ShopSense-Tools erreichen will. Egal ob es darum geht, blitzschnell Affiliate-Links zu erstellen oder mit nur wenigen Klicks professionelle Widgets zu generieren – die neuen Tools helfen dir, deine Inhalte in nur einem Bruchteil der Zeit, die du bisher dafür aufwenden musstest, zu Geld zu machen. Verschwende weniger Zeit auf die Erstellung von Links und Widgets und nutze die Zeit, um dich auf das Wesentliche zu konzentrieren und tolle Beiträge zu verfassen!

Finde schneller was du suchst

Mit der vollständigen Integration aller Suchfunktionen von ShopStyle in die ShopSense-App, ist es so einfach wie nie, alle Produkte für deine Posts zu finden. Bist du auf der Suche nach den beliebtesten Lippenstiften oder den besten Boyfriend-Jeans unter 100 Euro? Kein Problem mit der neuen ShopSense-Suche – finde mit nur wenigen Klicks genau was du suchst.

Erstelle interaktive Elemente

Dynamische Inhalte und Produkte, die deine Nutzer vom Fleck weg kaufen können sind mit dem neuen Widget-Generator ein Klacks. Passe das Aussehen und die Funktionen deiner Widgets sekundenschnell an deine Wünsche an.

Ein paar der tollen Beispiele für das, was mit dem neuen Widget-Generator möglich ist, wollen wir euch natürlich auch nicht vorenthalten. Entdeckt hier und hier zwei kreative Einsatzmöglichkeiten.

Mit nur einem Klick verlinken

Vorbei sind die Zeiten, als das Erstellen von Produktverlinkungen in deinen Blogposts stundenlange Kleinstarbeit war.

So lange und nicht länger!

Wir freuen uns euch mitteilen zu können, dass die neuen ShopSense-Tools nun auch offiziell gelauncht sind! Einige von euch hatten bereits die Gelegenheit, die neuen Tools in der Beta-Version zu testen und für alle anderen haben wir hier eine kleine Anleitung zusammen gestellt, mit der ihr eure Lieblingstools ganz schnell und einfach finden und wie gewohnt verwenden könnt.

Widget erstellen:

Im neuen ShopSense werden Widgets nicht mehr mit dem Widget-Builder erstellt, sondern aus der Quicklist.

1. Nutze die ShopSense-Suchseite um die Produkte zu finden, die du zu deinem Widget hinzufügen willst. Wenn du mit der Maus auf die jeweilige Produkt gehst, kannst du sie mit der Option „Zu Quicklist hinzufügen” in den Widget-Builder übernehmen. Tipp: Du kannst die Produkte in deiner Quicklist ganz einfach per Click+Drop anordnen und sortieren.
2. Alternativ kannst du unter „Meine Favoriten” auch eine deiner bestehenden Listen auswählen.
3. Klicke auf den Widget-Button oben rechts, um das Widget ganz nach deinen Wünschen anzupassen und so zu gestalten, dass es perfekt in deinen Blogpost oder die Sidebar deines Blogs passt oder als Shopseite verwendet werden kann.

Links erstellen:

Die Erstellung von Links funktioniert mit dem neuen Bookmarklet-Took fast genauso wie bisher mit LinkStar.

1. Installiere das neue Bookmarklet 
2. Gehe auf die Seite eines beliebigen, an ShopSense teilnehmenden Shops und öffne das Bookmarklet
3. Klicke auf „Link kopieren”

Hast du deine Links bisher mit dem Link-Tool erstellt, dann füge den neuen Link-Generator zu deiner Lesezeichenliste hinzu.

1. Klicke auf den Button links oben, um das Drop-Down-Menü zu öffnen und wähle den Link-Generator aus
2. Kopiere den Link zu einem Onlineshop oder einer Produktseite in den Link-Generator, um ihn zu einem Affiliate-Link umzuwandeln.
3. Kopiere den Link und füge ihn in deine Blogbeiträge oder deine Social Posts ein.

Du kannst Links auch direkt aus der ShopSense-Suche erstellen.

1. Suche das Produkt zu dem du verlinken willst auf der ShopSense-Suchseite
2. Klicke mit der linken Maustaste auf das Produkt und wähle die Option “Link kopieren”

Wir hoffen, dass euch das neue Design und die verbesserten Funktion gefallen und euch das Bloggen mit dem neuen ShopSense noch viel mehr Spaß macht und weniger Zeit kostet. Viel Spaß beim Erstellen eurer Links!

Alles Gute,
Euer ShopSense-Team

Last week we invited our Southern California blogger community to join us at POPSUGAR’s LA HQ for our first ever Blogger Office Hours event. The ShopSense team, along with ShopSense experts Nikki Phillippi and Jeanette Scott, set about to answer some of the blogging questions we’re asked most often!

What is ShopSense and how does it work?
To kick off the event, I did a quick walkthrough of the new ShopSense tools by building a blog post live! In just a few minutes I’d added a pre-affiliatized, pre-hyperlinked photo caption and a beautiful interactive widget to my post. The new tools are just that easy!

What do I need to do to get started in the Youtube world?
Next up, the lovely, and ultra-Youtube savvy Nikki Phillippi sat down with POPSUGAR’s Style Director Meg Cuna to talk about her journey from triple threat dancer-singer-actress to vlogger superstar. Nikki stressed the importance of authenticity and consistency in creating content. Another tip: less planning = room to create spontaneous and more timely content!

How do I create images that my readers will love to shop from?
Then, POPSUGAR’s Design Director Marisa Lenhert and POPSUGAR Visual Designer Joan Horne shared tips on how to generate product collages and take more share-worthy blog pictures. Did you know that macro images of outfit details, and not full-body pictures, are more likely to be repinned on Pinterest? More on their tips to come!

How do I grow my blog and make more money?
Finally, our Account Manager Natalie took the stage with one of ShopSense’s top bloggers, Jeanette of J’s Everyday Fashion, to chart her rise from “Facebooker” to full-fledged fashion blogger four years ago. Jeanette shared that her previous roles in marketing served her well when it came time to promote her content. She encourages bloggers big and small to establish connections with brands and fellow bloggers to cross-promote content and reach new audiences. Another way to make your blog content more discoverable? SEO, of course! Key words have been huge in helping new readers discover Jeanette’s blog.

Then, equipped with lots of blogging tips, the bloggers headed outside for a sweet treat at the Sugar Babies dessert truck. Mini cupcakes, anyone?
