there's no way she lives in hampstead so she's definitely travelled there just to get that crepe
She should be reported to ASA for not declaring it as an ad.
just proves she’s reading here and knows she shouldn’t be doing itShe’s deleted the comment (or blocked me!)
Yesss, I HATE it when she does this. She must make a fair share of money from aff links, unfortunately. Probably from people who do not realise she does. I wish someone would set up an IG account calling her and other shillers out.Someone has mentioned her doing this previously but she is still at it. I can’t stand it. Probably the number one reason I have no respect for her. How is she not absolutely ashamed of herself!!??!
Its just so unhelpful isn’t it. Refusing to say the brand, ensuring some one clicks through her link so she gets aff link money. She really is the dodgy salesman of the influencer world.Someone has mentioned her doing this previously but she is still at it. I can’t stand it.

yep that’s right. By design, the swipe up is an affiliate link. That means the link deposits something called a cookie in your browsing history which tracks what you buy. if you make a purchase the cookie tracks that data, ie. What you bought and how much. Then the brand will give the influencer commission on that purchase. Can be a small amount but some brands offer affiliate commission of 10%, which is why you’ll see Shel pushing certain brands and designer stuff as it comes with higher commission.Wow her hands are SO orange!
So just to be clear she gets money every time someone swipes up on her stories? Sorry I don't really have much clue how it works?
I genuinely think instagram bringing in the swipe up feature was one of the worse things they have done. Influencers do even less work now and it’s just become an influencer marketing tool. All they need to do is a swipe up rather than curate a blog post to try and work brands into. The stories also make it super easy to spam your audience whereas other platforms like twitter they don’t get the same opportunity as can only out one link per post.yep that’s right.

the problem is these cookies can remain on your device for 30 days (or maybe longer) and might even pick up purchases of other items you make (not just what you swiped up for). It’s very shady as the customer is not getting any information on the cookie which falls under the GDPR rules (because it’s collecting your data). I think it’s a matter of time before a case is bought by the ICO about this.
fully agree with you! It’s made influencing so lazy and most of them just promote whoever is offering the most commission which em clearly does. and the spamming is so annoying. They don’t care though, they almost seem entitled to make money this way now.I genuinely think instagram bringing in the swipe up feature was one of the worse things they have done.
