Alternatively, send a pitching email to [email protected]. Briefly introduce yourself and express interest in becoming a brand ambassador.

- Shein will reply to your email if you meet their requirements and then you can negotiate a contract with them.

- If you don’t have a lot of followers, ask for a gifting opportunity instead. This allows you to get free products, as long as you post product reviews and use their required hashtags.^{[2]XResearch source}

1
Post engaging content to your social media accounts and tag Shein. Take high-quality photos and videos of yourself wearing Shein products, and upload your content to Instagram, YouTube, or TikTok. Tag @sheinofficial and add relevant hashtags to boost your visibility and engagement online.
- Popular hashtags include: #shein, #sheingals, #sheincurve, #sheinhaul, and #sheinoutfits.
- If you post something on Instagram, add it to your stories so it automatically goes to Shein’s DMs (and increases the chances of the brand noticing you).^{[7]XResearch source}
2
Experiment with your posting schedule to get more engagement. Post your photos and videos during different times of the day to see when you get more likes, views, and comments. Upload your content during these peak times so you look more capable of influencing others to buy from Shein.
- If you get a lot of engagement, Shein might contact you directly to become an ambassador!
- If you have a Creator or Business profile on Instagram, look at the Insights panel to see when your followers are the most active and post during these times.
3
Be strategic about which platform you post your content. To maximize your engagement rate, consider the features and audience for each social media platform before posting:
- If you want to share outfit photos from Shein, it’s probably best to upload them to Instagram since it’s the most popular photo-sharing app.
- If you want to post a short makeup tutorial, it’s probably best to upload it onto TikTok, while a longer product review makes more sense for YouTube.
4
Showcase your styling skills and creativity. Browse Shein’s social media accounts and Shein-related hashtags to see how other people are putting their outfits together. Then, try to create a unique look to stand out from the crowd and get noticed.
- If you see everyone is styling joggers with sneakers, for example, you could pair them with heels, boots, or slides instead.
Follow Shein’s official social media accounts and their brand ambassadors to see if there’s an upcoming pop-up in your area. If possible, network with the people hosting the event to get noticed and ask for tips to increase your chance of becoming an ambassador.
Like and comment on their posts regularly, and share their content so they’re more likely to notice you. The person running Shein’s accounts might click on your page and become interested in collaborating with you.
