Creator Center orientation

First, find the main areas.

These are non-official training mocks. They show the kind of areas a beginner may need to recognize before practicing product choice, tagging, or metric reading.

On desktop, core functions are usually visible in side navigation.

On mobile, those functions are usually compressed into cards, tabs, or bottom navigation.

Products / product discovery

Where creators browse products and decide what might be clear enough to promote.

Videos / product tagging

Where a product card is connected to a video after the product has a reason to appear.

Analytics / results

Where views, clicks, CTR, orders, and CTOR help point to one next change.

Learning / tasks

Where beginner prompts, checklists, or practice tasks may appear in a creator workspace.

Pick the area you want to understand first.

Product Pick now has a guided walkthrough. Product Tagging and Metrics are still basics and orientation entries before their manual practice tools.

Basics sections

Understand one area, then enter the drill.

Each section names what the area means, what to look at first, and one small decision to make before practicing.

Product Pick basics01

Product discovery is where you decide what is worth a practice test.

A product discovery area is a training shelf for possible products. Browse first, then inspect the product detail screen before deciding whether the product has a clear video idea.

Tiny decision

Can I show why this product matters in one short scene?

Product Tagging basics02

Product tagging connects a product card to the right video moment.

Tagging is not just attaching a product somewhere. The card should fit the video after the viewer has seen the problem, the proof, or the product's role.

Tiny decision

Has the viewer already seen a reason to click?

Metrics basics03

Metrics show where viewers stopped moving forward.

Read results in order instead of trying to fix every number. Views show attention, clicks and CTR show product interest, and orders and CTOR show purchase action.

Tiny decision

Which metric is the first weak step?

Practice Metrics

Views = attention

Clicks / CTR = product interest

Orders / CTOR = purchase action
