What I Wish I Knew Before Starting the Amazon Influencer Program!
If you’re an influencer looking to monetize your content, the Amazon Influencer Program can seem like an attractive option. As a member of the program, you have the opportunity to earn commissions on products you recommend, all while leveraging the trust and loyalty of your audience. However, before diving into the program, there are a few things I wish I knew that would have made the process smoother.
First and foremost, it’s essential to understand the requirements for joining the program. Amazon has strict criteria for approving influencers, and not everyone will be accepted. To be eligible, you need to have a significant following on social media platforms such as Instagram, YouTube, or Twitter. Additionally, your content needs to be in line with Amazon’s policies and guidelines. It’s crucial to have a clear understanding of these requirements before applying, as rejection can be disheartening.
Secondly, I wish I had known more about the commission structure of the program. While earning commissions on product referrals is a major benefit, the rates can vary widely depending on the product category. Some categories offer higher commission rates than others, so it’s essential to consider this when selecting which products to promote. Additionally, understanding the different commission tiers and how they apply to your specific niche can help maximize your earnings.
Another aspect I wish I had considered before joining the program is the level of competition. With so many influencers vying for attention on Amazon, standing out can be challenging. It’s essential to have a clear strategy for promoting products and engaging your audience to ensure your recommendations resonate with potential buyers. Additionally, understanding how to leverage Amazon’s tools and resources for promoting products can make a significant difference in your success as an influencer.
Finally, I wish I had known more about the importance of staying authentic and transparent with my audience. While the temptation to earn commissions may be strong, it’s vital to maintain trust with your followers by only recommending products you genuinely believe in. Being transparent about your relationship with Amazon and clearly disclosing any affiliate links can help build credibility and foster a loyal audience.
In conclusion, while the Amazon Influencer Program offers significant potential for earning commissions, there are several factors I wish I had considered before starting. Understanding the program requirements, commission structures, competition, and maintaining authenticity with your audience are all essential aspects to consider. With the right knowledge and approach, the Amazon Influencer Program can be a valuable tool for monetizing your influence and providing value to your audience.

I appreciate you not gate keeping!
Although a stye can be caused by bacteria, it is also true that stress can cause them, too. You can experience breakouts any and everywhere due to stress. I learned that in graduate school. However, stress can be much more dangerous than just breakouts.
It is imperative that you get your rest!!! I remember when I worked at a law school that gave me tuition wavers. Because of those tuition waivers, I would enroll in different degree programs as soon as I graduated from the current one.
Well, when I was accepted into law school, my boss, who was an attorney, tried to admonish me about working full-time and going to law school full-time. She tried to get me to cut my work hours or attend law school part-time.
However, I was so hardheaded, I did not listen. I kept working full-time, studying full-time, taking care of my child, and going through a very stressful divorce. Well, my boss was right because one day, I found myself in the University's medical clinic.
What was the doctor's diagnosis? Stress, and he would not allow me to go home until my blood pressure rose as it had dropped too low. Moreover, my doctor would not allow me to return to work, either, for three months.
So, please be very careful because severe stress can be fatal, and if you are breaking out with a stye over your eye, that is pretty darn serious.
What are the list of the Amazon only products?
how can we search for influeners (including you) on amazon? I've tried but can't figure it out. thank you!
Hi! I just got approved for amazon influencer program and would like to submit my first 3 videos. However I have a question. Does Amazon send u an email to submit the videos or you just go to your storefront and submit videos?
Mercedes how much did you invest in equipment and what equipment did you start with?
Do you edit your videos by yourself?
Thank you so much! Did you take a course before you started?
awesome. thanks.
Is it possible to track whether a slightly higher quality and more aesthetically pleasing video (horizontal framing, simple editing transitions, low volume music, etc.) triggers more purchases over lower quality ones? I'm betting that it does. And, I guarantee that Amazon is tracking which videos trigger more purchases. If higher quality videos are triggering more purchases, those are the the videos which Amazon will obviously place in front of their buyers more often. Good job on your videos!
Tip: You can review products you have at home that you didn’t buy from Amazon 5:24
This video was very helpful and I thank you so much!!!!
Great information; I wish I would have now this sooner. Like you said it will not last long and Amazon will make it harder to get in and maybe stop the program. An excel spreadsheet is the key
Will Amazon let you post videos for Amazon Basics products?
Which social account did you use? Having trouble getting accepted
If you didn't point out the eye, we never would have noticed.
