Excellent video, just started trying out creator connections. I don't know why they don't have a basic guide on how it all works. The video linking thing in particular confused me. Nice job.

Please keep sharing your tips and tricks!!

[@myfavoritethingsnotreal]

I will definitely keep sharing! Every first week of the month I will be sharing my earnings reports.

[@HellaBella]

Congrats! I just got into CC like 2 weeks ago. Got accepted to AIP Aug 12 this year. I've got about 110 videos up. Slowly crafting my process and trying to maximize what I can do with this. It is a lot of work! I'm hoping it will pay off over time. I made my 1st $100 profit, so that's got me motivated.

[@myfavoritethingsnotreal]

That’s awesome! It sounds like you’re doing great!! It’s definitely a slow process but so worth it!!!

y clicking accept, you agree to the campaign as governed by the Creator Connections Associates Policy, and the campaign requirements outlined in campaign brief. Unavoidable disclosure is required on each piece of content posted for the campaign.

[@bguitarist1]

Hey im fairly new with the Amazon influencer and associate program and i got stuck here with accepting campaigns. I so glad i got to see this video it was very helpful and i hope you can help me answer more questions that i have.

[@myfavoritethingsnotreal]

Comment your questions and I will definitely make another video answering them to the best if my knowledge!

[@MichStrep12]

In the title or in the video I connect to the cc product do I need to state that it is an ad if that I make commission on the post?

@@MichStrep12 I do! I like at put #ad just in case. Gotta cover all the bases!

[@caballefam]

Thank you for this, so helpful. Been accepted for CC long time ago and I thought I can only do it with my posts.

[@myfavoritethingsnotreal]

I’m so glad I can help!

[@jrtaylor36]

How/where do you do the disclosure for creator connections videos?

[@myfavoritethingsnotreal]

On Amazon Creator Hub I put #AD in my title. If I'm linking KZbin video then I put it in the description of the video.

[@cantdoilikeruby]

Hi Jourdan, Thank you for this amazing detailed video...I do have a question...do we need to have a media kit made and ready to start accepting these campaigns???

[@myfavoritethingsnotreal]

I don’t think a media kit is necessary. I admit I haven’t made one yet, there’s something to add to the to-do list! I would accept campaigns for products I already have videos for and accept campaigns for products that I have on hand to make videos for. 👍🏼

[@Doitforyoself]

Hi.... so, when creating the video can I also copy the Amazon affiliate link into the description before I copy the new content link to the Amazon Creator URL box? And, can I add an END screen within the same KZbin video?

[@myfavoritethingsnotreal]

I don’t think the order matters for when you copy and paste into a description of a KZbin video or the creator connections page. And I always like to add an end screen at the end of my KZbin videos. I usually choose the option for KZbin to pick one of my videos that best matches the viewer.

[@INFIVE-u4m]

Thank you this helps

[@myfavoritethingsnotreal]

I’m so glad I can help!

[@DigitalKolby]

So you can just use your previously uploaded on-site videos for Creator Connections campaigns? You don't have to upload any content outside of Amazon?

[@myfavoritethingsnotreal]

Correct!

[@matiurrahman9834]

y clicking accept, you agree to the campaign as governed by the Creator Connections Associates Policy, and the campaign requirements outlined in campaign brief. Unavoidable disclosure is required on each piece of content posted for the campaign.

[@matiurrahman9834]

Should I accept it?

[@myfavoritethingsnotreal]

So all of the campaigns have this disclosure agreement. I would hit accept on any campaign that I already made a video for that exact product. I would also hit accept on campaigns where I have the product in hand. Just be mindful of end dates first campaigns, you don’t want to be surprised.

[@MamaJenFinds]

Thanks for this info! Is there a difference between copying the storefront video link with the 3 dots versus the little box/arrow button that also has a copy link option? Does it matter when sharing to CC? Thanks!

[@myfavoritethingsnotreal]

I always do the three dots that way the link is the video directly on my storefront. I don't know if it truly matters but it just makes me feel better. LOL

[@Jandazoodie]

So what happens if we accept a campaign and don't do a video?

[@myfavoritethingsnotreal]

I’m not sure. I’ve had I think 2 or 3 campaigns reach an end date before I could link any content but nothing happened. I can’t imagine it’s good though. I’m trying to be very careful and stay on Amazon’s good side!

[@HowToMakeMoneyFromHomeToday]

I'm part of this program but not part of the influencer program. Do you need to be part of the IF program to best use this?

[@myfavoritethingsnotreal]

It seems Amazon recently changed their rules around a little. Lots of associates have been invited to CC and they still get the higher commissions with affiliate links! So you’re all good!

[@AllThingsFishingandOutdoorsRev]

So if you select a campaign then go to get associate link and copy it. Then you use this link so Amazon can track that so you get the higher commissions, correct? So after that campaign ends does that link revert back to normal tracking commissions, or do you need to redo this every time one expires or ends? If I have taken a link like that and placed it in a hundred places how would you be able to go and edit this.

[@myfavoritethingsnotreal]

I’m currently working on a second video for creator connections. I’m going to tackle this exact question! Uploading video tomorrow. 👍🏼🥰

[@dianayakimenko3218]

What happens if you except and don't link a video ?

[@myfavoritethingsnotreal]

I’m not sure what happens but I think it looks bad to amazon and the seller. I would at least try to make a collage and link the product.

[@RetroRobotRadio]

Sometimes I will have a video review for a product and see multiple Creator Connections campaigns for that product. Should I submit the video to all the campaigns it qualifies for? Or just one?

[@myfavoritethingsnotreal]

You can submit for all. I have seen where the dates are slightly different for each campaign so it’s good to cover your bases.

[@RetroRobotRadio]

@@myfavoritethingsnotreal in the most extreme case I will see a bottle of nail hardener, and there are like 33 different campaigns going for it. No idea why.

[@HazelGraceFinds]

Do you have to actually buy the products?

[@myfavoritethingsnotreal]

If you’re uploading directly to amazon you must have the product in hand. If you’re uploading the video to KZbin or TikTok a screenshot is okay but it’s always good to have the product so you can genuinely recommend it.

[@IamTheeTea1.0]

Hey there, let me start by saying I love your video and please keep them coming. I learned so much from you. I would like to know when they say like the source and I choose Tictoc underneath. This is a link which link should go into into that should be the, Amazon link or Tictoc link and do I have to create a video to place on Amazon?

[@myfavoritethingsnotreal]

you don't have to place a video on amazon, although I'm not sure why you wouldn't, unless you're not officially in the influencer program yet. For a TikTok, use the link to the individual TikTok video.

[@intothesunsetgarden]

Hi! I'm curious if you would know this anwser. Let say there's a campaign for a single item, and also a campaign for the same item, but in a 2 pack (i have the 2 pack), can i do both? Do they have to be different videos?

[@myfavoritethingsnotreal]

I think as long as the review video product matches the campaign product I don’t think it matters on how many items there are. Unless having a 2pack if something changes the way it’s purchased.

[@intothesunsetgarden]

@myfavoritethingsnotreal Thanks for responding. I have tried to read all these rules and honestly feel like they don't help 😕 So I just feel like I'm left guessing!

[@shanawarafghan2613]

Great video! Do I have to share videos on my social, I’m confused about this? Or just the link to my storefront video?

[@myfavoritethingsnotreal]

You can do both! You are not required to do both you can pick either amazon or social or just amazon, or just social.

[@shanawarafghan2613]

@@myfavoritethingsnotreal Thank you! Although I got approved from my social, I do not attract offsite traffic at all, so I was wondering if I can only link to Amazon. Also- I believe if that is the case we are supposed to rename our videos to add the hashtag #AD, correct?

[@myfavoritethingsnotreal]

@@shanawarafghan2613 Yes! I always ad #AD :D

[@shanawarafghan2613]

@@myfavoritethingsnotrealhello. I just accepted my first CC and was so excited to see that I had already posted videos for two of the products in the campaign. I had a question though. I went ahead and connected the urls to the campaign, but because I edited the video names to end with #AD, the videos went into pending mode and obviously are waiting to be approved again, which means the links I posted don’t work. i’m just waiting for the pending videos to be published so that I can post the new links. Having said that, do I have to do this every time and edit my videos to add this #ad? Or is it just something that everyone does? I’m also assuming that they may have been removed from the carousel and would be uploaded as fresh videos. could you please clarify on this? Thank you

[@myfavoritethingsnotreal]

@ don’t worry about coping the link after the videos go back to publish. It’s the same url for the videos before and after the title change. And do worry about it saying pending or anything. As long as you connected the links to the campaign you are all good and can move on to the next task.

[@Ella-n6u7b]

Thanks for the video! I just have a few questions if you're willing to answer. I started creator connections a few weeks ago and see that I have made some commissions on creator connections. But I don't see those commissions transferring over into my onsite or affiliate storefront. Have you seen the creator connection commissions on your net 60 pay?

[@myfavoritethingsnotreal]

I believe CC earnings will be added to your offsite earnings paycheck. So dont worry!

[@abbeynowicki8293]

Hey Jourdan, so i am totally a hands on learner. I seriously appreciate your videos, but i'd really like to ask some questions and i need someone to walk me through this. I don't know anyone else who is on cc yet to ask. I know we are complete strangers but just like you said, send a message and ask. The worst they can say is no... so i'm asking. is there a way we can do a phone call or zoom and you can help me get started?? i may have accepted a couple campaigns without having the product on hand! I'm so new to social media and overwhelmed. I just need some extra help here! But i get it if you say no. Its a left field request for you I'm sure!! But i promise i'm nice and not a weirdo!

[@myfavoritethingsnotreal]

Hi! So, I think what you’re asking for is better suited for a coach. I’m definitely not experienced enough for that. There are several coaches on TikTok that do one on one sessions. I think you probably are better off than you realize though. Highly recommend looking up Can Eye here on KZbin. He recently did a video on creator connections that is very helpful. Also, @amzinfluencers he has tons of videos as well.

[@abbeynowicki8293]

@@myfavoritethingsnotreal OMG, i had no odea there were coaches for this sort of thing lol. Ok i will look up his videos, Thank you so much!

[@amyf08]

So you only have to make one video when you accept for the creator connections?

[@myfavoritethingsnotreal]

correct! In fact you don't even have to make a video, you can also make a collage, an instagram post, or blog post. Just as long as you showcase the product. 🥰

[@tyraetienne2126]

So do you can only access this on desktop?

[@myfavoritethingsnotreal]

You can access on your phone through the web browser, not the app, however it's much easier to navigate on desktop.

[@jenniferwulf3918]

You mention the special program making 30 sec reviews as an influencer for the special promo they ran. I was psyched about that too & make ALL THE VIDEOS. But, no word yet. Have you heard back? I thought Oct. 31 we'd hear. Maybe I'm not looking in the right place???

[@staciag]

Thank you for the video.

[@myfavoritethingsnotreal]

[@asucalshares]

What will happen if accept without delivering?

[@myfavoritethingsnotreal]

There hasn’t been any word on what happens if you do not make a video and upload to creator hub. However, affiliate links are also something you can do with an Instagram post, blog post or even a community post on KZbin. It’s best to purchase the product if the brand does not send a sample.

[@BusinessStar777]

how do you get a lot of clicks you are good seller

[@myfavoritethingsnotreal]

Thank you! There’s so many ways to get people to click: attractive thumbnails, titles that leave them wanting more, and of course products that they actually want.

[@modernweddinginvitations]

This is helpful, thank you! Does the content for the campaign have to be new or posted within the dates of the brand's campaign? Or am I able to join a current campaign but including a storefront post from last year? I can't find anything on Amazon to figure this stuff out 🙃

[@myfavoritethingsnotreal]

Content does not have to be new! You can use existing content in any campaign! Go for it!

@@modernweddinginvitations I've heard you can feature up to 3 products but I wouldn't do anymore than that.

[@suzsuggest]

When filling out the form for free samples.. the last question "Are you willing to promote these products on a montly basis for at least 12 months? (1 video per month per product)"..... do you answer that "NO?" I was thinking "no" is the correct answer, but just wanted to double check best way to answer. Thanks in advance!

[@myfavoritethingsnotreal]

I would say no, but you could try to negotiate with payed videos. Like maybe say first video is in exchange for the product then I’m willing to produce three more videos at this amount each. That way you can start a relationship with the brand. If you’re interested in that of course.
