EVERYTHING You Need To Know About The Amazon Influencer Program

[@disney-with-sarah8485]

I have been in the program for 3 months: month 1: $56 / month 2: $110 month 3: $350

[@CreateWithPennies]

Great job!!!

[@SimoneandPat]

That's amazing..how many videos are you uploading per month

[@disney-with-sarah8485]

@@SimoneandPat not as many as I should be! Like 30

[@ChrissyLove]

Hi there! How did you get to the page where you upload those videos to consideration for the Shoppable program? I've uploaded videos to my Storefront but I don't think I've put them in the right place.

[@ChrissyLove]

@@beccaperkins Thanks! I actually found the page I needed - the Creator Hub. For some reason I couldn't find it on my Dashboard so I had to Google it and find it from the outside in.

[@AriyanaSpeaks]

Girl you are giving me life!! I finally got my commissions

[@CreateWithPennies]

Yay! Congrats!

[@Funmom.reviews]

Congrats! I've been waiting for a week and I'm dying of impatience 😂😂

[@azuretony]

I am horrible at social media. Especially with picking anything to get engagement. I've attempted for years with different accounts and niches and as many tutorials and types of advice I follow, somehow I can never make it work. I am so envious of you and others I see making real money with this program. You are amazing.

[@CreateWithPennies]

Social media is HARD! It’s not for everyone. I’ve been making content for over a decade but have only done it full time the last two years. Don’t get down on yourself about it but keep learning if you really want it!

[@HelloThereMaggie]

I just got approved today, Thursday and submitted Monday. So, 3 days for Onsite Commissions on my first attempt. I used my Pixel phone and natural sunlight coming into the room with a simple background. I did add those videos onto my youtube account and linked my amazon store as well as my affiliate link to the products in the description. Each video was 1:40-1:55 minutes long. I shot some panning B roll and even did a time lapse. Probably more than what was needed but I wanted it to get approved. I was more active on KZbin, by commenting on channels that I get value from. I also worked on my store by making lists and ideas. I hope that helps!

[@CreateWithPennies]

Congrats on your approval!

[@carasiaone]

Awesome content :) I just got into doing this as I am new to the USA, addicted to Amazon shopping and also create stuff, so triple win, I hope! Really nice video with awesome cuts to b-roll to illustrate the story

[@LisaKilgourNutritionist]

This is a great video! Thank you for such a clear explanation :)

[@CreateWithPennies]

Glad it was helpful!

[@HearBestBigSmile]

I've uploaded 3 videos for the on-site commission and waiting for the approval. Wish me the best of luck :) Btw thanks for your useful contents here. Keep doing a good jobs :)

How do I know when I’ve been approved for the second part? My videos say published and aren’t in review anymore.

Best video on this topic I have found you actually explained everything and how it works thank you so much!

[@CreateWithPennies]

[@EJourdanLewis]

I got approved four days ago and already my first 3 videos were denied. I uploaded 3 new ones and two of them say "published" and within moments the most recent says "In review." Could they already be reviewing my account? That's crazy fast!

[@CreateWithPennies]

It can be fast to get the videos reviewed. Usually the longest wait if people applying to get into the program.

[@juliejabs_]

Wow! So much info I think I’m already in this program.. I was creating a store/ list where I could just share products I use and people ask about… I know it says “Associate” somewhere 😆 I’ve never submitted any videos so it sounds like I need to do those 3 to get the ok…. THeN I can start making unlimited review videos?? Also if you have a niche for business- should you stick to only those things or does it not affect that at all? Thanks so much!!!

[@CreateWithPennies]

Yes submit videos in order to get approved and start earning from videos. Any Amazon Influencer can earn from photos and lists before that. It doesn't affect it on Amazon's site. You can review anything. If you want to be well known for something and use the same content on amazon and off then sticking to a niche is usually better.

[@rhondamason5850]

Such a great video, very informative. I have a question. The three videos you send in for approval. Do they put those on the Amazon sight for people or not? Also, do you put all three videos in at once or when you get one done, go ahead and upload it while working on the others?

[@CreateWithPennies]

They do one they are approved! You can do it all at once or one at a time but you can’t be placed on site until all three are done and approved by Amazon.

[@rhondamason5850]

@@CreateWithPennies thank you!

[@captaindrewcavanaugh]

My first 3 videos were rejected but I cannot find where they say the reason is for this? Would you know where this is located? I hear people say it is next to the video but I don't see this. Thanks

[@CreateWithPennies]

Answered on your other comment. Basically where you are looking is for specific reasons like giving medical advice or saying the price in the video. They don’t give video quality feedback, so your videos might just not have been good enough but they don’t give that type of feedback. You just have to improve the videos and try again.

[@WiFiGuy]

Hi! Great content! I got approved immediately but now I'm hearing I need to have an active social media page to get my 3 videos approved. Is that true? I haven't posted to my KZbin channel in a year.

[@CreateWithPennies]

It depends! Hard to say for sure. Some people are still in the program with pages that aren’t active but I’ve heard a couple people say they’ve been removed because of it so it probably depends on if Amazon reviews your account. There is nothing official about it but the program is for active influencers on other platforms so it wouldn’t hurt to keep an active page!

[@jessicahibbard2593]

Thanks! This was a great informative video ❤❤❤

[@aliciawiltz3433]

How do I know if I am in the program already? I am already in the associate program and it is showing something about a creator connections

[@captaindrewcavanaugh]

My first 3 videos were rejected for onsite commission but I cannot find where they say the reason is for these rejections? Would you know where this is located? I went to "manage video" and not there. I hear people say it is next to the video but I don't see this. Thanks This was the only message I got from Amazon, but no exact reason: "Your videos were not approved to be featured on our product pages. Please try again. After review, we have determined your videos don't meet our video quality requirements. These requirements must be met to be shown on placements outside your storefront, such as a product's details page. To be reconsidered for additional placements outside of your storefront, please delete all your existing videos and upload at least 3 new videos that meet our best practices. Please note that we limit the number of cumulative reviews to 3 per influencer."

[@CreateWithPennies]

It should have a reason under manage video if it’s something like you shared personal info or gave medical advice - big no nos. They don’t give a specific reason if it’s based on video quality - bad lighting, bad sound, etc.

[@adriennebrown6032]

For the initial 3 videos- Can I record my videos in great lighting and then do a voice over on the view as I’m showing the product?

You’re video is great thanks for the info! I’m so confused bc I am accepted and uploaded 4 videos now they all are published on my storefront but nowhere does it say accepted or denied for onsite commissions. Do you get an email or how do you see notification one way or the other? I must be missing something 😢

[@ashleysoennichsen4262]

It is definitely confusing. Mine were published just recently too but that doesn't mean you are accepted yet. They're still reviewing them. From what I've read, you should have a congrats pop up when you go to your storefront I think. Or get an email. Also if you type in Amazon creator hub on google it will show from that site if your videos are still "locked". Hope that helps!

I’m having this same issue right now. Do you have an update? Did you ever figure this out?

On the topic of making video's for product pages without video's is a myth... That's the video's I target and it's paying off.... Try it... Just a little tip... Cheers

[@CreateWithPennies]

It was previously not worth doing because you wouldn’t show up but Amazon is ALWAYS changing and yes I’ve now made sales from products without manufacturer videos. This program literally changes week to week on video placements and possibilities… both good and bad.

[@YoshiToshiSamYou]

What is the difrrent betweent it and affilaite program. Because im useing affilate for now . And i was thinking if j could put the profuct i like on the unfeluencee for better organization. The problem is i cant do vedios because i dont have the product in my hands

[@CreateWithPennies]

Affiliate is off site sharing of links, Influence is mainly on Amazon's website itself.

[@abbyw5270]

Can I upload videos through the app or does it need to be on the webpage?

[@CreateWithPennies]

You can definitely use the app on your phone. Some people only do it that way.

@@CreateWithPennies awesome! I’ve posted a number of reviews but haven’t seen any commission come through even tho my videos have views. How long does it take to see that commission?

[@newyorke172]

Do you have to buy the products your recommending? Seems like you would spend more than you make.

[@CreateWithPennies]

You have to have them in hand yes, but many people have hundreds of things they already bought that are sold on Amazon. Beyond that people research products to find the right ones and spend less than they make. That’s the goal at least!

[@TheCulinaryReview]

I’ve been accepted to start earning commissions on videos posted to Amazon, how do I know which products are eligible for commissions? You said some don’t pay…

[@CreateWithPennies]

On videos the seller can not participate so if there are no videos you won’t earn from on the actual product page but can earn from your storefront.

[@wendyvarner3498]

What if you have a product that could have or could not have actually come from Amazon but Amazon has the exact same one. Can you review those? Also could I do a product review on my influencer account that was purchased through my husband’s Amazon account?

[@wheatbythewayside]

Should you stick within a niche with your videos or can you make reviews for just about anything you've purchased from amazon?

[@CreateWithPennies]

You can do anything! Every video could potentially be seen. If you want to build a following outside on a platform like TikTok or KZbin then stick with a niche is usually good advice.

It can be products you already own that are sold on Amazon.

[@CreateWithPennies]

You can earn from other posts in your storefront like photos and lists!

[@NeeksFinds]

Can the Amazon associates make videos and receive commission as well?

[@CreateWithPennies]

Yes! You can do both but you have to apply to the influencer side of the program to do so!

If using Tiktok can it be your personal page or does it have to be a business page?

[@lisaanne3485]

I mean to apply for the program. :)

[@jjonsb]

You have to buy the products your reviewing?

You should have them in hand and not film in stores. Usually that means buying them or already owning them or borrowing from a friend even.

[@SharpCookie]

Clothes are the most returned items on Amazon by far. If the customer buys your product but then returns it, you won’t get a commission. I know a lot of Amazon Influencers who avoid doing clothing reviews altogether for this reason. You might want to try other product categories and see if your analytics improve!
