[@GrantButler]

I'm glad it helped!

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

What camera do you use? Beautiful footage. I’m 7 years in and need another video camera

[@GrantButler]

[@tyeisheaconner7776]

Thank you for this video i keep seeing my personal amazon xart when i send my link im scared to post it on social media do you do consulting calls i am new to the amazon influncer program

[@GrantButler]

I haven't before, but I can answer some questions for you if you need.

[@tyeisheaconner7776]

Thank you I would love that are you open to utilizing a zoom call or doing a feature I also have an youtube channel I am still learning but I am more than open for paying for your time

[@tradingwithtravis6896]

how can I upload videos from my phone?

[@GrantButler]

Go to www.amazon.com/creatorhub Be sure to use my name if it asks how you heard about it

[@Sue-xk1xk]

Going into "create content" then to "create Idea List", my page looks a little different. It's asking for the title then to add at least two products, which I did. When I submitted the two products, I got a notification that they will have to review. Did I miss a step?

[@GrantButler]

That may be new to prevent spam & bots

[@laramorris5045]

How do you get the link from facebook and youtube?

[@GrantButler]

You go to the page you want to link, and click the share page button and you can use that link

[@julieo1877]

@@GrantButlerI tried doing this , but can you let me know exactly? Because it denies my URL link :( idk what I’m doing wrong 😢 please help

[@woodsoncircle]

My sister applied for Influencer and got approved with under 375 followers. In my opinion, Amazon is looking for interaction, comments, and *engagement* more than anything. Follower count on any social media platform ... not so much.

[@GrantButler]

True

[@DaDivaJustMe]

@@GrantButler they turned me down with 500 subs ...

[@GrantButler]

@@DaDivaJustMe must not be getting enough engagement. Make sure you reply to all your comments

[@tyeisheaconner7776]

Correct I got approved with 427 on tiktok

[@seangallagher1726]

Let us know how you get on! A follow up would be great

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

When out of your computer and you open up Amazon.com how do you find your storefront? And how do you find a link for someone to try prime for 3 months for example?

[@GrantButler]

Its usually Amazon.com/shop/ (your name or your stores name) for the prime free trial, go to your associates site, and under Idea hub there should be links to 30day trials, some times its 90days, and other times its 50%off 1yr.

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

@@GrantButler thanks for your time! I think I finally got it after all these years lol.

[@GrantButler]

@@TravelTipsbyLaurie glad to hear it

[@truckingmilesandmoney8064]

So we have to have an affiliate account with 3 purchased before applying for the influencer?

[@GrantButler]

No, you have to have an affiliate account & enough subscribers or followers

[@truckingmilesandmoney8064]

@@GrantButler Got it! I’m signing up for my affiliate account now then. I have close to 5k on YT and about the same on IG so hopefully I’ll get accepted. Thank you for the great video.

@truckingmilesandmoney8064 you got this 👍 good luck! Sorry to hear about your neck and back problems.

I'm trying to get access directly on my laptop but I can't find the option to open it on my laptop. Can I get some help please.

[@GrantButler]

What do you mean? You should be able to follow the same steps, the screen will look a little different, but the steps should be the same

[@CelesteMarquez-c4v]

if you forgot to add things to your bio, how do you go back and edit your storefront page where the bio should be?

[@GrantButler]

www.amazon.com/shop/ (YOURSHOP'S NAME) and there will be an edit button on the top of the page

[@shannawhitaker8732]

I’m trying to set this up and it’s telling me to enter full URL for KZbin. I’m putting that but it won’t accept it.

[@GrantButler]

Are you putting in the "https//:" part?

Does the link your copying have at the beginning?

Mine is doing the same exact thing. It won’t let me move on.

@Authentic Ahsine’t are you using a full link or is it one without the "https"?

[@queendiamond4085]

@@GrantButler I already did.

[@GrantButler]

@@queendiamond4085 you already did what? Figured it out, or used the url with the https?

[@MommyTrails]

So if someone clicks on our tagged brand and buy we get commission?

[@GrantButler]

Yes, if someone clicks one of your links then buys ANYTHING on Amazon, you'll get commission for that entire purchase.

[@MommyTrails]

Where to add that link on Instagram

[@user-dz4fh1kz9s]

Please help me ! I keep getting an error after I grant access to my IG. It’s an error 400 meta activity is turned off ?! Idk how to fix this

Thank you , I tried that and still didn’t work ! I’ll try again

[@Afzal_PSY]

I have a question If someone goes to the product page through my influencer storefront under these conditions, does the influencer program generate a cookie for 24 hours , or does only the associates program generate a cookie?

[@GrantButler]

I think they have to actually click on a specific product to create the cookie tracking

[@officialmkbieber]

Boss I’m finding it difficult to understand the product Iisting

[@GrantButler]

What do you mean?

[@DaDivaJustMe]

hi grant, how many subscribers do i need for youtube/amazon i thought it was 500

[@GrantButler]

They never say. I used my Twitter, I'd recommend. People use their Tiktok account because it's pretty easy to hit 2k which I think is the threshold for tiktok

[@leannebretanha8034]

how do you get paid your commission you earn? And how often do you get paid?

[@GrantButler]

I get paid through my Amazon affiliate account every month on the 28th (3 months after the month it was sold so Amazon can account for returns & cancelations). You can get paid via direct deposit, mailed a check(for a fee), or in Anazon Gift Cards. Also, Amazon created a second affiliate account that tracks commissions from just the affiliate account posts.

[@avaarodriguez]

Do you use your existing personal Amazon account when creating an Amazon storefront? Or do you create a new Amazon account that's just for your storefront?

[@GrantButler]

I use my existing, personal one.

[@brick3815]

Hey Grant! I was wondering how many subs you had when you got accepted. also can I get accepted if i have youtube shorts only?

[@GrantButler]

I had 3k on tiktok I think

[@thegoodfight4990]

the engagement of your audience is more important to Amazon..the more engaged your audience is the more they see them as warm traffic..my son just got accepted with 11k subs almost all from shorts

[@kitt_family]

Can you tell me how you resolved it?

[@GrantButler]

Resolved what?

[@Brzzyswrld]

For some reason it won’t allow me to use instagram. It tells me my password is wrong error when the password is correct.

[@GrantButler]

Are you sure you're using the right username?

[@Brzzyswrld]

@@GrantButler Yes I put the correct login information. But before I click login, it says please try again later. I’m not sure if they’re not allowing anyone to use instagram or what.

[@alanpowers6624]

What size should the profile photo be?

[@GrantButler]

I haven't hit any limits on image size

[@nicolemc2263]

So I tried doing this and it didn’t work. I have 2 IG accounts under 1 email and they won’t let you decide which one you want to use for the Amazon storefront. And it always picks the account that is a private account and I have no way of switching that as far as I know. Any tips would be helpful :) thanks!

[@GrantButler]

Create a second email account and link it to the IG account you want to use. That might help

[@lifewithlaniDUH]

Is the verification where we add our pages the same thing as informing Amazon that I’ll be sharing my links to certain sites? I want to add to linktree but I don’t want to get in trouble for not letting them know.

[@GrantButler]

Verification is what platform you use to prove that you have enough influence, and engagement for Amazon to let you into the program.

[@kitt_family]

Sorry. I was replying to a user that had the same issue I have. When setting up my influencer profile ( already approved as an influencer) it says enter a full URL for FB and KZbin and I can’t get past this page. Amazon customer service is no help.

[@GrantButler]

Oh weird i hope you figure it out

You can't use a personal Facebook page, it has to be one set up as a influencer or creator.

[@GrantButler]

That's not very many, also they look at your channel analytics like how much you post, how many views you get, and the viewer engagement. Don't give up. Try again at 5k, 8K, and 10K. You may also consider using other social pages too. IF YOUR VIDEOS ON INSTAGRAM ARE LIKE THE ONE ON HERE YOU WILL NEVER GET ACCEPTED. POST REAL CONTENT MADE BY YOU.
