💚 ABOUT CREATE WITH PENNIES 💚
I started selling digital downloads to go along with my KZbin channel in 2019 and fell in love with digital products. It’s been my favorite creative hobby and one of my best, most consistent income streams that earns me money every month even if I don’t work on it. On this channel I love sharing creative projects and all the info I’ve learned about how to create and sell digital downloads for passive income.
💛 AFFILIATE LINKS 💛
The channel description contains affiliate links. I get commissions for purchases you make through links shown here. It doesn't affect your purchase in any way and the commissions help support this channel.

I'm just 3 minutes into the video, and I had to comment to say, thank you for keeping it real, and not telling us you made 10 million dollars in 3 weeks lol. I appreciate your realism! I was just accepted into this program and I'm looking forward to see what happens. Wishing you well.

[@CreateWithPennies]

Ha, I wish I had but no! I do make between $1,200 - $2,000 every month now which is great for a secondary income stream, but it wasn’t instant and it is actually a decent amount of work. I’m surprised so many people are pretending it’s passive and you’ll instantly earn so much.

[@Sandoczka]

​@CreateWithPennies Hi, I just approved! How many videos are you thinking is great to starting to do the difference? For Every month? And also, only videos you can do for onsite commissions? Thank you

[@JulieEbersole]

Your honesty is so appreciated. The time and effort spent on good quality video production (on a constant basis) with the unpredictability/no guarantee of (any) income is definitely something to take a close, hard look at.

[@karie_brown]

Thanks for the honesty ❤

[@shemaiahdenise]

Thanks for the realistic amount and truth about the program. I just got approved today and am looking forward to the extra income.

[@CreateWithPennies]

Enjoy! Any extra income is great!

[@tedd7028]

How has your first month been?

[@hiddengemsdfw]

Thank you for sharing the number of videos in your journey as this helps!

[@CreateWithPennies]

You are so welcome!

[@tamalie25]

Thank you for your honesty 👍🏾

[@CreateWithPennies]

Always!

[@pierrelouis8578]

Thank you, Penny for your honesty and all the insight.

[@TaronTeague]

Thank you for being so honest! This was great. I'm just getting started and was wondering if I should take a course. I think I just need to keep making videos

[@CreateWithPennies]

Honestly you learn the most from your own trial and error! I’m working on a course because some people enjoy having step by step in one place and I can share contact information for paid collabs, but the best way to learn is always taking action.

[@lorismoore1612]

I’m so glad to hear someone give the truth of how it works.

[@CreateWithPennies]

Trying to be honest since I keep seeing people saying things that aren’t true. It’s hard work and definitely not completely passive income.

[@habibehhashemi2489]

Thanks sister for this video. I watched 2 of your video, I honestly appreciate your time and the content ❤❤❤❤❤

[@CreateWithPennies]

Glad it was helpful!

[@lukecoe1]

Thanks for this, i see youre running a course any discount codes?

[@hellomranderson]

Thanks for sharing your honest feedback. I believe it is good as a second income which you really does not rely on it to survive. I think it is a good amount of miney in a short time comparing to youtube for example.

[@CreateWithPennies]

Very few people could survive on this income stream alone long term. Amazon also has a history of making changes that reduce income for programs like this so it would be very risky.

[@avpfilms27]

Great video! Love the honesty!

[@CreateWithPennies]

Thanks for watching!

[@catgodfrey6451]

Thank you for sharing 😊❤😊

[@MountainMama96]

Thank you for this video. I hope you do a 1 year update!! ❤

[@CreateWithPennies]

I’m going to! I was going to let July finish and maybe do prime day to prime day. 🥳

[@JHJohnson]

I haven’t started yet. I want to practice making videos to get comfortable before trying to apply. I also need to research exactly all the steps to get approved

[@CreateWithPennies]

You can do it! Practice is always a good choice.

[@Sandoczka]

Hi, today not approved my first 3 videos, I don't know if can send same products make again the audio or I have to do different products, also if possible talk in another language with subtitles in English? I will appreciate your advise, thank you!

[@CreateWithPennies]

You can do the same products. I would do it in English.

[@marlotuaty8251]

Thank you - you are probably that is pretty honest . Where do you go to see how much money you made for your reviews only ? Not what I sold on my store front.

[@CreateWithPennies]

They don't give you super detailed analytics. All you can see if "off-site" vs "on-site" commissions.

[@TheMeinda]

Thanks for sharing! I have been on the program for about 6 months. This is the worse month yet on earnings. I have close to 200 videos. Top monthly has been $450 ish I keep thinking add more will result in more income. I do not feel like I am gaining any traction

[@CreateWithPennies]

Thanks for sharing!

[@MIGolfLive]

My first 8 videos are now up and I keep checking to see when the views and purchases start rolling in. How long does it normally take for results to appear?

[@CreateWithPennies]

You will be waiting a while! It can take time to even have your videos shown. If the video is popular and lots of influencers already made videos then yours may not even get a chance. This is especially true now the program is VERY saturated. 8 videos is generally not enough to see many purchases so you’ll likely want to make more.

[@ARBOLISTAEdgarGarcia]

Thank you for sharing this

[@Adventureswithbecky]

Are you having to buy the products you review?

[@CreateWithPennies]

You either need to own them or be in a position to film them from someone that does. You shouldn’t film stuff off shelves in stores.

[@youwatchytb]

Hey ! I hope you gonna see this comment ! I did have a question : do you know why sometimes we submit a video for a product but the video is not showed on the product page ? (Sometimes I see there is only one video from an influencor and it's really really basic, but they won't show up mine). Why

[@CreateWithPennies]

Because Amazon controls what shows up. Unfortunately there isn’t more info on why than that.

[@youwatchytb]

@@CreateWithPennies Thanks for your reply, Do you know if it's amazon or the seller ? I only have 20% of my videos that are visible.... And I do think they are still good content ! :)

[@Blossom2Fitness]

Have you noticed any trends in what type of product reviews do better for you? Clothes, kids products, household etc….

[@CreateWithPennies]

For me it’s super random! Some people specialize but I’ve had success in all the categories you mentioned. I will say that while clothes sell really well hey also have waaaay more returns than any other category.

[@Blossom2Fitness]

@@CreateWithPennies thanks for your response

[@Sonia-d8y]

I’m having trouble getting my TikTok account approved for Amazon influenza? Any tips

[@sandrafromscotland]

You're good at reviewing Mary. How do I find your Amazon storefront?

[@CreateWithPennies]

Thanks! I can send it to you.

[@sandrafromscotland]

@@CreateWithPennies Yes please

[@bethanyharris1368]

Can you send it to me too? Is the storefront for like affiliate links?

[@CreateWithPennies]

What’s your email?

[@sandrafromscotland]

@@CreateWithPennies I found it from another one of your videos!

[@abbyw5270]

Is it better to post vertical or horizontal videos?

[@CreateWithPennies]

They both work! Amazon seems to be pushing for vertical videos but many creators prefer horizontal.

[@elizabethdonley3910]

How many videos do you have total?

[@CatinaWillis]

I was expecting to earn a lot more. 🤦🏽‍♀️ Maybe associates will be better since i won't hace to record videos

[@CreateWithPennies]

Honestly it’s been flooded by new influencers in the last two years so commissions are lower for people. More videos means they cycle thru videos more so you get knocked off and lose commissions.

[@AllThingsFishingandOutdoorsRev]

Can I share my amazon store front link with anyone? Anywhere? Like emails? I am part of their Influencer onsite paid program. So if I have a link to my Amazon storefront on my KZbin or Facebook page what is to stop anyone clicking on them and buying thru said links? If they are public viewed pages. They say you cannot share with family, but what is to stop someone going thru your store if it is a public viewed page?

[@CreateWithPennies]

Answered your other comment

[@adnanm9958]

How many videos did you upload for this 6 month period?

[@Dominantredpillwarriors]

She only did 209 videos 😂 o dod around 260 my first month

[@CreateWithPennies]

Yes a bit over 200. Which was great for the results I achieved. If you want to churn out a ton of videos you can.

[@jeyreign]

@@Dominantredpillwarriorshow many $ did you earn with all the videos you did ?

[@sarahkelly9270]

Where is the video that explains how to get accepted into the reviewer commissions to get paid for doing video reviews.

[@CreateWithPennies]

Yes you can share your storefront link with anyone and everyone. Why would you not want someone to click through and buy? Amazon will not count any friends and family purchases but otherwise I'm not sure what the problem would be.

[@AllThingsFishingandOutdoorsRev]

@@CreateWithPennies How can they tell who your friends or family are? I can see if teh same IP address but say my mom lives a 1000 miles from here? Thanks

[@CreateWithPennies]

They can! I'm not sure how they determine it but they have their ways. Definitely last names, ip addresses, if they have shipped anything to your address before, etc.

[@AllThingsFishingandOutdoorsRev]

@@CreateWithPennies I thinking more indirect friends families. Like my buddy who lives in a whole other city. Or a cousin in a different state and so on.

[@CreateWithPennies]

Feel free to ask Amazon if they will tell you! I’m sure indirect can go through unless it’s huge amounts that are suspicious.

[@Dominantredpillwarriors]

You only have 200 vidoes I made 263 videos my first month it took 6 months to make 200 videos wow 😂

[@CreateWithPennies]

Congrats? How much did you make with that in your first month? This is a side hustle for me I didn’t spend a ton of time on it or try to make 200 videos in a month.

[@timmybec06]

I'm curius as well, how much have you made and what do you average per month?
