Maximizing Income with the Amazon Influencer Program: Tips and Tricks!

If you're an influencer or content creator, chances are you've heard of the Amazon Influencer Program. 

It's a well-known platform where anyone with a social following can earn commissions by promoting and sharing shoppable videos for products sold on Amazon.
 
However, the program has undergone multiple changes over the years, and it may not be as easy to make money with it as it once was. 

This is why I've put together some essential tips and tricks to help you maximize your income with the Amazon Influencer Program.

This blog shares only a few of the tips I shared in my YouTube video if you also want to hear the other tips. I also give more in-depth details with examples as well.

 
No matter what, you have to stay on your toes with Amazon and any program you join when it comes to making money. Lack of information will result in less income for you!

Here Are A Few Tips For The Amazon Influencer Program

1. Do Your Research

One of the biggest mistakes I see people make is reviewing every product in their house in hopes of earning a commission. 

While it may seem like a good idea, not all products are in demand, and not all viewers are looking for them on Amazon. 

Instead of wasting time and effort creating videos for products that won't bring in any money, do your research first. 

Take a look at your order history on Amazon, identify which specific products are getting the attention of customers, and take note of them. 

This will help you focus your efforts on the right products and save you from spending money on unnecessary purchases.

2. Be Strategic with Your Videos

When first starting with the Amazon Influencer Program, it's important to keep in mind that not every product needs its own video. 

Some products may benefit from multiple videos, while others may only need one. It's essential to be strategic when deciding which products should get videos and which type of video would be best for that specific product. 

You can do unboxings, demonstrations, or even comparisons between similar products. 

This can add variety to your content and provide buyers with more options and information.

3. Remove Shipping Labels

If you plan on doing unboxing videos, make sure to remove the shipping label on the box before filming. 

The Amazon system can detect shipping labels in your videos, and this will lead to the rejection of your video(s). 

It's a simple step, but it can save you time and effort in the long run.

4. Avoid Promoting Your Social Media

It's important to remember that Amazon is not TikTok, Instagram, or YouTube. 

Unlike other social media platforms, Amazon does not allow influencers to promote their social media accounts or ask for followers in their videos. 

Make sure to edit out any mentions of social media in your videos to avoid rejection from the system.

5. Be Kind and Respectful

In any industry, being kind and respectful can go a long way, and this holds true for the Amazon Influencer Program as well. 

Although some may see it as a scam or dishonest, working with brands and sellers can bring in additional streams of income. 

So, when responding to emails from sellers and brands, even if you're not interested in their offer, be polite and thank them for the opportunity. 

It may not seem like much, but it can leave a lasting impression and potentially lead to future paid collaborations.

6. Build Relationships

As mentioned earlier, working with brands and sellers can bring in additional income, and building relationships is key to this. 

Brands and sellers often talk amongst themselves, and if you have a positive reputation for being kind and professional, they may pass along your name for future collaborations. 

On the other hand, if you're rude or unprofessional, they will not be inclined to recommend you for future opportunities.

7. Stay Up-To-Date on Program Changes

Lastly, it's crucial to stay updated on any changes or updates that the Amazon Influencer Program may undergo.

As mentioned earlier, the program has changed significantly over the years, and what may have worked before may not work now.

Keep an eye out for any new rules or guidelines that may affect your content or earnings.

In conclusion, while the Amazon Influencer Program may not be as easy to make money with as it once was, it's still a great platform for anyone to earn a monthly income.

By following these tips and tricks, you can maximize your income and potentially turn it into a significant source of revenue.

Remember to do your research, be strategic with your videos, and always maintain a professional and courteous demeanor when working with brands and sellers.
