Before You Panic About the Amazon Changes- Read This
Alright, I feel like I have been quiet lately (I just got a new litter of foster kittens 😍) during all the emails from Amazon and I wanted to jump in here and talk about the recent Amazon changes- because I know a lot of you are feeling it and truth be told- so am I. I won't pretend to have all the answers but I have had some time to think about it a reflect and here are my thoughts. Yes… they are making things harder, but also-let’s be honest-they’re making things fairer. Amazon is shifting away from paying people for content they didn’t create, products they don’t own, or sales they didn’t actually influence, and while that does reduce some of the easy money that existed before… it also removes a lot of the noise. Less spam. Less AI junk. Less people gaming the system. And that creates more space for people who are actually putting in real effort and building this properly. I know it feels detrimental in the moment, especially as early Influencers but I don’t think this is the end of the Amazon Influencer Program. I think it’s the beginning of a cleaner, more competitive version of it, combined with a shift Amazon is forcing- onsite reviews was never meant to be a stand alone earning opportunity. It was create as an incentive and reward if you will for influencers for driving traffic to Amazon and rightfully so, Amazon is bringing it back to it's origin and it wants offsite contributions. Here’s the part that really matters though… What we’re doing in this group has NEVER been about relying on one stream of income or onsite reviews alone. We’ve been building:→ Multiple income streams from one video→ On-site + off-site strategies→ and transferable skills (content, conversion, product research) So even if commissions shift… Even if things slow down temporarily… even if they lower onsite commissions- You are NOT starting from scratch. Now- real talk. I’ve felt a bit disheartened the last few days too. I’ve put a lot into this group, and I care about you guys getting results. But I don’t believe any of this has been a waste of time. Not even close.
