I did it!!! May has been such a fun month, and it’s helped me see where this whole program really can go! Keep at it because it really works if you stay on it consistently. And thank you to each of you who has answered questions, bounced ideas around, and shared strategies & tips. I don’t think I’d be this consistent without the accountability of community!

I know I posted the commission changes last night, so I hope you all had a chance to feel your feelings, maybe have a little cry about it, vent to your husband, your friend, your dog… whatever you needed to do. And now- we move on. Because naturally, I’ve spent the last 24+ hours doing what I always do when something like this happens… I went down the rabbit hole. I watched a ton of videos, listened to other creators (including a lot of the ones we all follow), and really thought long and hard about what this actually means for us moving forward. And here’s where I’ve landed… I still do NOT think this is the end of the Amazon Influencer Program. Not even close. Yes- on-site commissions got cut. And yes, that sucks. I’m not going to sugar-coat that. But when you actually zoom out and look at the numbers, we’re really talking about a 1–2% difference. That’s it. Onsite commission percentages were never very high. And if you’ve been around long enough, you know this isn’t the first time. A few years ago, commissions were sitting around 4–8%. Then they dropped to 2–4% and guess what- people continued to make really good $$. Now we’re sitting around 0.5–3%. So yes- it’s lower. But this isn’t some shocking, apocalyptic collapse. And what this really does is force us to get more intentional. If we’re being honest, there was a period of time where people were making money a little too easily—on products they didn’t own, content they didn’t really create , and just low-effort uploads. Which sucks in the short term for those of us who have been authentically growing while also reaping the benefits but it also creates more space for people who are actually willing to do this properly. That’s us and really- everything we’ve been doing in this group was already building toward this. More focus on product research. More focus on choosing the right products. Leaning into Creator Connections. And not relying on just one stream of income. If you’ve been here since January and actually following the weekly challenge, you know this was structured intentionally and the goal has always been multiple income streams from 1 video.

Unfortunately we had some technical glitches so instead of it highlighting Claire, yall get to stare and me starring awkwardly at her the whole time 🤣 I am going to be doing some editing and probably break it into smaller pieces but I didn't want you guys to have to wait so here it is! Also- I am super excited to offer anyone who decides to sign up for her course a $100 rebate that you can cash in after the 30 day refund period PLUS 3 months of free premium within this Skool group so you get both the ultimate strategy and the accountability inside this group along side access to all of my resources. Watch it here! Course link is here. You only have until the 18th to sign up with Claire for this cohort starting on the 20th! Feel free to drop any added questions below or directly on the YouTube video. Hope this is helpful!!

At some point, you signed up to learn about making money with Amazon… And if I had to guess, one of three things probably happened: - You got busy and never really started - You looked into it a bit… but weren’t sure if it was worth it - Or you tried, but it felt slow, confusing, or kind of all over the place and you just sorta quit.. Totally fair. Because the truth is - when you’re starting out, it can feel like you’re putting in time for very little return… and it’s hard to know if you’re even doing the right things but honestly with the right strategy- there is still so much potential in this program and that’s exactly why I wanted to reach out. This Monday, April 13th (that's tomorrow or today depending on when you read your emails) from 12:30–1:30 PM PST, I’m hosting a free live training with a highly sought-after Amazon Influencer coach- Data Coach Claire ( a pro earning over 100k/year with Amazon Onsite Alone) and we’re breaking down what’s actually working right now (especially with all the recent changes happening). We’re starting with the big stuff: 👉 What the recent Amazon changes really mean 👉 Whether this is a temporary dip or something bigger 👉 And how to move forward without second-guessing everything Then we’re getting into: - What actually moves the needle (and what’s wasting your time) - The biggest mistakes beginners are making right now - What high-converting videos actually look like - How to approach product research once you’re past “random items” - What makes a product worth your time (and what doesn’t) - Buying vs. requesting products (and where Creator Connections fits in) - Brand deals, pricing, and when they actually make sense - Which platforms are worth your time right now We’ll also be talking about what the early days actually looked like for her- because she’s created over 3,500 videos… and I want you to hear what it really took to get there. And you’ll be able to ask questions live if you want to. If you’ve been on the fence, or if this has just been sitting in the back of your mind… This is a really good chance to take a proper look at it, get up to date information and all without committing to anything. It's completely free.

I want to have a really honest moment with you guys for a second. Lately, Amazon has been… frustrating. And if I’m being real, even I’ve had moments where I’ve questioned things a bit. Not because this doesn’t work- because I have been down this rabbit hole several times- but because it just feels so unpredictable right now, and that can mess with your head, especially if you’re newer. But behind the scenes, I’ve been deep in the back end of this group, organizing things, working on better practice tutorials and watching interviews with people who are still doing really well with the Amazon Influencer Program (yes- i do watch them all before I post them!) some for years, some for less than a year. And there’s a pattern I can’t ignore: 👉 Every single one of them has tried multiple side hustles 👉 Every single one of them said Amazon is one of the simplest and most effective 👉 And most importantly they agree- it works if you work it But here’s the other truth: Amazon is ALWAYS changing. There have been multiple times over the past few years where people said “it’s dead”… and every single time, the people who stayed consistent are the ones who came out ahead. I myself have pivoted more than once because a) shiny syndrome b)the lack of control c)the unpredictability but every single time I come back to Amazon- not because it's some amazing business model but because it is simple and it works. It fits my busy life style, it works well with my chaos and honestly I think it's really cool my mop earns me triple figures every month. So if things feel slow or discouraging right now, just know it doesn’t mean this is a waste of time. It just means we’re in one of those seasons where we have to adapt.
