✨ There Are SO Many Ways to Make Money as an Amazon Influencer (Beyond Just Posting Videos!) ✨
One of the biggest misconceptions about the Amazon Influencer Program is that you only make money from shoppable video commissions. While that’s a huge piece of it, it’s actually just ONE of several income streams available to us. I want to break this down so you can see the full opportunity and start maximizing your earnings intentionally. Here are the main ways Amazon Influencers get paid: 💰 1. Onsite Commissions (Shoppable Video Earnings) This is what most of us start with. When you create a shoppable video and upload it to Amazon, it can appear directly on the product page. If a customer watches your video and purchases the product, you earn a commission. This income is powerful because: • Your videos can earn passively 24/7 • One video can generate income for years • The more videos you create, the more earning opportunities you have Think of each video as a tiny employee working for you around the clock. 🌐 2. Offsite Commissions (Your Personal Traffic = Your Power) Offsite commissions happen when YOU bring the customer to Amazon using your storefront link or affiliate links. Examples include: • YouTube product reviews • TikTok product demos • Instagram posts or reels • Facebook posts • Pinterest pins • Blog posts If someone clicks your link and buys, you earn a commission — even if they buy something else during that session. This is why creating a YouTube channel is so powerful. Your content can rank in search and bring in buyers every single day. Onsite = Amazon brings the customer to you Offsite = YOU bring the customer to Amazon Both matter. Both pay. 🤝 3. Seller Paid Video Opportunities (Direct Brand Payments) This is where things get really exciting. Many sellers will pay you to create videos for their products. This can include: • Free products • Flat cash payments ($10–$200+ per video depending on experience) • Or both product + payment You can find these opportunities through: • Amazon Creator Connections • Brand outreach • Influencer platforms (like Oink, Stack Influence, etc.)
