Happy Monday everyone! I've been doing some thinking about the future of the Amazon Influencer Review Hub, and I'm making a few changes! First, the group is now $2/month or $20/year for new members. Why? Honestly, I am trying to improve the quality of the group and also I'm experimenting. 😂 We've had our share of spam and people joining for reasons that have very little to do with building an Amazon business. I'm curious whether a small financial commitment will help us build a more authentic, engaged community. And there's the good news for existing members though! If you joined for free, you're staying for free AND you now have access to the Getting Approved classroom, previously reserved for paying members! So if you've been putting off applying to the Amazon Influencer Program, you've officially run out of excuses. 😂 People are getting approved in as little as 5 days, so the strategy is solid! You can check that out here! So what's next for the community? Well, really that is up to you guys. My thoughts are putting more emphasis on consistency, accountability, and making the work we do work harder. There are a million ways to make money online. Amazon just happens to be one I'm particularly enthusiastic about! We'll always focus on Amazon Influencer, but I also want to start talking more about off-site opportunities, affiliate marketing, Trybe, UGC, Benable and repurposing our content to build additional income streams. Because as much as we love Amazon, putting all our eggs in one basket probably isn't the smartest long-term strategy. I'm also considering regular Q&As and live brainstorming, maybe even coworking sessions so we can learn from each other and actually put what we're learning into practice. Less chasing shiny objects. More showing up, making every hour count, and giving this business a fighting chance!

Well, here we are. NOVEMBER. 👀 When we started this community back in January, we set ourselves a pretty ambitious goal: 1,000 review videos and $5,000/month by November. Apparently, we were a little ambitious. But looking back over the last 10 months, there is still a LOT worth celebrating. First videos uploaded, hundreds of reviews added, first commissions earned, new strategies learned, members hitting 1k and 2k months, and some of you have been checking in here since JANUARY- which is super cool from my perspective. I think it's important to remember we're all in different seasons of life, with different amounts of time and energy to dedicate to this business. Our progress isn't going to look the same, and that's okay. I'll be the first to admit October was NOT my most productive month. I barely touched my storefront and pretty much disappeared from this community. But I still earned made over 2k. Those little worker bots kept working, even when I wasn't. 🤖💰 And no, I'm probably not going to hit my original $5K/month goal this November. But I have a pretty solid shot at hitting HALF of it. That's almost $2,000 MORE than I made last November, only adding around 300–350 reviews to my storefront this entire year. Would I be further ahead if I'd been more consistent? Probably! 😂 But am I further ahead than I was a year ago? ABSOLUTELY. That's kind of the point. Sometimes we're so busy looking at how far we still have to go that we forget to appreciate how far we've already come. I know Amazon has been Amazoning lately. Creator Connections has been frustrating, earnings have been unpredictable, and the Facebook groups aren't exactly overflowing with positivity. But there's still SO much opportunity here. Nate shared that he earned $24,000 in September and another $20,000 in October! Which is incredible, but don't let someone else's $20K month make your $200 month feel insignificant. An extra few hundred dollars a month can make a real difference for a family.
