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.

If anything, you’re in a better position than most because you’ve been learning how to do this the right way from the start.

Also- I want to be really clear about something.

I’m not discouraged. I actually feel good about where this is going. I think this is going to weed a lot of people out- providing a higher quality opportunity going forward for those of us that are focused on building long term income opportunities over making a quick buck. I have been looking at my stats from the last year and yea, I made some pretty good income from Halo sales but honestly a MAJORITY of my income is from products I actually have content on.

Also, this group isn’t going anywhere. If anything, we’re just going to adjust, get smarter, and keep building and growing.

I’m still here. I’m still all in on this. And I’m still focused on helping you guys make this work in a way that’s sustainable long-term.

So if you’re feeling frustrated right now-totally valid, but don't write this off just yet.

Zoom out. Adjust. Keep going.

A few things to focus on right now:→ Keep building your off-site traffic (YouTube especially)→ Also—don’t sleep on Pinterest (Pinterest for Influencers course is still on pre-launch sale for $67 and is absolute gold). You don’t need a following, and pins can bring in traffic (and commissions) for months with way less effort long-term→ Keep improving video quality and usefulness→ Stay consistent, even if it’s just 15–30 minutes a day.

That’s how we stay in the game while others drop off. We've got this.

Also-something exciting… I connected with Data Coach Claire, and she’s agreed to come into the group and do a session / beginner training for us 🙌 I’ll share more details soon, but I’m really excited about this.

I also still have some cool offsite collaboration stuff coming up for my premium members- don't think I have forgotten!

For now- take a breath.

It’s okay to step away this weekend, reset, and come back clear-headed.

We’ll know more around April 14th when the new commission structure is announced.

Until then- we adapt, not panic.

You’re not behind. You’re early in the real version of this.

Happy Good Friday & Easter weekend ❤️
