I would think you just have 2 versions of your video. 1 for your Amazon Storefront that has all the extra stuff removed (like, subscribe, extra fluff) and 1 that includes all of the clips where you are trying to build community.
As long it follows all of Amazon’s rules - no mention of pricing, no CTA, no asking for likes, subscribes, etc. But Amazon encourages you to upload your content from social and doesn’t mind as long as the content is originally yours.
Thank you for making this video. I’ve been accepted into the program for a while now, but my videos are not getting approved. I learned some things on this video that I’m going to apply today. I’ll be back to let you know how things go! 🤞🏽
the truth about Amazon influencer program is it takes a thousand or more videos to make $1k/month. Even if you have that many videos, every day that goes by each video will earn less. That's why this lady is pushing her course so aggressively. More money selling the course.
@@sidehustlespyNot true. I'm well over $1K and don't even have a thousand videos posted. I did $700 my first month with less than 100 vids. It's more about product selection than the number of videos.
Good question… It’s possible to earn good money just because of the videos you have on Amazon. However, it’s always smart to not have all of your eggs in one basket. So diversifying your platforms and ultimately building your personal brand in strategic ways and in strategic places - Would be a more holistic online business strategy.
Big no no, you’re right on about that. However, you don’t HAVE to the buy the item from Amazon. Whether you bought it at Walmart or found it at a garage sale, the important thing is that the product is exactly what’s for sale on Amazon.
Be strategic about your product selection and you'll earn back what you invested, plus more. When I'm buying specifically to create a shoppable video, I use chrome extensions that help me filter and find the best choice. After I shoot the vid, I'll list the product on FB marketplace for half price and it's gone within 48 hours. Then, rinse and repeat. I usually earn back enough within two weeks to cover my expense.
I'm still curious why your other Influencer interview video is not searchable/or removed. She also went into details about the program, but provided her links. Was there a problem with her?
You’ll want to upload the videos to your storefront. Steer clear of leaving those customer reviews with the star ratings if you’re going to participate in the influencer program, though. It’s one or the other with Amazon.
So it sounds like it’s a video version of a written review for products you bought from Amazon? I want to do a storefront anyway, so the product reviews I do for my RUclips set up has a direct link to it. Teachers are my niche, and we don’t have time to go hunt for stuff, for sure. Doing this before Christmas shopping starts sounds like the best plan!
@@kathleenkobel Good to know! thank you. I'll definitely have to come back to this video when I can take notes. It won't happen before Thursday, but I'm going to put a reminder in my phone.
As an educator who teaches entirely from home, because I teach at a historic TCU that is directly under the Dept of the Interior so every class has to be 2 hours on Zoom because eyes on a student is the only attendance recognized in federal Indian Education law, I have a unique perspective on what works for a home educator workstation. I appreciate this video because most of my electronics come from Amazon, and I plan to do product reviews on what I use. I’ve been teaching college courses this way for 4 years now, and I’ve got a very good perspective on what works and what doesn’t. It’s going to boost my credibility for what I’m talking about, and since you link to one of your social media accounts for this program featured in this video, you can send Amazon people buying your connected reviewed items to your RUclips to see how it helps you do what you do. I don’t see a problem with this. It looks more like a free landing page loop, in the way that it works.
Appreciate the comment. Maybe you didn’t watch this video and/or part one? I share that video creators making content for RUclips should considering jumping on this as well. And the ultimate goal is to create synergistic momentum from Amazon income, RUclips revenue, brand deals, etc. And intelligently repurpose your video content. Kathleen talks about that in part one. She is also doing it with her two youtube channels. The intuitive move is to align all of your business and branding strategy together. 👊🏻💯
For people who are already doing product reviews on RUclips, it makes so much sense to also upload those videos to Amazon and make additional money on the same content.
I had applied to Amazon the way it was told in the last video and I got rejected saying I don't meet their base criteria.. I'm so looking for avenues to earn for complete financial independence and security.. I didn't apply for associate cause I wasn't really sure what it was..

@@ThinkMediaPodcast Got accepted! Thank you for the tips, I’m excited to see where this goes
We just got approved for the influencer program yesterday. Thanks for the video
That is awesome!
That’s fantastic! Nice work!
I’m an Amazon Associate Partner. I’m anxious to learn how the Amazon Affiliate Program works.
It’s super easy
Same
Here's a sneak preview... make 1000 videos and maybe earn a few hundred a month
Question:
- Would I be able to upload the same video to Amazon that I upload to my other socials?
You could but no calls to action like subscribe like etc

Glad this was valuable - getting things dialed now will be super strategic as we go into fourth-quarter of 2024. 🔥💯
So glad to hear that!
This was so helpful!! And very timely for me as I have only just been thinking about this and just got approved haha. Thank you!
You're so welcome!
Wonderful news! Now the fun begins! 🎉
Yeah... September earnings are horrible lol
aug was sooo bad for me
@The_Russ Aug Sept and if it follows last year October are almost worthless, this month is lower so far then when I first started Amazon aff in 2021

Thanks for this very helpful ❤
But if you are just uploading to Amazon then what's the point of having a following outside? Sounds like associates is less complicated.
You can influence your audience to purchase the products you review
Good question…
It’s possible to earn good money just because of the videos you have on Amazon.
However, it’s always smart to not have all of your eggs in one basket.

This is part two. In part one Kathleen talks more about this and her two RUclips channels.
Is buying, reviewing and then returning a product a no, no with Amazon? Do you have to keep the items you review?
Keep the questions coming - will have Kathleen back on to cover these 🙏🏻💯
Big no no, you’re right on about that. However, you don’t HAVE to the buy the item from Amazon. Whether you bought it at Walmart or found it at a garage sale, the important thing is that the product is exactly what’s for sale on Amazon.

Thank you for the knowledge always
You’re welcome
Are these three videos just for Amazon to see? How long should that video be ?
These videos are for Amazon to review and approve but then for all to see. They are testing to make sure you are making good, compliant content.
I am already an influencer / associate and have a storefront. Do i still need to go through the approval process to upload videos?
Where do you upload the videos to? To the rating part of the particular product (and leave a star rating?) or to your Amazon Storefront?
You’ll want to upload the videos to your storefront. Steer clear of leaving those customer reviews with the star ratings if you’re going to participate in the influencer program, though. It’s one or the other with Amazon.
Good to be here

Smart to get ahead of the holiday shopping for sure 🔥💯
Yes, exactly! Except these you can earn from, too!
@@kathleenkobel Good to know! thank you. I'll definitely have to come back to this video when I can take notes. It won't happen before Thursday, but I'm going to put a reminder in my phone.
can you post about food?
Sure can! The commission usually isn’t huge but I earn on most of my videos of food.
Is it better to record in 9x16 or 16x9?
Kathleen likes 16x9 for Amazon and also using the video on RUclips.
But both formats can be effective. 💯
@@ThinkMediaPodcast thanks!
@@ThinkMediaPodcast exactly!
Can you show in the reviews for example pets while applying products on them?
Yes, pets are allowed to be in the videos. Just steer clear of any medical advice about the product.
@@ReviewsAndHowTos thank you!
Amazing value r
🎉
Nice!
🙏🏻💯
Hey think media podcast 😁👋
Hello! Thanks for being here :)
Is it worldwide
It is available in many countries, yes!
Hoping you vetted this one as opposed to the last AI guru.
Very surprised you are pushing this content. Pushing people away from RUclips seems counterintuitive to your audience and business goals.

it's all about selling the fantasy to others without any regard of how it might effect people in real life
I had applied to Amazon the way it was told in the last video and I got rejected saying I don't meet their base criteria.. I'm so looking for avenues to earn for complete financial independence and security.. I didn't apply for associate cause I wasn't really sure what it was..
