Update: Sorry about all the blurring in the 2nd half. It's against their policies to be showing analytics. TELL ME IN THE COMMENTS 👉have you considered trying out the Amazon Influencer Program??
The transparency in sharing your results is super helpful, especially for those of us considering the Amazon Influencer Program. I was hesitant at first, but after seeing your experience, I think it’s worth giving a shot. The beginner tips you added are golden!
I'm really happy to see your channel taking off and being able to maintain that growth for almost 2 years. You try new things and some might not work out as expected still gives insights for others. Being an entrepreneur comes with uncertainty in life path and outcome and no one knows where it takes you than a certain pay cheque with a job.
I was weighing whether to start Amazon Influencer Program until I watched your video and realized the geographical limitations and challenges. It's too much work. And hey, I'm a minimalist myself. I don't shop much and it's going to be hard to review many stuff on Amazon. You've saved me so much time. Thanks Dina!
Thanks Kenny! And glad to hear that this video helped you. Yeah, I didn't realize these challenges until I started actually working on it. I think the program could be really good for some people, but not minimalists who don't like to buy a lot of things 😂
Another thing about this, people that make more money most likely invest in ads. A simple uploading a video will not do it. If you really want it you have to invest in ads.
Yes I think it could work, but also you'd have to make a lot of videos haha. And I'm not sure about relying on Amazon for full-time income, I'd want to diversify my income in some way too.
@@LaosHouse for sure. If you have a few part time things and decided on this it would work. But it’s a job not just passive income. You’d need to film everything you’ve purchased in your home and then go to family and friends to film their products. Filming and editing isn’t bad. Once you get it down you can do about 10 minutes a video. But to make real money you’d need several hundred videos.
this is so interesting! I had no idea the influencer program was different from associates. It sounds like such a headache to switch between the Canadian and US Amazon websites.
Also in Canada 🇨🇦. When I decided to stopped contributing to consumerism on my main channel, I also stopped making money 😂. If people don’t buy from you, they buy elsewhere. However, I can’t imagine filming a huge amount of content to make just a bit commission. With the influencer program, even if the videos are simple and there’s a lot of competition. I’ve been an associate and haven’t made much, albeit you have to push products to make money either way. If there’s any time to try, this quarter of the year is when their sales are highest.
Yeah that's true if they don't buy from you, they buy elsewhere. But I still don't want to add to it haha. Wishing you the best on your content creation journey!
Thanks for sharing! As a Canadian, I tried this for about 6 months and decided it was not worth the effort at allll lol. The U.S. fashion and beauty girlies are KILLING it (I know this from when I used to work in influencer marketing in corporate) but the rest of us? Nah 😅
I've just hit 100 videos, which is a lot right? And I'm probably making around $50 a month. Some days it's 0. I don't think it's a great time investment, but if you have expensive items laying around the house it's more worth it over the cheaper items... and for me, being self employed, I just film a few videos here and there - but don't go into it expecting to earn $1,000s!
The items people buy are lower end. I buy computer components and other high end items so if affiliate, then 0.5-2% can add up. It depends on intent and people come here more for information than shopping purposes. The other is that there are cashback, airmiles and other sites so people may have looked at your items but clicked through these portals which pay up to 50% of this commission back to us. There is nothing wrong with your actual content in the influencer program but competing factors.
Yeah I think that reviewing high ticket items (like tech equipment) is a really good strategy, but I also think that making a ton of videos works too. I'd love to do less videos but more high ticket items, but unfortunately, I don't really use high ticket items THAT much and I don't want to buy them either.
@@DinaLu I get what you’re saying. I’ve benefited from reviewing higher ticket items of friends & family and giving them a cut (most won’t accept it). That way I don’t have to purchase them myself.

Okay I was like why am I looking at a blur I would just prefer looking at you on computer and just discussing it. But overall good video very detailed
@@AlainaMartinLe Yeah I'm so sorry about the major blurring!
@@DinaLu great content, I appreciate you!
Ah I was wondering why the blur, didn’t know they have this policy in place. Overall good video Dina.
Please

I'm glad this was helpful! Apologies about all the blurred out sections!

Thank you so much for following along for so long!🥰
Thank you for being truthful on income - it truly is not worth the time it takes
Thank you so much!
I really hope you will continue on your free time! I feel like you’re so well spoken and would see great results in the long run!
Thanks so much!! I might do it very occasionally hahaha

I think with today’s economy, we’re all minimalist like it or not
This is one of the few videos I really enjoyed watching! Super informative!!! TY
Awww 🥰 so happy to hear that!
this was very helpful! i really appreciate the section you added for Canadians.
Awesome, glad you enjoyed it!
Another thing about this, people that make more money most likely invest in ads. A simple uploading a video will not do it. If you really want it you have to invest in ads.
I can definitely see someone doing this full time and make a living off this. Just got to put in the work!
Yes I think it could work, but also you'd have to make a lot of videos haha. And I'm not sure about relying on Amazon for full-time income, I'd want to diversify my income in some way too.

Nice! I appreciate this update. I was curious as to how the influencer program stacked up against Amazon Associates. 🙏
Thanks Hudson!!! Yeah, I think the influencer program is easier for the average person to make money with Amazon compared to the associates program.
this is so interesting! I had no idea the influencer program was different from associates. It sounds like such a headache to switch between the Canadian and US Amazon websites.
Oh yes totally! Thanks for watching!!

Oh wow nice!! How many videos did you make? Yeah, it's just a little bit more complicated in Canada and I think there are less products in general.
Great info!
I've just hit 100 videos, which is a lot right? And I'm probably making around $50 a month. Some days it's 0.

I was thinking, is it not better to od videos to good selling products that don't have review videos at all?
Do you know if the review video can be in another language or only in english?
thank you for honest review i am doing it its really not worth it here Amazon is cheap to pay out
btw, i am impressed with how you keep everthing in google sheets...
Hahaha thanks
Thank you so much❤
I like your spreadsheet!
Hehe thanks!
Great video!
Thank you so much!
I am from holland. And I would like to do it here. Do I have to make the video in dutch or in English?

How does the taxes from the Amazon influencer program work.
What do you mean? For your sole proprietorship/LLC/corporation?
Already 😮
I thought they said at least 70 videos
I was told that it's the high ticket items that make the big bucks for a person, not the amount of videos.

I have a little over 100 videos and it's about $10 a day
Wow that's great!! How do you feel about it?
Wow…the commission is sad
