    I’ve been doing this since May and most of my videos have come from things I’ve already had plus sellers reaching out to me here and there to review their item for an extra fee. I definitely believe you, I get excited every morning to see what items shipped out and how much I made! It’s so exciting! Plus I can take a break from making new videos and still get paid anytime I want! I haven’t even done “product research” and all that lol 🎉

    I keep saying how inspiring your story is. I'd be delighted with the sort of results you've had.
    I have bought a few things for our home, but they've been ones we've genuinely used, and I'm glad to have the additional income.
    One thing to note is that outside of the US, it's a bit harder to find products - especially in the cosmetics or cleaning space - as they are often rebranded. And I'm not doing product research either, except for when I'm buying products specifically that we wanted for our home.

  • @1165mac
    @1165mac Год назад +2

    Great job, Mercedes! Your delivery is natural and honest. So, I've heard numerous times from Influencers, some of whom are claiming to make upwards of 15K over the past six months, not to bother reviewing anything under $50, even if you have it in your home. I assume you strongly disagree with this. I have over 500 Blu-ray and 4K discs. Would you suggest making a video for every one of these? The problem stopping me is getting my first three videos approved. I'm on my third attempt and can't for the life of me figure out what's wrong with any of the videos. I've had the videos reviewed by a private FB group and a few friends who are already earning money in the program. All I'm getting is conflicting information. Someone says not to do or say a particular thing and then the next day I see videos doing these exact things are getting approved! Worse, is that I see incoherent videos with bad lighting, choppy editing, and TOS violations approved and running in the carousel all the time! It's very frustrating and makes me believe that Amazon is running this program blind. Congrats on your amazing success!

    • @mercedesgomeznow
      @mercedesgomeznow  Год назад +2

      Thank you! Like I say in the videos, I believe it's quantity over quality. If you feel like you can get a lot of video reviews made with only products over $50 then so be it. If not, I would review everything including low priced items. Low priced items may not make you outrageous money but it will make you enough to motivate you to keep going. If you don't see any commissions coming in, you will be more likely to quit and not make video reviews. You know yourself better then anyone else so you will have to make a decision on how you want to do the program. I hope that helps!

    I’m sure it’s going to get to the point where someone thinks that I am stealing their product review ideas lol. However, I haven’t purchased anything outside of my norm to review. Though, I did purchase three things during prime day that I have been wanting/and would make for a good videos!

The funny thing is, the RANDOM things you own, that you wouldn't think would make you money.. are the best earners! LIKE RANDOM! A random part, that you'd think wouldn't be a good product to review... well turns out, everyone else thought that.. so your the only video! and 1000s of people need that one random part! It's wild. I bought a few things that were "best sellers" and had no videos... made like 50 cents. It's true that reviewing things you already own, i believe is the way to go! if you don't believe Mercedes.. idk what to tell ya at this point because every word she said, i was like omg - ME TOO! its 1000000 percent facts lol

    • @mercedesgomeznow
      @mercedesgomeznow  Год назад +1

      There could be a number of things going on. Since you have 3 attempts, I would say you should do another 3 reviews but this time try to make them as perfect as you can. If you still get declined after that, then it could be that your social media doesn't have enough engagement. It's weird but when you got accepted into make your 3 videos it's basically a robot approving you. Once you submit your 3 videos its actual humans doing the approval. So they go look at your social and if it's not what they want then they decline your 3 videos and say it "didn't meet quality standards." I know it's dumb but that's what a lot of people are experiencing.

  • @woodsoncircle

    I'll tell anyone who wants to scale but REINVEST money back into the program and use tools (extensions) & resources. Not all products are worth your time to review (.15-50 cent commissions). DATA/metrics don't lie if you want to play the long game with Amazon. Video carousel /placement DOES actually matter.
