Amazon Affiliate vs Amazon Influencer Program - PROs & CONs For Content Creators

This is a very helpful video. I will apply for the Influencer program first, and then apply for the Associates program. The only thing I'm concerned with is when affiliate links don't work anymore. Or the product is no longer available (with Affiliate program). If you have links in numerous videos, I would think it would be difficult to try to go back into all your videos to check on the affiliate links. What is your advice on that?

Good Video, Thanks

Requirement - misspelt - TWICE - go figure ... videos are OK - better than U of Amazon that's for sure!

This was very helpful, It answered all my questions and doubts. Thank you so much for that

I’m in the influencer program and I’m curious about how people make $ with video reviews on Amazon. Is that part of the influencer program? I’m really not very good at figuring this out tbh

Thank you soooo much for this no nonsense informational video! I have seen so many videos on this subject, trying to learn all I can and most of what I've seen are liars. These people tell you to get a website and use this or that search platform so it benefits them for the referral. Thank you again for keeping it real. I plan to apply for the Influencer simply bc I don't have a website rn. I don't want to go through the expense til I've made some money as an Influencer to justify my investment.

Thank you 👍 So the influencer program doesn’t have one link (geo tracking)? Is this information still current? Because I really need one link, so the associate program is better for me?

say what? slow down!

So can i pay someone to make the first 3 sales without it being known that i did? Im assuming people do that.

I just want to clarify. If I become an affiliate that I am not allowed to share my affiliate links on my socials?

Thank you very helpful

Thank you. I signed up as Affiliate and kept getting denied for influencer, I was accepted once but didn't know what I was doing. I will keep Affiliate.

It has been weeks since I applied to join your FB group, still waiting....

I'm still confused 😥 where do you submit your video reviews for previously purchased products? Associates or Influencers? My associate account is telling me to make a $50 purchase - yet my regular customer account has multiple previous purchases, can you link them to review the purchases you already made? I'm lost.

This Video helped me SO MUCH. Thank you!! I was so confused at first and thought I had joined the wrong one. I just have one question: If I join the Amazon Influencer program, can I still send individual product links without linking to the store, or only the store links?

Hi Ana, this video was super helpful. Has any of this information changed since you posted? I started with the Influencer program... but now I'm starting a blog, and I seem to be pulling individual affiliate links for that and putting them in my blog posts (at least I thought I was doing that correctly until I watched this). Are influencers now able to share individual links? Or should I now apply for the affiliate program as well?

Hi am a beginner and i just started and i need help on how to post 3 products before they kick me out of the program

You mentioned the influencer account they give you a link for your storefront to share on email list for example can you go within your storefront and get a link to a specific product and share THAT link on your email list or in a PDF from my trial and error I believe yes but wanted to verify. Thanks!

I am confused on the Influencer program Storefront. Where do you create it? is it straight in the Amazon Central or does it get created outside like in godaddy or shopify?

I have a blog and a social media following - if I want to share links in both places and via email newsletters can I just get the influencer account and use my storefront link in both places?

Question, I currently just got approved for both associates and influencer. Now, here's my question, I deal with a lot of potential customers in person. These customers always ask me about certain products they can buy in regards to whatever they're working on. This requires me to do research and often times I find products on Amazon using my phone. It's give me an option to share the link but how do I get credit when sending the products through text message to a customer who wants them??

Really need some help deciding! Whilst affiliate is not exactly what I need (I have an influencer following and no website) the one link is great as my following is international. So I'd he happy to stick with it but I hear to review Amazon products by video and get paid for it you have to be an influencer. I thought of doing both but then all my affiliate traffic will go through that programme and I won't have anything coming via the influencer store and likely be kicked out. How can I have an International sales platform and still get paid for reviews. Please help!

This was so helpful! Thank you so much <3

Ah I don’t know high one to do. I set up the associates with the one link which is great as I will have international traffic, but I don’t really want to create a website / blog. Whereas if I set up the influencer program it would save me setting up a website but then I’d lose international traffic. Argh

So a friend of mine has an influencer page as well but he has just two store IDs. the omnaz one and a store front one like cptmike-20. However why does he not have a third one like I do for his affiliate account? I have store front id an omnaz and an affiliate one. I see almost everyone has three store ids:

Is it possible to do both? We have both a instagram and tiktok, where we link directly to affilliate products. We also have the influencer program, but just in our bio.
Is this the right way to do it? We are linking directly to products from instagram story

How do taxes work as a UK citizen when it comes to amazon USA, Canada, Australia, etc? Do you have to pay each countries tax. Or do you just pay the UK? Or do you get double taxation.

so quick question, in terms of being an affiliate and not an influencer, and the new image issue with Amazon products, are you saying that affiliates can use the sidestrip link for products and the image that appears using Lasso?

If I get approved for the influencer program am I automatically in the affiliate program or do I have to apply somewhere for that? I have to apply how do I do it?

My first 3 videos were rejected for onsite commission but I cannot find where they say the reason is for this rejections? Would you know where this is located? I hear people say it is next to the video but I don't see this. Thanks

I wonder does she respond? & is it better to set up things on a iPhone or a laptop?

Super helpful information!

I am going to be doing the affiliate. I think right now that will work out the best for me 😊

This is good info. to have and how I have been creating content for the past 8 months- not sure I would recommend it though based on commission rates...will post my annual earnings when that time comes but has been $100-300 a month with 350+ reviews.

Newbie here, thanks for the info!

Question!
Which one do you get commission on when you do reviews for products?

thank you for helpful information

This VIDEO ACTUALLY HELPED THANKS! It took 10 videos before I found something that actually answered my question lol

Hello! Ana, I have a question. I'm confused between the Amazon Influencer and Associate programs. Which one is better for generating more leads? If someone goes to the product page through my influencer storefront under these conditions, does the influencer program generate a cookie for 24 hours and he add to cart the product does cookie duration extand to 90 days or does only the associates program has cookie feature ?.

So didn’t Amazon just change this rule and now you can add an affiliate link to an email?

How do you disclose on Tiktok?

Hi...where is the link to join your FB group?

This was so helpful thank you!

If I have a storefront is it safe to say I have Amazon Influencer?

THANK YOU!

Ana, I need you. Im starting as an Affiliate but will be an Influencer. Help Me :)

Can you tell me if you can upload the product videos as an assiciate and still make the comission, or do youneed to have an influencer account? Im fine as just an associate as i link to specific products i use in YT videos but would like to earn commissions if people watch videos on the Amazon page.
