A Thorough Guide to Amazon Prosperity

I'll provide you some tools, tips and techniques that would have been helpful to me when I first started, and some ​tactics to help you get starting! Get moving on that objective! There is a ton of financial possibilities!

WHAT SETS AMAZON ASSOCIATE PROGRAM ​APART FROM AMAZON INFLUENCER?

AMAZON ASSOCIATE

Anyone with a social media presence can join the Amazon Associates Program, regardless of their followers or online impact. When ​people click on your affiliate link and make a purchase, you earn a commission. The application process is usually straightforward. ​However, consider aiming for the Amazon Influencer program instead. This way, you can access various commission options!


Amazon Associate is the real deal! You not only earn money from affiliate links on social media but also from people shopping on ​Amazon without using your links. Create a customized storefront on the Amazon website for more commission opportunities based ​on your discoveries.

AMAZON INFLUENCER

(You don’t need to be an influencer to do this)

No need to be a big influencer for this! This program is the real deal. Aim for it! Earn money not just from the links you share on ​social media, but also from people who shop on Amazon without using your links. Set up a storefront on the Amazon website, ​personalized with your discoveries, where customers can shop. It’s all about boosting your earnings!

OVERCOMING THE CHALLENGE

Have the desire to earn extra income? Find yourself with free time ​while the kids are at school? Craving something for yourself or ​contemplating leaving the corporate world?


Despite the hesitation to share Amazon finds or delve into the world ​of influencing due to doubts about your following, remember that ​many of us felt the same way. We all started from zero.


Shift your mindset to “I want this, and I can do it.” Embrace the mantra ​of being unbothered in this stage of life. You’ve taken the crucial first ​step, and now you’re on the path to game-changing success.


Believe me, working for yourself, earning that side income for your ​dream Cruise , girls’ nights, Target hauls, bills to payoff, or even ​covering grocery bills , this is the simplest way to make money on ​your own terms. Embrace the journey and watch as you transform ​your life.

You're ready, I know it.

More earnings are on the horizon! I KNOW YOU’RE READY.

Take a look around your home – all those Amazon products, even ​the tin foil you use can be shared. Now, I get it, you might not want ​to post about tin foil on social media, but the point is, once you’re ​part of the Amazon Influencer Program, you can make money ​directly on Amazon through onsite commission. People discover ​and shop from your pictures and videos directly on Amazon. So, you ​can share your Amazon finds on social media using affiliate links ​(similar to the ones I use in my stories) AND on Amazon itself.

Once you’re in, create your storefront. I’ll help you through it – super ​easy, and you can do it right from your phone using your Amazon ​App! This is where all your are linked, aim to share pictures and ​videos showcasing your products this way they are visible.

PRIOR TO APPLYING
Minimalistic Border Design Element

Post on Instagram, Facebook, or TikTok at least once a week or two before you apply.

You're already scrolling, so make it a goal to post. Also, start thinking about what you ​want to share most once you're approved. Is it clothing? What do you find at home? ​Kids? High-end for less money? Think about the accounts you like to follow and try to ​picture what your niche could be.


At this point, I wouldn't recommend making a new Instagram or TikTok account unless ​you have a clear idea of what you want to do with it (new Instagram name, etc.). When ​you start over with a new social media account, it will take longer to get accepted ​because your old account already has followers. You will have a social media account ​that is only for what you want to post and share with your followers, which is a PRO if ​you have already chosen a niche. Don't make a new social media account if you don't ​mind changing things up on the one you already have, like I did with PETITEMIAMIGIRL.


But I go over how to make a different account if you want to! It will just take a little ​longer to start that relationship, and you need to get that accepted first.


Person Using a Smartphone
SOCIAL MEDIA PROFILE

Make sure that:

The public can see your Instagram account. If you want to change to a ​Professional Creator account, go to your settings and do that!


As Amazon would say:

If you are Amazon or anyone else, take a look at your social media ​account. Does your bio match the posts you make? People will read your ​bio and either move on in two seconds or be interested in what you have ​to say.


Does the content that you're posting make sense? Keep up with it. Until ​you get accepted, treat your social media account like a business. If it ​helps you stay on track, think of a niche. You need to prove to Amazon ​that you are a good fit for the part. Don't post anything at the chance;

plan what you post. Again, remember that once you're accepted, you're ​accepted. You can post the same way you always have if you want to.

Posting approach is covered extensively in ​the Guide, but here it is..

I delve deeper into this in the Guide, but here’s a simple posting strategy:


• Use a set of hashtags (check later in the guide for a website to see if any are ​banned).

• After posting, immediately comment on your post with those hashtags (keep ​them saved in the Notes app for easy reference).

• Follow up with emojis or dots to kickstart engagement.

• Engage with other accounts’ posts for the next 5 minutes—be social!

• Always reply to comments on your posts.


Additionally, after posting, click the three dots at the top right of your post, then ​select Hide Likes. It might take a bit to roll out on your account, but it’s helpful ​to hide the number of likes. Since people aren’t liking posts as much, it gives ​your posts a better look when the likes are hidden.

ESTABLISHING A FRESH SOCIAL ​MEDIA PROFILE

If you’re making a fresh Instagram account just for sharing Amazon stuff and ​more, start thinking of a name. It could be your name or something creative, ​but make sure it’s easy for people to remember!


Steps in creating your account:


1. Log in to Instagram and click “add a new account.”

2. Check available account names here and also on other platforms like Gmail. ​Keep your account name consistent across all platforms, including email!


Bonus Tip: Reuse your content! Once you have videos, share them on other ​platforms like TikTok. It’s a quick way to expand your reach and make money ​from multiple sources. I did it and gained a larger following on TikTok than ​Instagram. No need to nurture a new audience, just post!

Two Star Simple Shape Element


Additionally… Once you’re in the Amazon ​Influencer Program, you can choose how to ​share with your social media followers. ​Whether you want to share occasionally or ​fully dive in like I do, it’s entirely your call. ​I’m here to help you start earning that extra ​money from Amazon, whether you decide ​to share on social media or not!


GETTING STARTED

To get approved for the Influencer Program, you need to show Amazon that your ​audience is engaged – YOU DO NOT need thousands of followers!

If you haven’t posted on your social media lately, start ​now. Share anything you like, be it about your family, ​home, or your interests. Amazon is interested in seeing ​engaging comments on your posts. Always respond to ​comments, showing that your current followers interact ​with your posts. Also, engage with other accounts you ​follow by commenting. Be social! Ensure you do this ​before applying to the program, as you only have a couple ​of chances for acceptance, and the process can take a ​while. So, let’s make sure your account looks good before ​applying!

IMPORTANT POINTS TO REMEMBER

Understanding why some get approved and others don’t for the Influencer Program ​isn’t clear in fact, it can be mysterious. If you face rejection,

don’t get discouraged – it happens!


You will have more opportunities to apply again. So, focus on your Social Media ​Page and stay consistent. Many successful accounts initially faced denials, keep ​going and stay positive.


If you’re denied, the approval process might take longer later on. Use this time to ​enhance your social media account and make it stand out!

Avoid tactics like “Follow for Follow” on Instagram or paying for followers.

Large-scale giveaways involving multiple accounts can harm your reach.

Small, meaningful giveaways, like an Amazon gift card, are okay.

Aim for a genuine following rather than a large one that doesn’t engage with your ​content. Quality followers are more valuable than quantity.









HOW TO APPLY

Once you submit your application, you’ll have to wait for Amazon’s ​approval. They’ll let you know their decision through email. Mine took a ​couple of days to be accepted, but it can vary, so be ready for it to ​take days or weeks.

I like using the Amazon App vs Desktop ​but up to you! Both are easy to use, but ​sharing links is easier to use under the ​Amazon App on my phone because ​then I’m sharing to Instagram (IG) which ​is also on my phone! Just flows easier & ​saves time.

HOW TO MAKE YOUR

STOREFRONT

Quick tip and trick information banner with bulb icon

To make it easy for shoppers to find what they want, you should set up your Storefront.

Let's make your profile!


  • Write a short bio about yourself.
  • When you link your Instagram account, for example, people will be able to click that button and be taken ​to your page.
  • You can put a header at the top of the page. You can do this in Canva! I talk more about this, but I really ​recommend this app!

quick tips

I created a custom design 1275 x 284px that I then uploaded to that banner spot.

It’s great to include your social account name, but you don’t have to

& not necessary to start.

Use the same profile picture you are using for your social media account.

This is your branding so people recognize you here and everywhere!

STOREFRONT

IDEA LISTS

Like a Pinterest board, start making lists of ideas. You name folders "Fall ​Tops," "Holiday Decor," "Gift Ideas," and so on. Then you start saving ​things you love that you think other people will want to buy to those ​folders. This makes shopping simple! Make sure that each folder in your ​Idea List has a simple name that makes it clear to your shoppers what ​they will find inside that folder. For instance, the shoes folder shouldn't ​have any kid's toys in it.

This also makes it simple to quickly find something you want ​to share.

At first, I tried to think of five groups for my Idea List. You can ​always add more! You know you need to save something on ​Amazon when you see it. So you can look back on them later ​and so your shoppers can see them too.

This is where Idea Lists come in handy.

You pick out something you ​like.


After scrolling down, you ​should see List near the "Add ​to Cart" button. Press List. ​Every one of your "Idea Lists" ​can be seen. To buy the item, ​click on the Idea List that it fits ​best. Go back and make one if ​there isn't already one! This ​one I saved under Outerwear. ​This item will show up when a ​customer clicks on Outerwear ​in your Storefront. You will also ​always know where this item is ​saved in case you need to ​share the link to it!

A CURATION OF THE STOREFRONT

Blue retro computer browser window frame element

When you have lots of folders that can be ​grouped together under a single theme, this ​is useful. Alternately, you want the things on ​your page to be displayed first. A Curation ​folder was created for the purpose of ​sharing Daily Deals, which I do. The Gift Ideas ​Idea List folder and the Kids Gifts Idea List ​folder are both contained within my Favorite ​Gift Ideas Curations folder. That way, you will ​be able to integrate folders into a single ​location where customers can go!

Show how you use the product in your ​film. Show yourself using the product ​and talk about how it has helped you, ​what problem it has solved, or why you ​use it every day. Don't just hold it up ​and talk about it. Make sure you can ​buy these three things on Amazon, ​even if you didn't buy them there in ​the first place. You can review it as ​long as you can buy it.

WHERE TO APPLY

Remember that people are turned ​down and accepted all the time. If ​your videos are turned down, try ​again! We don't always understand ​why one video doesn't get accepted ​while the other two do!

This is where you can control your videos if you like to use a ​desktop. I like this screen because it makes it easy to see how ​each video is doing. You can see how many views, and so on! ​This is where I think you should post your videos to get them ​approved.


Your house is full of things you bought on Amazon.

This is where I began. My first three videos were made with ​things from my own home! Also, start taking pictures of these. ​The more you add, the better!

Videos Approved section

ONCE APPROVED, UNLEASH YOUR VIDEOS!

After getting the green light for your initial 3 videos, feel free to upload as many ​as you want! Get creative and record around 30 seconds for each item.

Here’s the easy guide: Record your video, open your Amazon App, go to Your ​Storefront, click Create Content, choose Post (video and photo),

and follow the prompts!

While each video still needs Amazon’s approval, it’s a quick process, usually ​within hours. To be safe, include a still image of your look. If you forget to snap a ​pic, grab a good screenshot from your video. Upload that picture to your ​Storefront the same way you did with the video. This way, you’ll always have a ​link ready to share when needed. When sharing on Instagram, I prefer linking to ​the pictures I add on Amazon (my affiliate link) as they’re easier to shop than ​videos. Save the videos for product pages and the inspire page on Amazon.

captivating video reviews

Infuse creativity into these clips! Aim to grab people’s attention. ​You can include text at the beginning for added allure!


To maximize your earnings, opt for reviewing higher-priced items ​(the more expensive ones) and items with lower return rates. If a ​product gets returned, whether it was purchased from your video ​or a picture, you miss out on that commission. That’s why I would ​recommend focusing on beauty items, such as cosmetics and ​skincare. Household essentials like air fryers, vacuums, coffee ​makers, grocery items, pet supplies, decorations, and so more.

Your phone is the only tool required!

Opt for a well-illuminated area. If that’s not available, ​consider investing in a ring light – it’ll be a valuable ​addition! I consistently capture photos and videos in a ​specific area of my home, choosing hours with optimal ​lighting. However, remember this is your account and ​space, so personalize it to your liking!

Grab a tripod capable of holding your phone.

I adore this one for its compact design – the best in my ​collection, and I’ve tried many. Found it on Amazon!

Pink Shiny Sticky Tape Texture

Every Monday, I focus on organizing content creation. I set up my tripod in ​a well-lit spot at home and use my phone to record videos. Before filming, I ​ensure the camera lens is clean for clear pictures and videos.


I start by putting on my first outfit for a concise review video, keeping it ​around 30-35 seconds for a broad appeal on platforms like Amazon.

Next, I film an Instagram video, adding my personal touch and mentioning ​specific details like finding an alternative,


I do not use the word “Dupe.”


Some days, I opt for a simple reel for a quick try-on. After that, I capture ​myself moving around in silence to create content for my Reels.


Finally, I snap a picture of myself in the outfit.

CONTENT CREATION

It might seem like a lot, but I turn it into a game, aiming to finish each item in ​less than 3 minutes. Once you get the hang of it, it goes by fast.


Another tip is to maximize your reviews. Review the pants, then the top, and ​even the socks—whether it’s home finds or anything else! Make sure to ​review each item separately. One 1 item per review.


Here are some additional tips:

After making an Amazon review, I add the video to a picture album in my ​Photos app, labeling it “Amazon Review” along with the date. This way, I can ​easily locate these videos and manage them. I follow the same practice for ​my Instagram try-on videos. Additionally, I organize all the content I create in ​albums for each month.

Additional Advice:

Instead of switching my camera to picture ​mode and setting a timer when taking a selfie, ​I find it quicker to record a video and then ​capture a still image from it. Here's how: ​record a video, stand still, and post it. Later, ​go to the video in your Photos app, play it, and ​pause. Drag the slider at the bottom to ​capture a good frame for your photo on the ​next slide. Saves time!

When I find awesome clothes or gadgets on ​Amazon from brands I don't collaborate with, I order ​them with the plan to return. Even if I really like ​them, I usually intend to return, unless I absolutely ​love them. It's like a try-on session - I try them on, ​record a video, and then send them back. My focus ​is on making money, not spending it! A true fact is ​that many influencers do this . The UPS folks or in ​my case Whole Foods don't mind at all when I ​return a bunch of items.

Simple Content Creation Tips

After a break, I wait until later that night or the next day to tackle tasks.

First, I create a Reel for each outfit I recorded. I do try ons for each ​item . This way I have for Instagram reels , stories and my Amazon ​Review . I try to do them one after the other to make editing easier. By ​doing this, you'll have a bunch of content ready for Instagram! If you ​filmed 7 different looks, that's 7 days of Reels saved for Instagram and ​you can upload to your drafts . I always save on my phone as well. ​Don't worry about captions now; you can add them later. Take it step ​by step, and once you have a good system, you'll have plenty of ​content loaded and ready to go!

At a separate time, I upload all my ​pictures to Amazon. It's important to tag ​all the products, not just one. When ​people check out your picture or video, ​they can see multiple products, and they ​might love more than one! This means ​more money for you!🙌

Lastly, find another time, like when watching TV or walking on the Treadmill. This is when you ​should upload your videos to Amazon, just like you upload photos. Remember to tag all the ​products and leave a strong review. Keep in mind, it might take up to 24 hours for the review ​to be approved and posted .

You will receive an email confirmation of approval.


After finishing all these steps, here's what you can do:


Share your Reel on Instagram. I always leave a link in my post . Or if people ask for the link in ​the comments, you can easily go to your Amazon Storefront, find your photo link, and share it. ​Your IG Stories review video is also ready to go and easy to locate in your

Photo album ( make sure to leave a tap to shop link ).

CapCut and Splice: They are FREE and an incredible video editing tool. Also ​a great place to store your videos just in case, they just live there once ​created!


Tezza: Another Free App. I use this to edit all my pictures!


Canva: Also FREE and one of the best programs I use daily. You can create ​picture collages here! I created this entire Guide in Canva! It is easy to use ​and you can subscribe to Canva Pro to access more features.


Black Arrow: The secret sauce is when you add an image to a new project. ​Click edit image, then BG Remover. This removes the background of the ​image giving it this look!

THOSE 3 VIDEOS

Recall those three videos you posted? Utilize them to your advantage! ​THIS IS THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE PROGRAM! Earn commissions right on the ​spot!


Seriously, wander through your home and create videos with genuine ​reviews. Simply discuss the product, showcase it, explain why you ​appreciate it, and so on.


It’s a fantastic way to make extra cash while just being at home, ​reviewing items you already have! It’s that simple!


You do not have to overwhelm yourself by sharing every video on social ​media. Gradually introduce your Amazon finds, this will enhance the ​frequency of views your discoveries get. I started slowly by sharing my “ ​Amazon Weekly Finds” and shared 3 items a week. Now, every chance I ​get, I share!


SOCIAL MEDIA SHARING
Minimalistic Border Design Element

Time to showcase your Amazon discoveries! Let’s focus on Instagram here.


Consider setting posting goals to keep yourself on track. Where would you like to be in a month. I ​suggest getting one of those good old fashion daily to do lists and jot down the task you would like ​to accomplish daily.


Ensure to include your Amazon Storefront link in your social media bios. This allows people to ​shop directly there. Instagram allows you the capability to share more than one link.


Try to keep it simple in your bio. However, if you have additional links, like I do. You may use Stan ​Store ( this is what I use,) or LinkTree. When they click it, they’ll be directed to all your links, ​including LTK, Tik Tok, Pinterest, or any other affiliate links you’d like to share.

INSTAGRAM STORIES
Minimalistic Border Design Element

Consider increasing your presence on Instagram Stories if you haven’t already. Aim to share 3 to 5 ​stories daily, and gradually raise it. Maybe up to 8 stories, sprinkle in some Amazon finds. Remember, ​most of us enjoy watching stories from other people. If I don’t get on one day to say hello or share ​items - I do receive messages asking me if I am ok.


Mind the Instagram Algorithm; avoid overwhelming your stories with the Tap to shop or having a link on ​every slide. I admit I’ve done this occasionally, and honestly - I hate it. It makes me appear like the only ​reason I am on social media is to sell products . Which is so NOT true. It also tends to decrease story ​views. Mix in your day-to-day life, and surprise your audience with exciting Amazon discoveries or Sale ​Alerts.


For an extra boost, incorporate Polls. They enhance engagement and let your followers know what to ​expect. Ask questions like, “How often do you shop on Amazon?” or “What do you shop for on ​Amazon”? This will help you with your content as well. I think about what my stories will be the night ​before.

Don’t get disappointed if you have no clue what to talk about, it happens. I still have some clueless ​days. Sometimes it hits me in the morning or sometimes I really have nothing to share, but I get on and ​say Hello , How you doin? That always makes a difference, because I care.

How to Share Your Story?

When you open your Instagram screen, you will see your ​profile picture on the top left side.

Within that photo you will see the + symbol on the bottom ​right.

Press that and it will take you directly to the story screen.

Honesty, you can go to any screen you want reel, story, post, ​or live.


Or.....

To make a speedy post, head to the homepage, press and ​hold your finger on the left side of the screen. Swipe to the ​right, and you'll see your posting choices. The story option ​should be what opens. If it's not there, simply swipe through ​until you find it.

STATIC POSTS

Observing my account, you’ll notice that I seldom if ever ​share just a 1 picture post. I use carousel posts ( at least ​3 picture swipe through) However, that doesn’t mean ​you shouldn’t do static posts. I personally lean towards ​Reels. Reels are currently in the spotlight for reaching ​new followers.


If you prefer pictures over videos (Reels), try creating ​carousels with more than one image – they tend to ​perform exceptionally well! For instance, if it’s a day out ​with the kids, share pictures of yourself in Amazon ​clothes finds. Alternatively, explore layout finds, similar ​to what I’ve demonstrated.


Tezza is an excellent picture editing app you can use!

A BIT OF INSIGHT ON CAPTIONS

This applies to both Reels and Static Posts.

The dynamics of this constantly change, and I’ll always keep you updated on this aspect. However, currently, ​the primary emphasis on Instagram revolves around KEYWORDS. So, when crafting your captions, delve into ​the details! Tell a story! Provide as much information as possible because the Algorithm appreciates it.


Before posting my reels, I post my hashtags and keywords really tiny on my reel itself. I place on the lower left ​corner but super tiny that no can really notice it (just the algorithm). I prefer preparing these in advance and ​saving them in my Notes folder. Ensure they align with your post, customize them for each post, but keep a ​collection of your favorite hashtags saved there!


Here’s an interesting tidbit: you can verify if your hashtags are not banned by Meta!


Check Metahashtags.com

Reels excel when the video addresses a problem, but showcasing clothes can be challenging. For Reels, ​incorporating Hooks or “Call to Action” keywords is essential, and complementing it with a compelling caption, ​such as “Comment ___ and I will message you!” ensures engagement.

instagram posting
reels

A Reel, essentially an Instagram video, stands out as the platform’s top-performing content, ​fostering organic growth on Instagram and TikTok. Viewers are drawn to engaging video content.


Essentials: I shoot my videos using my phone’s camera, steering away from filming directly on ​Instagram. Nowadays, if I desire a filter, I turn to Tezza for editing the video’s appearance. However, ​for actual video editing, I prefer CapCut and Splice. Your preference matters. My key advice: if you ​opt to film in Instagram, always save the video immediately on your phone after creating it, even ​before posting it to the platform!


Batch Content: A crucial time-saving tip!

Batching content involves creating more than one video at a time. For instance, I might film five ​different Amazon outfits instead of just one. This translates to having content for five days instead ​of just one. I dedicate my Thursdays for video creation.




Paper

When filming an outfit, consider doing one ​video reviewing the clothes. When sharing it ​on Amazon, utilize the option to tag multiple ​products. For example, if both the pants and ​top are from Amazon, consolidate them into ​a single review video. Then, create a ​separate video showcasing the outfit as ​you’d like it to appear on Instagram. This ​could be an actual review or a creative ​presentation. Once uploaded to CapCut or ​Instagram, you can edit and add fun ​elements to enhance the content.

engagement

Young friends commenting on social media posts with smatphone

I’ve emphasized this repeatedly, but it’s crucial: engage after ​you’ve shared a post. Comment on previous posts, engage with ​your friends’ content, and respond to comments on your recent ​post. How many times did I mention “post”? Nevertheless, ​dedicate at least 5 minutes to these interactions after posting to ​show the Algorithm your social activity.


Overnight success might happen for some, but for most, it’s a ​gradual process. The performance of your stories, pictures, and ​reels can vary from one day to the next. It’s an unpredictable ​challenge, but our aim is to attract more attention to your ​account, enabling you to share your links and earn that coveted ​off-site commission!


Consistency is key – stay committed!

YOU VE UNLOCKED OPPORTUNITIES

As you showcase your content on your Amazon Storefront and optionally on your Instagram ​account, Amazon brands will start reaching out.

This happened within a couple weeks of my joining.


Ensure your email aligns with your IG page and is associated with your Instagram account. I ​have my Email in my bio section, so clicking there reveals the email for brands to contact me.


When brands reach out, they often invite you to their Amazon brand site to choose clothes ​sent to you for FREE! This opens the door to sharing review videos under your Storefront, ​yielding earnings, and promoting on social media with your affiliate link for additional income. ​It’s a double win – receiving both on-site and off-site commission! Eventually, you may be ​able to negotiate a payment along with the free clothing . I now receive free clothing as well as ​a payment for my Reel.


Moreover, this paves the way to apply for the LTK (Like to Know It, or RewardStyle) platform!
