How to Get Started with the Amazon Influencers Program
Welcome to the world of Amazon influencing! If you're passionate about sharing your favorite products and earning commissions, the Amazon Influencers Program is perfect for you. Here's a quick guide to get you started.
Before you get started please note that the Amazon Influencers program is not the easiest at first to join. You will need to get approved on two steps Amazon created to ensure quality Influencer reviews come into their program.
Amazon Storefront - As an approved Amazon Influencer, you’ll receive your own storefront where you can showcase all your product review videos. You can check out my storefront [here] for an idea of how the program works and to see if it’s something you’re interested in. This platform not only helps you share your recommendations but also allows you to earn commissions. To get started, follow the steps below.
Step 1 Approval: Amazon Verifies Your Social Channel
Choose any of your social platforms for this step, and the best part is you can re-apply as many times as needed. Don't be discouraged if you get a rejection notice right away—just keep trying! Amazon focuses on engagement rather than follower count, so keep that in mind. While the exact approval process is a bit of a mystery, persistence and engagement with your audience are key to getting approved.
1. Join the Program
First, head to the Amazon Influencers Program page. Sign in with your Amazon account and complete the application. You'll need to provide links to your social media profiles for approval. This is the first step people have the hardest time with but don't over think it. Start using your TikTok or Instagram to get engagement and you can keep applying. Remember this step is all about how much engagement you have not about followers. Here is a tip, for instagram use a lot of interactive stories and post comments or reply to comments on trending influencers reels.
2. Create Your Storefront
Once approved, for step 1 you'll get your own Amazon storefront. Customize it to reflect your personal brand. Add your favorite products, and create lists that make shopping easy for your followers. You can do all this while waiting for Step 2 approval.
Step 2 Approval: 3 Amazon Review Videos Must Get Approved

Congratulations on getting approved for Step 1! Now, it’s time for Step 2. Yes, you will see another confetti celebration from Amazon once you have been accepted. But first, you'll need to create three Amazon review videos featuring products from Amazon. Keep these videos between 25-45 seconds, ensuring you have good lighting and high-quality visuals.
Remember, you only have three chances to get these videos approved, so make each one count! If you don't get approved, you'll need to start back at Step 1, so put your best foot forward and showcase those products effectively!
3. Promote Your Storefront
Now that you are approved the fun part begins. Start to create as many videos and Amazon will add your video for onsite commission! Make sure to read about Amazons TOS and rules so you are not rejected for violating rules.
4. Track Your Performance
Amazon provides insights into your performance, including clicks, sales, and earnings. Use this data to refine your strategy and optimize your content.
5. Stay Engaged
Consistency is key. Regularly update your storefront and keep your followers engaged with fresh content and product recommendations.
