📱 Become an Amazon Influencer

If you enjoy recommending travel gear, useful gadgets, or everyday favourites, and already share on social, the Amazon Influencer Program can turn that into portable income.

You create a custom storefront, add products you love, and earn commission when people buy through your link. It’s one of the simplest ways to start earning from your content, without needing to sell or ship anything yourself.

Perfect if you’re already posting on Instagram, TikTok, Facebook or YouTube and want a low-effort way to monetise it.

🧠 What You’re Really Offering

You’re helping people save time, avoid buyer’s remorse, and get trusted recommendations. Not just product links, actual insight, context and confidence.

You’re offering:

• Personal curation that builds trust

• Real-life reviews people relate to

• Help navigating Amazon’s overwhelming product sea

• Useful content that’s easier than scrolling for hours

You’re not pretending to be an expert. You’re just someone who’s used the thing, likes the thing, and explains why.

🛠 Skills You’ll Need

• A social account with some kind of following (Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, or Facebook)

• Basic photo or video skills (short-form preferred)

• Honest review writing or voiceover confidence

• Ability to speak clearly to your audience’s needs

• Simple editing tools (Canva, CapCut, etc.)

You don’t need to go viral. You need to be helpful, clear, and consistent.

💸 Startup Costs

You can begin with tools you already own, but here’s what you might want to invest in:

• Amazon Influencer Program signup: Free

• Canva Pro for thumbnails and branding: $12.99/month (optional)

• Ring light or basic tripod: $20–$50 (optional)

• CapCut or InShot video editing app: Free or up to $10/month

• Stock photo subscription: $10–$30/month (optional)

• Products to review: $0 (use what you already have)

Total setup: ~$20–$50 to get going, depending on what you already own and which tools you choose.

⏰ Time Commitment

• Storefront setup: 2–3 hours (once-off)

• Content creation: 5–10 hours/week (video, photo, captions)

• Engagement & sharing: 1–2 hours/day

It’s not instant income, but with regular posting and smart promotion, it builds over time. Once your content is live, it can keep earning passively — even while you’re offline.
