If you're new, focus on the content first. Then look at your analytics and see where the majority of your views come from and prioritise those affiliate links. But you can also set up One Link so it connects them all. Check out my other video on it: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mMCqmdJkqpOtYpc.html

Thank you for all this info. I have both affiliate and influencer profile. My question is- how do i know which one im getting credit on? Are they linked? I get emails for the influencer program with different incentives. When i post reviews and videos, it looks like it shows on both pages? I guess im just confused and want to make sure im posting correctly to get monetized becase some things pay more on affiliates and some on influencers. When i click on reports, it only shows my stuff on one store ID although both show up. Thanks!

I believe they are linked - so you will be able to access them both from the same account, but they will have their own dashboards.

Create the website first without the images. Then wait to get approved to insert those. You can get stock images as replacement if you really need some. But you have to wait to send in your application to get access to the Site Stripe and images.

At 11:00 min on the subject of geo-tracking: I joined both programs and I linked my influencer/storefront link to my one-link. Can't I use one-link for both Instagram and my blog?

@TheSheApproach Жыл бұрын

The one link feature isn't available for the influencer program - only for the affiliate program. You can sign up and create multiple stores for the different countries (US, UK etc) and add them both on your blog / Instagram treelinks and so forth. The geo-tracking will only work for links you generate using the affiliate site-stripe. And yes - you can still share these on your blog/socials. But they usually lead to just one Amazon product, not your previously created storefront.

Hello! Great video! If I wanted to create a influencer storefront connecting to my pet's instagram page, how do I sign up for the influencer program? I am supposed to decide between creating a new account or using my existing personal amazon account (But with this disclaimer: Your shopping history, product reviews, lists and other content you have created on Amazon will be associated with your influencer account). I don't want to pay for 2 amazon accounts, so I think I would just select my existing account, but then it automatically connects to my personal instagram page and not my pet page. So I am not sure what to do. Do I just create a brand new amazon account for my pet and just not pay for the prime membership that I already have on my existing account?

@TheSheApproach 2 ай бұрын

You do not need to have a prime membership linked to your Amazon account for it to allow you to sign up as an influencer or affiliate. Just create a new Amazon account at that step, and only use that Amazon shopper account to connect to a new influencer account. You can continue to use your main Amazon account to do your shopping as regular.

@DavidMattock 5 ай бұрын

Great video thanks! 😊... Can you help with some confusion I have. I am already an amazon influencer, but I want to add written posts to my blog with product links. I presumed being accepted as an influencer automatically makes you an associate as well? because I have access to creating specific product links with Stripe. So Im now confused and wondered if you could answer: 1) Do we automatically become associates when accepted as Influencers? 2) Do we also need to make 3 sales in 180 days in all countries? Because UK don’t allow product placement yet on amazon video reviews, so I would need to drive the traffic for this 3) If we influencers get product link using stripe links, then add these to blog articles, is there any difference from someone who is only an amazon associate (not influencer) adding product links? .. Thank you!

Hello… I myself am a new Amazon affiliate, most certainly learning as I go the difference between an affiliate and influencer. I am curious what has worked best for people in the beginning as far as how to share the products sense with being an affiliate you do not get a storefront. Do you or anyone on here have suggestions on website information? Did you do it yourself or pay someone to do for you? I’m really trying to figure out how to monetize on sharing products that I love that I already share for free. Any help would be appreciated. thank y’all so much.

@TheSheApproach 9 ай бұрын

The people who were successful built an online audience - either leading them to their blogs or socials where they share content. You have to provide value beyond just selling to them. I've seen people do it with blogs - that are easier than ever to build - thesheapproach.com/how-to-start-blog/ - or just with social media and the influencer program. It all depends on your strategy!

I know it is a little off the topic, but what is the rule when it comes to posting links to your products on Pinterest? I am Ammazo Affiliate.

But I see people linking directly from Pinterest to the Amazon store. Does this mean they are Influencers?

Affiliates can share links on Pinterest, as it's technically allowed. But Pinterest doesn't push those kind of pins a lot, so you are better off creating pins to a claimed website's landing pages.

Your videos are all so helpful thank you. Question: I signed up as an influencer giving my IG account however, on the top left corner of my amazon page it states 'Amazon Associates'? On my storefront I've been able to set up different idea lists and have just posted my first blog on my website linking both my storefront as well as individual products. However, I've also posted a youtube video with a link to a specific product. Am I an affiliate or influencer? Lol

@TheSheApproach Ай бұрын

So glad to hear! If you applied through the influencer program, and had the option to build and link to a storefront - you're an influencer. Affiliates can't create a storefront, but I believe some influencers have said that Amazon has released the option to link to individual products now, and although you manage the two accounts in two separate dashboards, there is some overlap as they want people who are both influencers and affiliates to quickly find what they are looking for, which is why you might see the Amazon Associates in your dashboard.

@@TheSheApproach yes, i guess things are always changing. I'm able to create a storefront, link to my storefront and link to individual products as well. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything. Thank ou so much for the response!

Should you use your personal Amazon account or create a different account?

@TheSheApproach 7 ай бұрын

Yes, just use that. They will be seen as different platforms so it won't affect your regular shopping or the other way around.

I want to ask for commission rates, On-Site Amazon Influencer Commission Rates and Amazon Affiliate Commission Rates, it is totally diffirent?

@TheSheApproach Жыл бұрын

From what I know it's very similar. They might be several categories (fashion for example) that get higher commission as an influencer, but sometimes the affiliate program has promo months where they temporarily raise commissions as well.

Hi Ana, great video it's very informative. I am a new Amazon Affiliate and have my own website I created a front store selling male, female, and beauty products from Amazon (3 buttons). For example, the female fashion button has ten pages and each page contains 10 items eg, shirts, active, wears ..., the same for the others. Is that allowed for Amazon affiliates or just for Amazon influencers? My account was Frozen recently with the right to reapply. One of the things I have to be compliant with is the URLs for the 4 social media I am registered with, how can I have access to them? Many Thanks

@TheSheApproach 8 ай бұрын

Yes, you should be able to do that. Just make sure the pages are live and can be accessed, and disclose your domain URL as one of your links on your profile.

Ana your videos are very informative and you put out great content. I've learned alot. I have opened both personal/business and linked my first tik tok affiliate program account, I just did this 5/12/24. Everything was working out fine except when I click on tik tok shop I don't have the option to click on product market place button it just says shop or cant add the product to show case. I don't know what I did wrong and I am assuming I need this so I can link it later to the videos I make. I've seen so many youtube vid but this part is not explained or clear to me if am missing a step. I don't have the 5k followers yet. or is it that tik tok is not allowing me to sell in the affiliate program shop until I reach the 5k followers? has anybody else ran into this same problem?? Help please!!😔🤗

You cannot add Amazon products to the Tik Tok shop, they are two separate ecommerce platforms. You can share your affiliate links in your tiktok links, or showcase existing Tiktok products and earn affiliate income on those. But Tiktok shop products are dispatched by their own sellers, and you can't connect them to Amazon products.

I got both but didn't know. Lol. When i sign up for US amazon associate, I got email about. And so I forgot about it. For the influencer program in Canada, I sign up with linking my tiktok account and got approved fast. I created my store front and put the link into my 3 platforms. For both Amazon , how come I'm given 2 different ID account between the two? My storefront has strip hop links in it.

@TheSheApproach 2 ай бұрын

It's two different accounts on two different Amazon platforms, so you will have 2 ids.

@tanyahorncastle3197 2 ай бұрын

@@TheSheApproach They said amazon associate for 1 ID and amazon influencer for the other ID. So yes I have both.

Hey I want to know what is the difference between Amazon associates and Amazon seller

@TheSheApproach 3 ай бұрын

An Amazon associate is an affiliate - you lead people to buy off Amazon, but none of the products are yours. An Amazon seller is someone who has a Seller account and owns the listing, carries the stock etc.

Hi, that's great info! Thanks! But I have a question? As an Amazon influencer could you be a part of Amazon Associates or you have to apply separately, and if you are Amazon influencer do you have to make those 3 videos review to actually keep your storefront, and just have only Products without videos for that you won't be kicked out. Is the 3 videos must to start? If not can I do those videos for later time and for now just create my Amazon storefront with the products? I hope my question makes sense if you could replay please! ❤thank you!

Also, I would like to start a blog for both the Amazon program and how can I start?

@TheSheApproach 2 ай бұрын

Heya - the 3 sales minimum only applies to affiliates. For influencers, once you're in, you're in! And you can be both an influencer with a storefront and an affiliate sharing specific product links at the same time if it makes sense for you!

@TheSheApproach 2 ай бұрын

Look up Amazon Associates to join that, but set up your blog first. Here's my free course on how to do that: thesheapproach.thrivecart.com/start-a-profitable-blog-course/

I was approved and made the sales but then my account was closed because I didn’t meet requirement could it be due to not having a website because all I put was my ltk. Also would link tree count as a website or no?

@TheSheApproach 8 ай бұрын

Did you not make enough sales, or did some of them not count? The requirements usually reflect if they approved the sales or not - so they might look into where they came from. You can list your link-tree, but usually you need to link the social media profile where you attach that link first, as that's what you use to drive traffic.

really...I just had a landing page and a website address hooked up, to get in to associates/affilaite...what she says is true, thats what they want. im just saying that you can still get in without a blog.now this was about a years ago alittle less, happy life✌️ also you have to tell them your already a affilaite for other places im pretty sure,

@TheSheApproach 5 ай бұрын

You don't need to disclose if you are an affiliate for other programs. There's no exclusivity required. But you can get approved with a social media account now as well, as long as you have good content/engagement and around 500 followers according to their requirements.
