You’ve probably heard the phrase “connected on my Amazon storefront” if you use social media. Influencers will blatantly promote their stores since they get paid when you make a purchase from their favourites page. Good news: you can now accomplish it as well. Simply submit an application to the Amazon Influencer Program to start your own storefront.
I am aware that the term “influencer” might be daunting because it is frequently used to refer to an online persona with a sizable following. However, Amazon also permits participation from content producers with a typical number of followers. I was authorised despite having 1.6K Instagram followers and 5.5K TikTok subscribers. In addition to your number of followers, the online retail behemoth considers additional interaction data. I can tell you that if you continuously provide material, you will get accepted.
Step 1: Go to the Amazon website
Step 2: Sign into your Amazon account or create a new one
You will be sent to a page where you can choose the Amazon account you want to link to your influencer account after clicking the Sign Up button. You may access your buying history, product reviews, and existing lists by logging in with your Amazon account, which is already active. Open a new account if you’d want to keep your current account and your other account separate, or if you don’t have one now.
Step 3: Look for Amazon’s “approval”
You’ve been given the go-ahead. Setting up the storefront is now necessary. You should make concept lists with your favourite Amazon products or suggestions on them. Make lists that, ideally, correspond to your content to keep your fans interested. For instance, CarterPC is a popular influencer who covers technology; as a result, his storefront is filled with his preferred tech accessories.
The struggle is not over once you’ve been accepted. If you want to increase the likelihood that others will buy your advice, share the link as you won’t get paid unless they do.
