Amazon’s Affiliate program became so popular that, the company decided to slightly take it several steps further and in 2017, Amazon Influencer Program was created. Unlike Amazon’s affiliate program this new program is more exclusive as it lets anyone link to products for the small number of commissions. The program is open to qualifying consumers who have YouTube, Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook accounts.<\/p>\n

Creators say that revenue from the Amazon Influencer Program<\/a> can vary from a few dollars to $1,500 a month. Commission rates range from 10% for Amazon’s private-label fashion line to 1% for video games and consoles.<\/p>\n

Why Amazon started this program?
<\/h4>\n

Amazon realized that social media influencers<\/a> with large audiences could broaden its reach by promoting products. They also realized influencers were searching for better ways to partner with brands to monetize their fame.<\/p>\n

At first, Amazon took a risk by knowing that influencers would take advantage of the program, giving misleading reviews to products just to make money. But, that\u2019s not how today\u2019s young influencers work. Influencers don\u2019t necessarily promote products because they know followers trust their opinions and crave discovering relevant brands. Influencers are also keenly aware of how Amazon bans fraudulent reviewers. And those young, rising stars don\u2019t want to make it onto that list.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

How does the program work?<\/strong>

It\u2019s pretty similar to how Amazon Affiliate<\/a> works. Users can build links and shopping ads, and then integrate them onto their own websites or blogs. When people click on that link and buy a product, the affiliate gets a commission on the product. The amount of commission depends on what type of product was sold.<\/p>\n

The main difference between Affiliate and Influencer programs is that, with Amazon\u2019s Influencer Program, people have to apply to be \u201cusing the social media account in which they\u2019ll have the most influence on their followers, while on Affiliate program anyone can sign up and get started. <\/p>\n

There\u2019s no guarantee they\u2019ll get into the program. If you don\u2019t qualify right away, Amazon encourages you to come back in the future as the eligibility requirements may change over time.<\/p>\n
