Amazon’s Influencer Program allows you to make money from just sharing your favorite Amazon finds. The best part: you don’t need millions of followers.

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 they make a purchase from their favorites 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” can 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 got authorized despite having 1.6K Instagram followers and 5.5K TikTok subscribers. In addition to your number of followers, the online retail behemoth considers other interaction data.

Step 1: Go to the Amazon website

Launch your web browser and navigate to Amazon.com using this URL. You’ll be directed to the landing page where you can register for the Amazon Influencer Program. Click the Sign-up button after that.

Step 2: Sign into your Amazon account or create a new one

You will be directed 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 already.

Step 3: Look for Amazon’s “approval”

Once you’ve linked your accounts, you’ll be asked a few additional questions, such as your social network handles, to see if you qualify or not. Then comes the moment you’ve been waiting for: *drumroll* You’ll find out if your application is accepted. Do not lose heart if your application is rejected. If you’d like, you can improve your social media profile by posting more frequently and applying daily. It’s time to go to the next stage if you were accepted.

Set up your storefront and share the link

You’ve been given the go-ahead. Setting up the storefront is now necessary. You should make concept lists with your favorite Amazon products or suggestions on them. Make lists that, ideally, correspond to your content to keep your followers interested. For instance, CarterPC is a popular influencer who covers technology; as a result, his storefront is filled with his preferred tech accessories.

The battle 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.

As per Amazon, “All forms of influencers are welcome to apply as long as they have a YouTube, Instagram, or Facebook account.
