There is power to all channels. The reality is everyone is chasing sub count, but I have a smaller channel and I am making over $5K per month from it. I think the REAL key comes down to the loyalty of your following, building slow, and executing on the right affiliations to really bring in money. Thank you for your continued insights, man, you crush it every video!
I’m so excited to see this interview with Kathleen! Two days ago I was approved for Onsite Placement with the influencer program, my focus now will be up loading as many quality videos as I can before Q4 starts rolling! I’m at 491 subscribers here on UA-cam. My advice is to apply, I’m 58 years old and I made it
Let us know if you actually make any money. It’s misleading Sean makes the claim she made $6k+ in her first or second month, but then she says, “I’ve been selling on Amazon since 2009”…🤷♂️ Pretty sure he’s getting paid commission for her programs she sells about this process.
I'm glad Kathleen gave real info and not slimy tactics as many who promote Amazon influencer courses do. Thank you for that! BUT - I think she might be selling a dream more than the reality of the program lately. In 2021, 2022 and even last year shoppable videos were doing really well! I've done this full time since Jan 2022 and I'm beyond grateful for my income for it. That said, 2024 has been rough!! In part two can you get real about the numbers you saw in August just for onsite commissions? Is 10k a month (just onsite) really her average in 2024? Thanks!
Kathleen is the real deal!! She is very down to earth and doesn't give any fluff to her stuff!! I purchased her course and it is the best $$ I have spent on a course ever! She doesn't say anything that could be verified as false. I trust what she says 100%!
I’ve been looking up and down Amazon and it looks like their Influencer reviewer program seems to be invite-only. Is this true? Is this the same as Vine and Early Reviewer program? Thanks for any insight you can share!
10:53 It always comes back to *WHO YOU KNOW!* 🙄 I'm 52 and I have never ever met anybody who knew anything about anything. All they ever knew was to apply for a job at McDonald's or Walmart & then spend the rest of their life in that death sentence.
You would be surprised to see how many UA-cam creators are also using some other online services to help them grow their channel (I am also using a little bit of Famester). Even the most popular content creators are using similar services, so I also decided to do it on my own... I thought why not, and honestly my main channel wouldn't be so much successful without this strategy.
Thank you for telling us about this opportunity. What benefit you receive for telling us about it? You must disclose or face possibly of a LawSuit if I do not use this program right.
I want to you to know your so different (high value, extremely helpful) to the other tubers producing u tube success education. I find other channels provide little or misguiding content that is useless and a source of frustration & confusion. It’s insightful phenomenon that it has taken over a year of viewing this niche before I found/ utube suggested your videos. Thank you for doing what you do.
important to note her claims of making $4k on second month was in 2021 during peak pandemic. You're not going to get the same results in 2024. Many reports on reddit give more accurate expectations which is expect to upload 1000 videos to make $1k a month
Appreciate you watching and commenting! Amazon's revenue continues to grow year over year since the pandemic and doesn't seem to be slowing down. Regarding earnings, the more seasoned people in the AIP will tell you that it's not about the quantity of videos you upload to Amazon that determines your earnings, but the quality of videos and the product selection you create for. Hope that helps! 🙂
Great advice! Thank you so much.🤗I am an Amazon Associate and I try to make my first 3 purchases to stay in the program but hearing about the influencer Amazon program is genius. She is amazing!!! Hopefully I can join soon.🤗
Funny, I had just started as an Amazon Associate and had been looking for something else, then this video automatically popped up! As soon as I saw it was Think Media, of course I watched it. I'm glad I did, yet another way to earn for a small Creator like me under 500 subs. Thanks for the great information, looking forward to your next video on this!😊❤
I'm already an Amazon Seller and have an active account. How do I access this additional feature to be able to upload videos as well? Is there a link that I'm missing?
you don't make money instantly, it's 60 days at least and I'm surprised the course is called video review since amazon discourages that terminology amongst influencers
Thanks for covering Kathleen’s work Sean. Been listening to her for awhile. She’s so knowledgeable & encouraging in this space. Had a question Kathleen in regards to duplicate videos. At 24:44 you mentioned you take your video for Amazon & put it on UA-cam as well. Make’s total sense for getting more commissions through the Amazon Associates program. But you also mentioned you can’t have duplicate videos. I’m sure I’m understanding it wrong but would you mind clarifying. Thanks in advance! Also- does whatever account we signed up with have to also have video product reviews posted on that account or do they live only on the Amazon product page?
Kathleen can correct me if I’m wrong but I think she is referring to the face that you can’t duplicate videos on the Amazon. What she is saying you can do is repurpose your Amazon shoppable videos on UA-cam 😉. Also the account you sign up with doesn’t have a be a reviews channel. Can be anything! 🎉
Amazon does not allow the same video to be posted more than once on their platform, but they don't mind if you repurpose the content you upload to Amazon on other platforms, like UA-cam and social channels.
hi sean, question, what do you think that makes you stand out / have advantage over smaller emerging creators (other than num of sub) just wanna find out what i need to focus on developing
No, you will still need to be approved for Amazon's influencer program first, but you can build out your page while you're waiting for Amazon to approve your first 3 videos for onsite commission. Hope that helps! 🙂
This is just what I needed for my next steps. Thanks Sean. If I’m in the Amazon Affiliate Program does that mean I’m already set for the Influencer Program?
No. You need to make 3 videos to submit in order for Amazon to review your videos and then they will accept you into the Amazon Influencer Program or not.
I have made over 100 Amazon videos. I would have over 200 videos on there but Amazon rejects every video I made with a US flag in the background. Even UA-cam doesnt do that I have over 1500 videos on youtube with my flag appearing somewhere in almost every video.
nobody needs to pay for a course. everything can be found for free on UA-cam or reddit. Its mostly saturated anyway and will only get worse because of the gurus
I bought the Video Ranking Academy and watched a lot of it, optimized my channel, my videos, created pretty good thumbnails and titles, spent hundreds of hours making truly worthwhile content, but still have trouble monetizing.....it's harder than you guys make it sound.
I'd look around your house to see what's being on sold on Amazon that you already have vs. buying a bunch of stuff. There are opportunities all around you!
Great Guest! I signed up for Kathleen Masterclass🥳🎊 My small UA-cam channel has been growing due to consistency and optimization. I have an active TikTok account. So, it looks like Amazon Influencer Program is a great opportunity to boost it and earn extra 💵 Thank you Sean 🙂

Agreed, commissions are down significantly from 2022.
I’ve been looking up and down Amazon and it looks like their Influencer reviewer program seems to be invite-only. Is this true? Is this the same as Vine and Early Reviewer program? Thanks for any insight you can share!
@@Imsarahamirawhy is that so?
@@zz.158 not sure, maybe the saturation of people now doing reviews or Amazon switching placement of the videos.
10:53 It always comes back to *WHO YOU KNOW!* 🙄 I'm 52 and I have never ever met anybody who knew anything about anything. All they ever knew was to apply for a job at McDonald's or Walmart & then spend the rest of their life in that death sentence.
I've started my channel and am learning so much from you! Really appreciate all your work 🙏
Thanks to both of you! I’m gonna get started today!
Awesome! Glad to hear that!
Awesome and jucy information. Thanks for puting this video in front of us 🙏 looking forward to see part 2
Superb work dear
Great show! Thanks for sharing the knowledge, love it!!!
Yes!! a lot of people don’t know about that separate flight and it has made me a lot more than my Amazon storefront

Love the Amazon Influencer Program!
This is perfect timing as I prepare to start a new YT channel
Your the man im learning from your videos brother God bless you always pray for you and your family Assad ali from Kenya Mombasa Africa
Thanks for the kind words! God bless. 🙏🏻
Engagement and that seems to be I’ve been a part of the Amazon affiliate program for two years, and I never knew I could do this with reviews
You could go CRAZY doing this with all the tools and stuff in your garage 👀
@@ThinkMediaPodcast Absolutely mind blowing! Love the podcast, it’s great when I get a chance to listen
Yup, at first I thought it was only having a storefront page which I thought was kinda lame rather than product page placement
Thanks about to watch ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉it is now 1:07am and I am sitting on my sofa bed in New York City ❤
Insightful. I am one of those small people who is recently experiencing slow growth.

Awesome job @smartbusinessmom Your course is amazing!
Thank you so much!
Hello everyone, good afternoon! Great video, congratulations for your work done on UA-cam
1st time to comment 1st 😅 Not monetised yet but almost at 1k Subs 🙏🏾 However, this upload is interesting to understand different revenue streams…
💯
57 away!

Great guest! Will need a following for the influencer program, but can make money on Amazon associates beforehand for sure 👍🏻
Most definitely can! That is a great way to get started.
i dont believe you need that much. you send test videos when you apply
Great advice! Thank you so much.🤗I am an Amazon Associate and I try to make my first 3 purchases to stay in the program but hearing about the influencer Amazon program is genius. She is amazing!!! Hopefully I can join soon.🤗
Try the TikTok strategy she mentioned! 🔥
@@ThinkMediaPodcastThank you so much for answering my question. I don’t have TikTok . Only Instagram and UA-cam .
@@healthycleanrecipesStart one! 😉

I notice there is a logo in black says Amazon's Choice
Is that anything to do with the influencer video your referring to ?
No, not directly. That badge is based on sales from a particular keyword.
Is this only for Amazon Influencer Program in the U.S????
Storefronts are available in numerous countries!
One I notice says Customer review : It works then someone's name
I've been snoozing on this but I've been in the Influencer program for a while. I need to create some videos, lol!
Great interview. I just got accepted 🎉🎉🎉
Woo hoo! Congrats! 🎉
How did you do it Danielle?
I'm already an Amazon Seller and have an active account. How do I access this additional feature to be able to upload videos as well? Is there a link that I'm missing?
I doubt sellers can also be influencers as that would be a conflict of interest.. but who knows
you don't make money instantly, it's 60 days at least and I'm surprised the course is called video review since amazon discourages that terminology amongst influencers
yes.. I was going to say the same. even if you earn money your first week you won't get paid for at least 2 months
Hi there, it's not...the course is called Influence & Earn. :-)

@@kathleenkobelThanks so much Kathleen!
What if I’m Amazon Influencer approved from an old social media account but now I’ve started a new one?
hi sean, question, what do you think that makes you stand out / have advantage over smaller emerging creators (other than num of sub)
just wanna find out what i need to focus on developing
Or is lower down under a heading called Videos ?
I started my channel a week ago got my first 22 subscribers I know it's not much but feels like an achievement hope I make monetisation one day
If you sign up for the free master class, you can skip to about 13 minutes for the meat of the info.
I am a little unclear. I can build out my influencer page without being approved first?
No, you will still need to be approved for Amazon's influencer program first, but you can build out your page while you're waiting for Amazon to approve your first 3 videos for onsite commission. Hope that helps! 🙂
This is just what I needed for my next steps. Thanks Sean. If I’m in the Amazon Affiliate Program does that mean I’m already set for the Influencer Program?
No. You need to make 3 videos to submit in order for Amazon to review your videos and then they will accept you into the Amazon Influencer Program or not.
@@seosam652that’s pretty easy. Thank you so much.
Nice rebound @thinkmediapodcast featuring an ALLSTAR from the program after the last miscue!
Hey think media podcast 😁👋
I applied, but i was turned down
How does a person make 4,700 on a $32 laundry hamper when Amazon pays you 3%?
I have made over 100 Amazon videos. I would have over 200 videos on there but Amazon rejects every video I made with a US flag in the background. Even UA-cam doesnt do that I have over 1500 videos on youtube with my flag appearing somewhere in almost every video.
$500 course! ouch!
nobody needs to pay for a course. everything can be found for free on UA-cam or reddit. Its mostly saturated anyway and will only get worse because of the gurus
💯
I'm not on tiktok as i don't like it. What kind of UA-cam following do you need?
I bought the Video Ranking Academy and watched a lot of it, optimized my channel, my videos, created pretty good thumbnails and titles, spent hundreds of hours making truly worthwhile content, but still have trouble monetizing.....it's harder than you guys make it sound.
the real money is selling the course which is why they do so. If the influencer program was as good as they sell it, they wouldn't be selling a course
@@sidehustlespy this absolutely the truth
🌬️💨💨🌊🏄🏾♂️🤙🏼
But are you having to buy a bunch of stuff to review??? What the heck that should be first thing.
I'd look around your house to see what's being on sold on Amazon that you already have vs. buying a bunch of stuff. There are opportunities all around you!
