How I Made $70,000 Working Part-Time With The Amazon Influencer Program

I’m sharing all the juicy details of how I was able to generate a full-time income last year — without working full-time hours. 😮

Whether you’ve heard of the Amazon Influencer program or not, this program has completely changed the way I make money online, and I’m breaking down exactly how it works, how I did it, and the money I made so you can decide if it’s something you want to try too.

(And if you want to know all the products I use to make my videos faster & better, check out my Amazon Influencer Essentials list here.)

With the Amazon Influencer program, Amazon sellers send me products to create shoppable videos for them. These are short review-style videos that I upload directly to Amazon.

I’m pretty sure my neighbors think I have a major shopping problem 😂
Little do they know… when a package shows up at my door, I’m usually making money — not spending it 😉

And not chump change either — I’m talking what a lot of people would consider an annual salary.

Making Over $70,000 Working Part-Time Hours With the Amazon Influencer Program

I know that number probably sounds crazy — especially for something I do part-time — so let me walk you through exactly how this works from start to finish.

I’ve been in the Amazon Influencer program for about two years now.

(Side note: Amazon Influencer is different from Amazon Associate. Influencers create shoppable videos that live directly on Amazon, while Associates usually promote products on social media or blogs.)

When I first got accepted, I reached out to Amazon sellers in free Facebook groups and offered to create shoppable videos for their products. After I had around 100 videos uploaded, sellers started reaching out to me instead.

I started a YouTube channel, Instagram and Facebook for my shoppable videos (even though I didn’t have to). I linked those accounts to my Amazon Storefront (which hosts all of my shoppable videos). Sellers could go to my storefront and see my social media accounts, then message me directly through those accounts.

In the beginning, I would create a shoppable video in exchange for just the product. As I went along, I started charging sellers in order to create those shoppable videos.

I also set up a Fiverr account so sellers could book my Amazon shoppable video gig.

Let’s pause for a moment. Anyone who’s business-minded is always looking for the best market to be in.

For Amazon Influencers, one of the biggest opportunities is low-ticket products. There are tons of sellers willing to pay $10–$20 per shoppable video — and when you do this at scale, it adds up fast.

That’s why I focused on volume (low-ticket, high frequency) and went where the largest market was.

Creating Content

In order to make this work — meaning part-time hours but full-time income — I had to seriously streamline my filming process.

My goal was simple:
Film as many videos as possible, as efficiently as possible, and get paid.

I found Billy Thorpe, who has absolutely mastered this process.

Now, since I am business minded, I am all about paying someone to teach me their strategy so I can learn it faster and starting making more money sooner.

I joined his group & learned his ways! If you’re at all interested, his group is now free and he has a paid mastermind you can join later if you want. Click here for more info (and let him know I sent you!).

I now create most of my videos in one take. If I need to add in footage, then I will. For example, if I have to put together an office chair, I will show all of the pieces and then show it all put together. But there’s no editing out um’s, pauses, whatever. It’s one take and done! 5 minutes for each simple video.

I started with my cell phone (not the newest cell phone, iPhone 12 max pro) & a tripod and then moved to my camera (Canon m50) that I already had for my finance YouTube channel.

By using my camera for the front shot, my iPhone for an overhead shot, eCamm Live software and an Elgato foot pedal, I was able to film videos very quickly.

If you’re just getting started, please don’t feel like you need all of this equipment. A phone and a tripod is more than enough to begin — everything else just helped me move faster once I was already making money.

Uploading Content

After I’ve recorded the videos, they are saved on my computer. I save each video with the ASIN number in the file name making it easier to upload to Amazon and YouTube, and find it later. I drag and drop them all together into the ‘upload content’ box on my Amazon storefront.

This tool just launched, but it automates the process of taking your Amazon shoppable videos and posting them to YouTube – such a game changer. It makes it SO MUCH faster to upload my videos to YouTube now –> Cha Ching Automate, enter code: Tiffany for 10% off

Since I decided to start social media channels for my videos, I’ve posted some on Facebook, TikTok and Instagram. I am more consistent with YouTube so I can generate ad revenue.

I also offer the seller an option for me to post the video on my socials for an extra charge. This also gives sellers more exposure, which is why many are happy to pay extra for it.

Selling Products

Woohoo! I have sold sooooo many products!

This part alone added thousands to my income — and it’s something a lot of people completely overlook.

I did 2 large yard sales last year & sold A LOT of the items (like 100’s). I’ll give you the numbers breakdown at the end of the post. I also sold some larger items on KSL (a popular website in Utah) and some items to friends.

For my yard sale, I put up signs on the main roads nearby & in my neighborhood the night before. I posted it on Facebook Marketplace, KSL and my own personal Facebook profile.

During the yard sale, I went live on Facebook and told people they could DM me if they were interested in something I was showing. I had a good turnout for the yard sale & friends messaged me about items they wanted to purchase.

I accepted cash, Venmo and Zelle. The more ways people could pay, the more people that would purchase. I also printed out my Venmo and Zelle QR codes so people that were helping me could show the QR code. Worked great!

I have also donated a lot of items. I had about 50 dresses I donated to sister missionaries in Mexico and a lot of items to goodwill.

Do not underestimate the money you can make by selling these items. Sometimes I will create a video for an item without charging the seller because I know I can resell it for good money. For example, I got a cloud couch, which only required me pulling it out of the boxes, recording the video & then selling it for a few hundred dollars.

Getting Paid

So how much money did I actually make from the Amazon Influencer program?

Before I share my numbers, I need to mention one software that helped increase my earnings significantly — Oink.

Here’s why Oink is such a game changer:

• Not only do I earn commission when someone watches my video and buys that product, I can now also earn commission on similar products I do not have a video for (halo sales).

• I can earn higher commissions through Creator Connections campaigns that Oink will automatically add me to. If you aren’t in the campaign, you aren’t getting the extra commission.

Creator Connections campaigns can pay 10%–50%, compared to Amazon’s usual 2%–5%.

This is an absolute game changer!

Using Oink has increased my earnings drastically and I would definitely recommend using it if you are serious about the Amazon Influencer program. You can get 10% off by using code: TIFFANY, CLICK HERE to check out Oink and increase your earnings without spending more time to do it!

And there is one free website I use to get free products, Logie. Logie will match me with products and I can decide if I want Logie to send the products to me or not. I usually do because I can make a quick video & collect extra income.

Here’s the full breakdown of what I made in just one year:

Paid Brand Deals $26,961
Onsite Commissions $$32,153
Offsite Commissions $4,090
Ad Revenue $1,224 (some of this is from my finance channel, but more is definitely from my Amazon Review channel)
Yard Sale/Selling Products Online $6,469
Logie $480
TOTAL: $71,377

There you have it! I was able to make over $70k from the Amazon Influencer program in one year without working 40 hours per week.

If you’re someone who wants flexibility, enjoys creating short review-style videos, and doesn’t want to invest a ton of money upfront, this program is absolutely worth considering.

And if you have questions, drop them in the comments — I’m happy to do another post answering them in detail.

FAQs

Is it still viable to make a full-time income from the Amazon Influencer program in 2026?
- Yes — but it does take work. This isn’t lazy money. If you want reliable income without an upfront investment, high frequency with low-ticket products is the way to go.
How much can you make with the Amazon Influencer program?
- I know people that are bringing in $10k-$15k per month. I also know people who are bringing in $200-$300 per month. It depends on the effort you put in and putting in the right effort.
Do I need to already have a following on social media?
- To get accepted into the Amazon Influencer program, you will need to apply with a social media channel. From what I understand, Amazon looks at engagement more than followers. So if you only have 7 TikTok followers, but people are engaging with your content, you can still get approved.
