Are you looking to make money through your social media accounts like Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, or Instagram? In case your answer is “Yes” then this post is for you. In this post, I will be introducing “Amazon Influencer Program” to you. Recently, Amazon has introduced Amazon Influencer Program in India. Let’s look at how to join Amazon Influencer Program with a qualifying Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, or Instagram account and make money.

What is the Amazon Influencer Program?

The Amazon Influencer Program is an extension to the online Associates program for social media influencers. It is a monetization method that enables social media influencers to make money by recommending products to their followers. With Amazon Influencer Program, you get your own customized page on Amazon with an exclusive vanity URL to showcase the products you recommend to your followers.

The Amazon Influencer Program allows you to choose a name for your Amazon storefront and curate various products into different categories. Refer your followers to your Amazon storefront. You will get a commission when your referral purchases a product.

How does the Amazon Influencer Program work?

The Amazon Influencer Program allows you to create your own storefront on Amazon with a personalized URL to show the products you recommend to your followers. Just promote your URL to make it easier for your followers to shop your recommended products and earn money on qualifying purchases. 

Three simple steps to understand:

1. Create your storefront - Crete your own page on Amazon with a short and personalized URL and use it to recommend thousands of products.

2. Share products - Use your exclusive vanity URL to show the products you recommend to your followers, all in one shoppable spot.

3. Get rewarded - When your followers’ shop through your storefront, you earn money on qualifying purchases.
