Amazon Page For Influencer Marketing Beginers

Description

What’s the Amazon Influencer Program?

The Amazon Influencer Program allows you to get your own presence on Amazon, which you can customize and curate with products you recommend in your videos on YouTube or pictures on Instagram. We also give you a special vanity URL (amazon.com/shop/influencerhandle), which allows you to promote your Amazon presence verbally to your followers. When customers visit your page and shop on Amazon, you get compensated for purchases in a similar fashion as you would with the Amazon Associates program. You can now send your followers to shop your favorite products in one place with their trusted e-commerce leader.

What items qualify for commission income, and how are the commissions calculated?

Influencers earn commission income when visitors follow links from their sites to Amazon.com, make a purchase, and the item is dispatched. These links can be to individual products, pages of search results, the Amazon.com home page, or any other page at Amazon.com. Influencers can also place product search boxes on their sites. Please note that commission income are calculated on the sale price, not the list price, of each qualifying item.

How do I earn Onsite Commissions?

Now, shoppable content and product recommendations you upload to your Amazon storefront may be selected to appear to customers as they search and browse Amazon for products and services. If your content is selected, you will earn onsite rates when customers click on your content and make a qualifying purchase. If this happens, you will need to update tax and payment information for your new Store ID in order to receive payment.

When logged into your account on Associates Central, you will see a Store ID at the top right for your onsite account (it may begin with “onamz“). This is your ID to track your onsite earnings (Onsite Store ID). This Onsite Store ID was created by Amazon on your behalf to ensure you are compensated when your content helps customers that encounter your content on Amazon make qualifying purchases. Onsite earnings are what you would earn if someone was already browsing on Amazon, sees your photos or videos, and purchases something. As you didn’t directly drive that customer to Amazon to shop, but influenced them to purchase once they were there, we compensate you for the purchase but at an onsite rate.

Your Onsite Store ID does not affect or change your rates for traffic you send to Amazon, including your storefront or other pages you link to on Amazon (e.g., product pages). You should continue to use the same Store ID(s) you have been using when driving traffic to Amazon.

Millions of customers shop on Amazon. We are excited to share your shoppable content (e.g. Idea Lists, photos, videos, and livestreams where applicable) with customers as they search and browse Amazon for products and services. This is a great opportunity to expand your brand and build your following. Please watch your Amazon Influencer Program newsletters for updates about the types of content we are looking to feature.

How do I share my storefront with my followers?

As an influencer, leveraging social media is essential for engaging with your followers and driving traffic to your influencer storefront. Your audience looks to you for the best product recommendations and quality content, so it’s important to share your page (www.amazon.com/shop/yourhandle) and product links in ways that optimize each platform and adhere to disclosure requirements.

When will I get paid?

Payments are made monthly if your balance meets the minimum threshold. We must have your tax information on file before we can make any payments.

Commission income are paid by direct deposit, Amazon.com Gift Certificate, or check approximately 60 days after the end of the month for which they are being paid.

Payment for January is made in late March.
Payment for February is made in late April.
Payment for March is made in late May.
Payment for April is made in late June.
Payment for May is made in late July.
Payment for June is made in late August.
Payment for July is made in late September.
Payment for August is made in late October.
Payment for September is made in late November.
Payment for October is made in late December.
Payment for November is made in late January of the following year (approximately 60 days after Nov. 30).
Payment for December is made in late February of the following year (approximately 60 days after Dec. 31).
For example: If you’re being paid by gift certificate and you earned more than the $10 threshold in January, the payment for that month will be issued by the end of March.

Commissions are earned after the order has shipped. You may notice that some items won’t appear in the Earnings Report after an order has been placed. There are multiple reasons this could happen.

1. The order may have been cancelled before it shipped
2. The order may have not shipped out yet (some pre-orders and out of stock items may have extended times till they ship)
3. The system has marked the order as ineligible for commission income. (See description below)

Associates are not eligible for commission income from orders placed on their behalf, or by closely related parties. The Amazon.com Associates Program is an advertising program and is not intended to provide discounts onpurchases. Our intent is to pay commission income when associates refer unrelated customers to Amazon. Associates who refer family members, friends, or close acquaintances to place their orders through their links may not receive advertising commissions for those purchases. We recommend that you look to reach potential Amazon customers who you don’t havepre-existing relationships with. The Operating Agreement defines what criteria are used to determine order eligibility.
