What is an Amazon Influencer, Anyway?

Amazon influencers are creators who promote products via Amazon’s influencer program.

Here’s a rundown of how the Amazon Influencer Program works:

  • Like most major affiliate programs, content creators apply to be Amazon influencers.
  • Approved creators are given an affiliate link. This link lets them monetize their content.
  • Creators earn a commission for purchases tracked by their link clicks within 24 hours.

Approved creators also get their own Amazon influencer storefront. This is a landing page featuring a creator's recommended products. Storefront sales are attributed to creators.

Now, let’s dig into how these creators promote their links and drive sales on social media.

Consider that both TikTok and Instagram prohibit external links in posts. Most creators use their bio links to funnel traffic to Amazon. Here’s an example from Instagram:

What happens when you actually click their bio link, though? Below is what an Amazon influencer storefront looks like:

These landing pages feature product recommendations and collections of an influencer's favorite items. Most collections follow specific themes. For example, you might see collections for fall fashion trends or kitchen essentials. Storefronts are a big part of what separates influencers from Amazon's affiliate program (aka "Amazon Associates").

The official Amazon influencer marketing program is notable for a few reasons:

  • The diversity of the program’s members. Amazon affiliates can range from micro-influencers to celebrities.
  • The program’s requirements are pretty loose. Amazon simply says you need an “active” YouTube, Instagram or Facebook account. They’ll also look at your engagement rate. While requirement-driven brand ambassador programs are often restrictive for applicants, Amazon's isn’t.
  • The Amazon Influencer Program welcomes creators from every industry. That’s because Amazon sells such a wide range of products.
