1. Introduction
The Amazon Influencer Program is a side hustle that I've been pursuing for the past four months. As a reminder, the program allows influencers to earn a commission when someone clicks on their video, watches it for at least 30 seconds, and then goes on to buy the product. In this article, I'll be sharing my earnings, findings, and thoughts on the program as I move into Q4.
2. Total Earnings at Four Months In
After four months in the program, my total earnings are $8,772. This is a significant amount of money for a side hustle that I spend only five to ten hours a week on. However, it's important to keep in mind that earnings have been volatile, with some months being better than others.
3. Findings from September
September was a tale of two halves. The first half of the month was where the bulk of my earnings came from, and I was on track to crack $3,000 for the month. However, the second half of the month saw a significant drop in clicks on my videos, which led to a drop in earnings.
Upon further investigation, it appears that Amazon changed the way that videos are displayed on product listings, which may have contributed to the drop in clicks. However, this is not uncommon, and many long-time influencers in the program have experienced similar volatility.
4. Things I'm Trying
In an effort to increase my earnings, I've been trying different types of videos. Most notably, I've been creating comparison videos, which are similar to the comparison articles I write for my blogs. While these videos haven't earned much so far, I'm hoping that they will perform better in Q4.
5. Thoughts Moving Forward
As I move into Q4, I'm going to focus on seasonal products in my videos. With Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and other holidays coming up, I'm hoping that people will be interested in purchasing seasonal decor and other items.
While the Amazon Influencer Program has been a great side hustle for me, the volatility of earnings makes it difficult to rely on as a primary income stream. However, I'm still optimistic about the program and plan to continue pursuing it in the coming months.
6. Number and Types of Videos
At this point, I have a total of 847 videos between myself and my business partner. Most of these videos have been single product reviews, but I've been experimenting with different types of videos, including comparison videos.
7. Focus on Seasonal Products
As mentioned earlier, I plan to focus on seasonal products in my videos in the coming months. I'm hoping that this will help increase clicks and earnings, especially with the holiday season coming up.
8. Recap of September
While September was a frustrating month in terms of earnings, it's important to keep things in perspective. After only four months in the program, I've earned almost $9,000, which is a significant amount of money for a side hustle.
9. Is the Amazon Influencer Program a Good Side Hustle?
Overall, I believe that the Amazon Influencer Program is a great side hustle. However, the volatility of earnings makes it difficult to rely on as a primary income stream. If you're interested in pursuing the program, I recommend starting slowly and experimenting with different types of videos to see what works best for you.
