I just got approved today, Thursday and submitted Monday. So, 3 days for Onsite Commissions on my first attempt. I used my Pixel phone and natural sunlight coming into the room with a simple background. I did add those videos onto my youtube account and linked my amazon store as well as my affiliate link to the products in the description. Each video was 1:40-1:55 minutes long. I shot some nice, panning B roll and even did a time lapse. Probably more than what was needed but I wanted it to get approved. I even took your advice to be more active on TH-cam, by commenting on channels that I get value from. I also worked on my store by making lists and ideas. I hope that helps!
I just checked out your videos -- very cute! And congratulations - I hope you do very well!
@@HiDefCreative thank you!
Hey champion guess what good news, I got accepted, my first try with my first three videos big up thanks one love.
LOVE it, your authenticity and your are also so sincerely wanting people to get the. best out of these programs :)
Yes! I'm here to teach and motivate! Thank you for supporting my channel!
I got approved today!!! I am so excited!! Thank you for all your helpful tips. I love your channel. I hope this can turn into something really good!!
Hi how’s it going after 1 month?)
hows it going
Hey if it says published it means is it ok? I uploaded 3 videos 1 is published and 2 is on review? What if if two will be denied what will I do next?
until you got the pop-up a congratulation you can earn commission@@thecogginsdiaries4523
Congrats! Can I ask what social media forum you used to get approved?
Thank you so much for sharing. I love how much your confidence in front of the camera has developed after such a short time. This inspires me! ❤
Hey! Thank you so much! I'm glad you can tell. Everything seems scary and daunting at first, but then when you actually do it, it isn't so bad! I'm so glad I could inspire you! Keep going and you can achieve anything that you want to!
Finally, I found what I was looking for during a whole day! Thank you for a sample of the videos !!!!
I'm sorry it took you all day! I'm glad you found what you were looking for!
Are you an Amazon influencer?
This is so helpful and thorough, thank you! Just got approved yesterday and will submit my first 2 videos today, wish me luck :)
This was a really helpful video. Especially because of the fact that you shared your videos at the end. They were so authentic and personable. It gave me confidence that I can do it too
I love to hear it! Thank you so much. Wishing you much success in the program!
I just got approved❤
It is really hard to make sense of what the approval process for the three videos is. I went through the process and passed on my first try. Unlike some other advice I heard, I actually had about 12 videos uploaded and it didn't matter. I still got approved. My friend also got the initial approval, but her first batch of videos were not approved. It didn't make any sense to me because her videos are actually better than mine. The only thing we think it might be is video quality. The comment from Amazon said that it didn't meet their video quality standards, but it definitely met all of the guidelines, so we think it might have been actual video quality. We both used our front facing phone cameras to record, but mine is on a Galaxy S22 Ultra, so the front facing camera is 40 MP. She used her iPhone front camera, and I think it has 10 or 12 MP camera. After reading someone else's response to getting in, we also did a few more updates on her storefront, but we aren't sure if that will make an impact. Amazon said in the comment that she should delete all of her videos and upload three new videos. So she re-recorded them using the back camera, which is much higher quality. Crossing our fingers and hoping for the best this time. It was such a heartbreak to see that denial. Amazon also said they limit the cumulative reviews for one influencer to three times. So there's a lot of pressure to get it right this time.
I so hope your friend made it in this time, any update yet?
@@jakemoore6891 she made a video about it and her friend got accepted
@@DeenofAllahswt Outstanding, thanks for letting me know!
thanks for sharing
I’ve heard from several that Amazon wants to see the product in its natural use. If you’re just sitting at a table and describing its pros it’s not necessarily being shown in use. For example, I would like to review my cooling fan designed for electronics. Shouldn’t it be shown actually doing its job? Or B roll it? Seems that just handling the product in front of the camera isn’t enough. Of course, what do I know? I’ve been rejected twice, and I have no idea why. I completely changed the style from the first set to the second by increasing their technical and content quality. Thanks for your informative videos!
some says not to say about specification at all. Not sure if you did on the rejected ones.
I wish I had seen this video last week
Thank you so much. You’re such a big help, and the videos are so easy to follow ❤️👏🥰
Awe! Thank you so much! I really appreciate it! I'm glad they can help you!
I got approved today too !!!!
I made 3 video and got approved in 3 day ( I made 1 by 1 video) and wait for 3 day for onside commission appoved
I am so excited now
and What I have to do next? I just make video review and upload them on my storefront,right?
Thank you so much for this. You made me feel comfortable!
This is so helpful, really great info. Thanks for sharing
No problem! Glad I could help!
Hi Mercedes, your videos are really helpful and inspiring. Thanks a lot however I can't find the blue lock you mentioned in your videos. Where can I see it and how do I know if I have completed 3 qualifying sales? Also when i should start submitting the first 3 videos ? Thanks again
Should the videos be submitted in 1080 or 4k? Thanks! :)
Ok question: If I want to post a link on my TH-cam Channel in a video description that leads people to my Amazon Store Front. Do I use in Site Stripe the store ID for the Affiliate program or the ID for the Influencer program. For some reason I see in my affiliates reporting data I had last 30 days 36k clicks but no sales. So, I want to make sure I am doing the linking correctly. Now in my TH-cam videos if say I list an individual product I go to Amazon and use in Site Strip the affiliate link. Thank You.
Best advice I heard on this topic
Thank you so much, your videos are fantastic. So helpful, so full of great information
Awe no problem at all! I'm glad you are finding my videos helpful! That is my goal!
Yeah. I haven't been approved for onsite commissions. I've demonstrated the product and how it works and got rejected twice. I used great lighting, my pro voice over echo free environment and still got rejected. It's not only disappointing but sad that Amazon doesn't give a damn about any feedback whatsoever. I've chatted with the Amazon influencer program customer service and they gave me 3 email addresses and asked me to wait 7 working days. Today after 24 working days nobody sent me anything. It's a headache.
Same here. I followed all the guidelines and still got denied twice. I’m terrified to try again.
@@goldengyrl333same here
You are using their Trademark "Amazon" in your channel, that is against their rules
@TheShuwanna how to you even know your videos got rejected or not?I mean, for the second try. The warning updates saying they haven't accepted your second attempt?or keeps the same warning?

Thanks so much for this info, I'm hoping to give this a shot any maybe get approved. I really enjoy the last part where you showed your 3 videos that got approved. Do you know of any site I can check out to see more videos of others who got approved? .... I also subscribed, you will hit the 1K subs soon! Enjoy!!!
Another quick question: If I post my amazon storefront link on say any site any where. And someone clicks on it there then goes to my store on amazon, then from my store goes somewhere else on amazon and buys something within 24 hours I get that credit or commission off that sale if qualified? I do have a store front and are an Influencer with onsite commissions.
Another great video. Thank you 🙏
No problem at all! Thank you for the support!
I appreciate your video. I don’t think that Amazon is getting more strict now to get people approved for the onsite commissions or most known as removing the blue lock because if that was the case you wouldn’t see so many sloppy and ugly videos on Amazon products. Every time I see them I wonder how the hell they got approved.
Thanks for sharing, very helpful.👍
I’m apart of the program, I just uploaded 3 videos that are published but the earnings to make onsite commission is still locked. Anything I can do?
I'm having this problem too
How do you title them and where do you submit them or does Amazon screens them off TH-cam?
You have to Upload them on your influencer Storefront or Amazon Creator Hub. The title could be anything under 60 characters.
Hi love your content new subscriber...question can we do these amazon videos in vertical mode and also can we do them in Spanish?
Hi! Thank you so much for the support! Yes, you may make your videos vertical. As far as making your videos in Spanish, unfortunately you can't right now. You can possibly add spanish subtitiles but you have to speak in english I believe.
@@mercedesgomeznow thanks for replying really appreciate it. I just commented on another video of yours and asked the Spanish question again lol disregard. I won't delete the comment cause I really mean what I said before the question ♥️♥️♥️
Do I specifically need to buy the products from Amazon to review or I can buy from other sources
You can buy the products from anywhere as long as the item is found on Amazon.
@@mercedesgomeznow thanks
My first attempt at the three videos just got denied. Going to watch this and try again!
How was it?
@@marinelleembroidery I was just approved this morning! Very excited to get this new venture going! Thanks!
@@santanaserpents congratulations! My first attempt was denied yesterday so today I made work on mistakes and recorded new videos today so fingers crossed 🤞🏻🥹
What did you do to change
@@santanaserpents what did you do differently that got you approved? I've been denied twice now
Should I be in the vids or should I do a faceless vid focusing on the product?
For your first 3 videos to get approved, I ould recommend being in the video and showing your face. After you are approved, its completely up to you ho you would like to proceed.
@@mercedesgomeznow thank you!!!
Do you have insight on the Amazon Associates program? I am currently in it and looking for more information and education on how best to navigate it! 😅
Does it need to be in landscape??
Did you ever find the answer to this? I’m struggling with finding info on it!
tell me please should I have Amazon Prime in order to be accepted into the Amazon Influencer program?
Hi! No, you don't need Amazon Prime to be accepted into the program.
@@mercedesgomeznow thank you
Of course! @@damy_zarg
Watching your 1st 3 videos and I’m surprised the tea one got approved. I would assume it wouldn’t because you are making promises about customers liking the tea & giving lots of personal opinions.
Do you have to talk on the video? I want to use my Reels. Also, do you know how to upload in highest quality if you don’t have high speed internet?
Funny I just submit applied with Amazon affiliates today and I just one video across social media lol I hope gets approved
Hi I loved your video, great help. I did my first three but forgot some of the things you mentioned not to do, like NO medical advice and I started talking about this is safe or not, anyways they rejected two of the three videos, they didn't turned me down on my second chance submitting videos but they rejected two. So, Does that mean I can fix those same videos, remove the medical advice part and upload the same one updated video again?
I dont even see a lock anywhere on my storefront whether its locked or unlocked. So, what does thos mean?
Same with me and I asked many people in differentvideos I watched but no one replied 😢
Do we have to mention Amazon in the review?
No, you don't have to.
Great video! Just curious, you have a Nike sneaker with their brand logo in the background of your first video. I thought that would be a RED flag to Amazon. But you got approved, so perhaps not??
Thank you! Yeah, I guess it's okay since it's just in the background. I haven't had any issues with it.
Are you supposed to upload only 3 videos?
Hi! Yes, when you are first starting you'll want to upload only 3 videos. Amazon will review your 3 videos and after a few weeks you will see a notification if your commission lock was removed or not. Once your lock is removed, then you'll want to post as much videos as possible. Amazon basically has to approve 3 videos first if you want to make commission.
Can Amazon associates sign up for this as well? Or only the influencer program?
Hi Thank you it's help me a lot . I love all of the trips your provided . The question, Is the background auido no copyright Or when Reviewing the Speaker I need to open part of music, it's Allowed or not?
Of course! I'm glad I could help. You can use non copyrighted music in the background if you really want to. It should be fine if you are trying to review a speaker and you play a few seconds of a song.
QUESTION: Do you submit 1 video, then wait for approval, then submit number 2 video then wait for approval, then submit video 3? I am still confused. Thank you.
You submit all 3. They’ll review them. You either get accepted or denied. You then delete those 3 videos and upload another batch of 3 to either get approved or denied. If denied, your next batch of 3 is your last chance. 3 tries in total.
Did they change the process now? I literally can’t even find where the blue lock is, after watching numerous videos. I think they changed the pages around.
Hi I.have the same.problem here. I am trying from amazon UK. Is my location the issue?
How do you get approved for the program in the first place? Did you take a course or? Thank you!
Hi, thanks for the tips! Can we upload & do everything from our phones or do we need to have a laptop/computer?
Did you get any answers please 🙏 would you share with me the information
@yoonji1369 I upload & do almost everything with my phone, it's good to have both though (if possible) because the laptop version shows differently than the phone version sometimes.
Thank you so so muchhh ❤
This clip is very helpful thank you. If I can't speak english not smooth I can speak my language? and make English sub title on video?
and I can use png file for insert in the video when I'm explain?
Thank you.
Yes, you can put subtitles on your videos!
Can I ask what recording device you are using for video and audio?
Got a question.
So let’s say I have videos uploaded and they stay on the product page for about 1 month maybe 2 after they don’t show up there should I or could I re upload them to get them back there? And if I re upload should I delete the old video so it doesn’t clutter my storefront with repeated videos?
This is a debatable question. I don't think there is a right or wrong answer. In my opinion, I never delete videos because I never know if they will rotate back on product pages or not. If you see that you are kicked off a particular product and you want to get back on the product page, I would suggest making a different video and submitting that. That way, you could potentially have multiple videos on the page in the future and they are different videos.
Where do we apply? I am already approved as an Amazon influencer but I’ve never heard about submitting videos for commission through the reviews or the blue lock. Can someone let me know where to apply?
I had been approved the program 4 weeks go but I couldn't see any blue lock on my storefront also I am not sure if i should submit the 3 videos now or wait for a confirmation of 3 qualifying sales but how do i know if i have completed the 3 sales or not. I can see I had 5 orders dispatched but are they qualifying sales or not. When I should start submitting my videos and where? If you found the information can you please share with me ❤
Thanks for the video.
I got approved for the program but I can’t find onsite commission anywhere. Maybe it’s not available in germany?
Do we need to make 3 videos right away? Or make 1, and if it’s approved, make the next? What if we make all 3 at once and all 3 get denied? Is that my only 3 chances? Lol
what type of camera do you use?
Last night I got approved. I have not even gotten educated that far and check yet because they sent me an email to do an application for taxes and start getting paid. 😅
Hi, thank you for your tips. I noticed that there were health recommendations in your first video. Something like: if you're sick, please
drink this, you'll feel better, I promise." I'm confused as if that'd be considered a violation, clearly not since you've been approved. But I'd like some more info on what you can discuss regarding health. For context, I'm a physical therapist and health/pain is something that I would line to address, but am afraid my video was denied, because it touched on that, it was on competitive products, or because it was 5 min long... "
You are an Amazon influencer?
@@sabasajid6810 now I am!!
Any Idea How long is Amazon taking to approve your 3 videos these days?
It's just about 2-3 business days now.
I have a question, should I delete all of my video that already on published and upload 3 new video to submit for unlock earned onsite commission. but I already got offsite revenue from video that I was uploading on my storefront.
So my 3 videos got approved and published but I haven’t gotten the check that I am eligible for commission, so I’m confused now how this works? Will I be eligible for commission once my 3 videos start having a certain amount of views or purchase from it? Please someone explain! Thank you.
How is telling people to drink so they will not get sick is not medical advice? They refused one of my pool heater review as medical advice which doesn't make any sense since i didn't talk anything beside how fast it heats the pool water and you are telling how tbe tea going to make them feel better 😳
Feeling discouraged because i just got approved on monday and uploaded my 3 vids this tuesday the 25th. I believe they got approved even tho i never got the congratulations notification, the blue bar and lock have disappeared from my page so i’m assuming i’ve been approved for commissions.. anyway it’s the 29th now and i haven’t made a single sale 😢 also none of my videos are being shown on the product page. I toggled the store name like you said to do and i have about 30 clicks but no orders. Any advice? thanks for your help ❤️
Don't get discouraged. It took me about a week to see my first commission come in. In the beginning it takes a little longer for your videos to start showing up on product pages. Keep uploading videos consistently and you will eventually see some results. Some people see results quick and others it takes time. You can't compare yourself to others. Just keep going and it will pay off.
thank u so much ❤️
Hi. It's been 2 months, so I was just wonder if you have seen any sales yet?
I never had a lock on mine. Anyone else?
That's awesome!
I don’t have a lock on mine either I just need to start doing videos
I uploaded my first 3 videos and they show published after 24 hours. How do I know if they are still being reviewed to be approved for onsite commission?
Where do you see the blue lock? I just uploaded my first 3 videos. Trying to figure out the next step in the process
Have you found the blue lock ? Are you applying from uk or us? Can you share the information please
Can i do the videos sometimes in spanish and sometimes english?
this was so helpful thank you! quick question! i've been an amazon influencer for over a year now and my blue lock is still on -- it's telling me I need to delete all my videos and try again to get approve... should I do this?
Glad you liked the video! Oh wow. Unfortunately you might have to. You must've not known about getting the blue lock removed before you posted all your videos. To get the lock removed you can only post 3 videos and wait until they get approved for on site commissions. If you want to make commissions with your videos then you would have to delete them all and get the lock off.
@@mercedesgomeznow thank you so much for the response! That is so sad but I think I will try it! Thank you ❤️
So I submitted the 3 videos and 1 video was rejected and submitted another video and it was published.. so these videos have to be reviewed again for the lock to come off ??
The only thing that bothers me is that I don’t want to show my face in any of the videos, not even the first 3 videos. I want to remain faceless from beginning to end.
You can certainly give it a try faceless and see what happens.
I was super excited to sign up, but I see you now need 20k followers....is there anyway to get around this?
Is that what they are saying now? I haven't heard that. I've seen people with all amounts of followers get approved. I would try all your social media accounts and if they don't work, try growing one to at least 1,000 or 2,000 and try apply again.
I just got approved earlier today. I don't have nowhere near 20K followers. I applied with youtube. 2k subs.
Help please! I got approved for Amazon Associates program but not accepted for Influencer program maybe because my IG account is empty.. tried to link to my FB group and got auto rejection and then tried my teens TH-cam channel which is monetized and has a great following and still got rejection why? And maybe I’m going about it incorrectly is there a spot to submit 3 videos first then apply to the influencer program
I have been accepted but I see no blue lock anywhere….it just shows that I can create videos
I applied for the affiliate associate program and got signed up right away. Is that because I have a sellers account with amazon? They said I have to make 3 sales within 180 days to stay I’m the program. Nothing about videos. I just have to put links on my website. I’m not sure if I signed up right … any suggestions?
the affiliate associate program is different from the amazon influencer account that uses your social media account to approve. She has videos on applying for the influencer program.
Can u have words on the video saying the name of the product
I got my 3rd rejection and they weren’t even watched! 😢please tell if there is another way to get more chances I don’t understand why mine weren’t even watched or rejected the first 2 times.
I hear people say that. I'm not sure if that means that Amazon didn't watch your videos. Maybe when Amazon views videos it doesn't add to your view count. The only other way to get more chances would be to reapply into the amazon influencer program using a different social media account.
This me lol. 😂 been 2 weeks i hear it takes like 30 days
Do you think you need to show your face in the videos to be approved?
I would say yes. At least for the first 3 for approval. Once you are approved then you don't have to.
Once one video is accepted do we need to continue to get them all accepted???
All your videos will go through a short approval process. It normally takes about 1 day for amazon to approve every video you post. However, if you are just starting the program you have to get your first 3 videos approved to remove your commission lock. You don't have to do anything extra. Just submit your videos and it'll take anywhere from 1 week to a month to get the lock removed.
So I’m currently waiting to see if my three videos get approved. It’s been less than 48hrs, blue lock is still there, but one of my videos has two thumbs up. How is this possible? I haven’t put my storefront link anywhere yet and my videos aren’t on product pages(I checked). Any insight on this?
Did you ever find out about this? I still have the blue lock, but it is also showing six views. I’m not sure how I have views if I haven’t been approved yet.
@@flippedoutmom No Clue, But I was approved for on site commissions shortly after I posted this. Hope It's the same for you!
Thank you so much. I got approved into the program today and got confused.
I couldn't find anywhere to submit the 3 videos for the test! It says If I'm already in the program, I'm automatically eligible for the onsite commission. It says just upload videos and AMZ might pick it to be featured. Anything wrong here?
I applied with my existing account on my phone.
Mine said the same and I’ve been just creating videos🤦🏽♀️ I didn’t know there was even a such thing as 3 videos but when I logged in on my laptop to edit a video cover photo a message came up telling me my 3 videos didn’t qualify and to delete everything sad part is I’ve already uploaded 6 videos and it says I’ve already earned on-site revenue with two things shipped and I don’t even know what for.
@@QueenLaporschaomgggg mines too! But, mines says 4 orders but 2 shipped… Did you ever figure out the problem?
@@QueenB.. no I never figured it out but I definitely was accepted in the program because I make money onsite and offsite since then. So keep making videos 🙌🏽
How long should the videos be?
Hey! I would say anywhere from around 30 seconds to 1:30.
plz give me 3 best videos for amazon influenecer program
I feel so discouraged. All 3 of my videos were approved and published the next day after submitting. But then a week later, all of them were declined for on-site commissions with no explanation to why. 😟
Same problem
Same
Heyy There !! How Can I Contact You ? I Have A Question
Exact same problem. It’s like they are turning people away on purpose for no reason. It’s an awful feeling watching other people make money and get left behind and you don’t even know why.
Do you benefit more when posting these videos to your Amazon storefront or by uploading these videos as reviews on product pages??
Can you say:'' in my opinion'' in your review? I like to give my genuine opinion about the products.
I believe you can.
@@mercedesgomeznow Thanks!
I really want to be faceless
I don't want to show my face just the products
Do you have any sort of Facebook group or discord community to help eachother out? I’m on my third try and just want some feedback before uploading them
I don't. Follow or DM me on instagram @mercedesgomeznow and I can help!
@@mercedesgomeznow I just DM'd you a question on this video. Please help! Thank you.
