I posted some videos to youtube and then later uploaded them to my influencer account. trying to get them linked in the reverse direction of what you did here. i will give it a try.
Kathleen, thanks for all the great info! I was wondering if you edit your Amazon product videos before you post on TH-cam? I'm considering starting a YT channel for my product videos but don't want to violate Amazon's terms. My understanding is that once Amazon posts our shoppable videos to product pages, the videos now belong to Amazon and to post those exact videos on another platform is copyright infringement. Can you shed any light on this?
Hi Kathleen! I'm a big fan and subscriber-love your videos and have seen most of them. Quick question about the Amazon Influencer Program: Can sellers or manufacturers see which influencer is selling their products? I know you're busy, so if you can't answer, maybe someone else can help. Thanks!
Thank you for your kind words! Sellers can see what influencer videos are on Amazon but do you mean if an influencer were to become and seller, too? In that case, all seller information is pretty easily accessible on Amazon and a seller can see if other sellers are selling their products on their same product listing. Hope that helps!
@@kathleenkobel Thanks for getting back to me. Let me ask my question this way: For years, I've been directing my TH-cam viewers to my Amazon affiliate store, where I’ve sold a lot of one specific product. Now that I’m a new influencer, I’m wondering if the seller of that product can see my referrals and sales. This information would help me when negotiating a dedicated video with them. Mike
You are naturally gorgeous, and, of course, very intelligent. Is there any chance you are using a filter software on this video? Would you use filter software on Amazon shoppable videos? Is it allowed, is maybe a better question? And, I WILL be signing up for Geniuslink. It's the smart thing to do!
Hmmm, not sure how to pull from your storefront (I’m sure there is a software that can do it) but what I do is upload the videos to a Google drive folder and then my VA uploads those to TH-cam for me. Sometimes he edits videos for Amz for me first and that cuts out a few steps for me, too. 🙌
Not sure if you meant a more automated way but if you go to creator hub, then click the ‘manage’ button on each video, then the video opens, click the three dots and click download. It takes a long time to do individually but yes it’s possible!
Do you upload the same Amazon Influencer Videos you created in your other storefronts in different countries such as the UK or Canada? or do you product videos have to be different for on site comission?
Hey @mnk3847, I can't answer the first question on behalf of Kathleen. But as to the second, the videos do not have to be different in order to be uploaded.
@@Geniuslink thank you for getting back to me! Do you mean reapply to the entire program? Or can we somehow just reapply to the offsite? I've qualified for offsite in the US. But I received notice recently that I was kicked out in Canada, and expect several other countries to come along soon (kicking me out). Those have barely paid anything, anyway. Would be great to see an international video showing what kinds of sales by comparison you've been getting. I keep wondering if there's an error on my international accounts. But I've checked everything including payment info-- and that all looks correct. So I basically just stopped posting on any of those accounts.
Btw I meant I was kicked out of I guess the associates (offsite) in Canada, and expect a few other counties soon. I'm still in the AIP for those places but they've paid next to nothing with most of the same videos uploaded!
@@refluxroadmap Do you mean banned or kicked out for no sales? there's a huge difference! Yes reapply to the entire program if you didn't hit 3 sales in 180 days. My guess is the videos you've uploaded for offsite are not receiving enough international traffic. If we assume Amazon has a 5% Conversion Rate, you'd need ~60 Link clicks per country. Keep in mind this is link clicks, and not views!
Thank you for the reply. I'm curious if i can use the vine items that i receive as video reviews for the influencer program? There is very little info anywhere on whether it's a do or don't. @kathleenkobel
Thank you for this very detailed video. Just created a YT channel, signed up for Genius link with your affiliate link and have uploaded 6 already!
Woo hoo! Way to take action!
Thanks so much, I am an Influencer in Canada and US so will take a look at Geniuslink! I will use your link to sign up :)

Amazing tips Kathleen! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for your kind words and for watching!

Wonderful to hear that - thank you!
Great video! Signed up! I am hopeful for more sales! Also in a video can you go over brand sponsorships?? Thank you! 🎉❤

You are too kind! Yes, this video has a filter but I don't use filters on the videos I upload to Amazon. :-)
Thanks for the great information. ❤
You are so welcome!
Is there a way for a VA to pull the videos from my storefront and repurpose to YT?
Hmmm, not sure how to pull from your storefront (I’m sure there is a software that can do it) but what I do is upload the videos to a Google drive folder and then my VA uploads those to TH-cam for me. Sometimes he edits videos for Amz for me first and that cuts out a few steps for me, too. 🙌

Thanks, I signed up with your link!
You rock! Thank you!
How do you create the stoppable video?
Signed up through your link
You rock! Thank you for your support! 🙏
Can this work fon vertical videos?
Yes! It works for any kind of videos. 👍
Can you create a video showing the process of creating shoppable videos and uploading them on amazon?
Do you upload the same Amazon Influencer Videos you created in your other storefronts in different countries such as the UK or Canada? or do you product videos have to be different for on site comission?
Hey @mnk3847, I can't answer the first question on behalf of Kathleen. But as to the second, the videos do not have to be different in order to be uploaded.
Yes! You can upload the same videos to multiple international marketplaces on Amazon, just not the same video more than once in that same marketplace.
Hi Kathleen, Are your UK and Canada Amazon storefronts still recording clicks, purchases, and generating commissions (as of mid-Aug 2024)?
How about tap the link?
Also, which store ID do we link to our geniuslink? does it matter?
Is the Amazon program also available for europeans?
Yes it is! Amazon influencer is available in many European countries, too.
how do we link our genius link on the back end on Amazon so they know where the traffic is coming from?
or do we just need to link our TH-cam?
What link would you use if you don’t have Genius Link? Also, do you post the raw video?
Yes I do! And you can use the Amazon SiteStripe link instead if you want.
Thank you so much. do it work for your storefront? Do I add my Affiliate link to geniuslink for my storefront?
When using affiliate links - do we need to post the ones from the different Amazon sites for one product please?
Geniuslink helps route the customer to the best marketplace location. 👍
If we've already lost an international account bc of no sales, can we get it back in any way?
Absolutely, you can reapply and they'll look for those three sales in the 180 day window again.

Yes, you can reapply and get accepted again in order to get those 3 sales in another 180 day window. 👍
How would you post a link in the pinned comment?
I'm a Vine Voice member. I also have been approved for the Influencer program. Any advice?
Last I checked Amazon allowed you to do both. I'd check in with support again but I think you're good to participate in both programs.
Thank you for the reply. I'm curious if i can use the vine items that i receive as video reviews for the influencer program? There is very little info anywhere on whether it's a do or don't. @kathleenkobel
Hey! Do you still use this method?
Yes I sure do! 👍
Love this! I have another YT channel just for product reviews. I had a couple videos go viral and cha-Ching! Off-site sales.
Thanks for sharing!!
Congrats! Do you have a specific niche?
Whats your other YT channel name?
