How I'm Applying to the Amazon Influencer Program
The application is the gate. Here's the order I'm using so I don't stall on a form.
You cannot earn onsite commissions until Amazon says yes. I’m applying with a clean business identity (LLC, EIN, MegaMentum email) so the account matches the rest of the setup. If you’re still mixing a personal Gmail and a leftover SSN, stop and fix that first. The LLC walkthrough is the order I used.
What I’m actually submitting
Amazon wants a public presence they can look at. I’m pointing them at this site, not a throwaway social profile stuffed with other people’s photos. The homepage numbers start at zero on purpose. I’d rather they see an empty, honest storefront than a borrowed following.
Use the legal name and tax ID that match the LLC. If the form asks for socials, give them accounts you control. Do not invent a second brand for the application.
After the yes (or the wait)
Approval is not income. After they let you in, you still have to:
- Build the storefront under the business name.
- Upload videos that follow their rules (no price talk, no health claims, show the real product).
- Get a handful of those videos live before Creator Connections is even in the picture.
If they reject you, the next move is to tighten the public pages and apply again. I’m not paying a “we’ll get you approved” service. That pitch is the same family as the $30k email.
What I’ll post here
When the application status changes, it goes on this site: approved, waitlisted, or told to come back later. Same rule as the money numbers. If it’s zero, it stays zero until it isn’t.
