Free guide, no fluff
Two lanes to Amazon income. Pick the one that fits you today.
Amazon pays creators in two very different ways. One rewards an engaged audience with review videos and onsite commissions. The other needs no audience at all, just deals worth sharing. Both are laid out here, step by step, for free.

Pick your lane
Two lanes. Choose the one you're actually ready for.
Both lanes pay you from Amazon. They just start in different places. Pick one and your full step-by-step walkthrough opens below.
Have an engaged audience?
Amazon Influencer
Earn commissions from review videos and a curated storefront that keeps working after you post it.
- You have a following on TikTok, IG, YouTube or Facebook
- You're willing to make short, honest product videos
- You want onsite commissions unlocked
Just getting started?
Amazon Associates
Share affiliate links to discounted deals. A Facebook group is one option, but not required. No following required, five minute application.
- No audience yet, or you were denied for Influencer
- You'd rather post deals than film videos
- You want the lowest barrier to your first commission
Not sure which lane?
Start with Associates if you don't have an engaged following yet, or if Amazon denied your Influencer application. It earns while you grow. Move to the Influencer lane once your engagement is strong enough to get approved. Plenty of creators run both at once.

Deep-linking
One link, every shopper
On mobile, a plain Amazon link opens in the phone's browser, where the shopper is often logged out and has to sign in again. Most give up right there. Deep-linking tools open the link straight in the Amazon app, where they're already logged in and one tap from checkout. Clearing that barrier saves sales.
Posttap
Creates mobile-friendly Amazon links that open directly in the Amazon app instead of the browser, so shoppers stay logged in and checkout faster.
Check it out →GeniusLink

Check it out →Stay compliant
Disclose every single time
Per FTC requirements, always disclose when an affiliate link is being used, for example #ad, #commissionsearned, or "affiliate links used."
