Method

Amazon launches the Influencer Program in 2017 as a branch of Associates giving approved social creators an amazon.com/shop storefront, shoppable video on product pages and Amazon Live access. Creators earn 1 to 20 percent commissions by category and onsite commissions when Amazon surfaces their videos, with reported earnings of 2,000 to 4,000 dollars a month from about 1,100 videos. Approval depends on engagement rather than a published follower minimum. Amazon closes the Inspire feed in February 2025 but keeps the program, and in 2026 it is the main rail for product review creators.
