Can people really make a living doing Amazon Influencer?

Is this worth it? Can people make a living?
Quick Answer
Yes! But not likely at this stage, and anyone who tells you otherwise is selling something. Commissions start small and grow with your library. The people making a living at this filmed a lot, picked products intentionally, and didn’t quit at 50 videos when nothing happened yet.

A: Yes! But not likely at this stage, and anyone who tells you otherwise is selling something. Right now you’re building the foundation. Commissions start small and grow with your library.
I’ve heard Data Coach Claire say most people at 100 videos are making $1 to $2 a day. At 500 to 1,000 videos with good product selection, that number looks very different. There are creators consistently earning $5,000 to $10,000 a month and beyond. It’s not a lottery. It’s a volume and strategy game.

About Barb | Founder of Storefront Launch
Barb was working with brands before “content creator” was a job title.
Back in 2008, she helped develop branded Twitter parties: live, hashtag-based conversations that brought companies and consumers together. She helped turn those conversations into something brands could buy, then spent years pitching campaigns, recruiting paid bloggers, organizing events, and teaching other women how to use social media for business.
She was part of the original wave of “mommy bloggers” (because apparently women building successful online businesses needed a cute little nickname). Her work included brand ambassador roles with Disney, Kraft, Verizon, and GMC.
Today, Barb brings that experience—and a master’s degree in education—to Storefront Launch. She helps women make sense of Amazon Influencer, Walmart Creator, and affiliate marketing, with practical ways to earn from the content they’re already creating. Less hype. More “okay, here’s how you actually do it.” Because, to loosely quote Lin-Manuel Miranda, she was “in the room where it happen(ed).”
