A: Go to Amazon Influencer and click Sign Up. Connect one of your social media accounts - Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, or Facebook. Use your most active and engaged account. Rumor is that Amazon has been approving a lot of TikTok accounts. Amazon will review it and respond within a few days. If approved, you get a storefront but you’re not earning onsite commissions yet. That requires submitting your first 3 videos for a separate review. After you get the approval email you have completed step one. What you really need to earn onsite commission is step 2 - getting that blue lock off your storefront.
Action:
-
Apply to the Influencer Program.
-
While waiting for your account to get the initial approval start planning what products you will be filming for your first three videos.

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).”
