Start your YouTube channel this week
Quick Answer
Yes, and if you are at this stage it is time. You are already filming product reviews, which means you already have the content. Those same videos you are uploading to Amazon can live on YouTube and drive traffic back to your storefront, and over time they start stacking ad revenue right on top of your commissions.
A: Yes, and if you are at this stage it is time.
You are already filming product reviews, which means you already have the content. The only thing you are not doing yet is putting it somewhere that builds for you offsite. Those same videos you are uploading to Amazon can live on YouTube and drive traffic back to your storefront, and over time they start stacking ad revenue right on top of your commissions.
The creators who are earning real money in this program figured out a while ago that the content they were already making could do a lot more work. If you have been at this for a while, it’s time to start building offsite.

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).”
