46min - Number 3: May Amazon Changes: Creator Connections, UGC Growth, and the New Creator Pivot with Mike Dancy
In this episode, Mike and Ben break down May as the first full month after the latest Amazon changes and are joined by guest Mike Dancy to talk through what the shift is looking like in real time. Ben shares how May ended up being a volatile month, falling from an early projection of around $12K to closer to $10K, while Mike talks through how he still expects to land around $11K for the month despite dealing with two hospitalizations and serious health issues. A big part of the conversation centers around why higher-quality, more intentional videos are becoming even more important as the program continues to shift. Guest Mike Dancy shares how his Amazon earnings dropped significantly despite having hundreds of videos live, while his UK, Canada, and Australia storefronts improved and his off-site efforts continued to create opportunities. He explains how he is using YouTube and other social platforms to drive traffic, build UGC income, and create new brand relationships outside of relying only on Amazon. The episode also covers UGC pricing, finding clients, niche advantages, tools like Wovo, comparison videos, search-based content, Creator Connections, and why creators need to diversify income beyond Amazon if they want more stability going forward. If you are an Amazon Influencer, content creator, or product reviewer trying to understand the latest changes, grow off-site, and build a more durable creator business, this episode is packed with real-world strategy and perspective. ____________________ JOIN THE COMMUNITY If you are looking for deeper strategy, accountability, & honest conversations with other serious content creators, the Creator’s Leverage Guild was built for exactly that Learn more and join here: Creator’s Leverage Guild _____________________ CHECK OUT OUR 2 NEW EBOOKS THAT JUST LAUNCHED!

Take Nicole's Amazon Influencer Starter Course for $28!!! (Affiliate Link)_________________________ In this episode, Mike & Ben welcome Nicole Vincent to the Creators Leverage Guild podcast & dive into her journey growing inside the Amazon Influencer Program. Nicole shares how she went from being a stay-at-home mom with a background in network marketing to building income through Amazon Influencer after getting started in early 2024. The conversation covers what helped her gain traction early, how her strategy has evolved, & what small improvements have made the biggest difference over time. Mike, Ben, & Nicole talk through the importance of improving video quality without overcomplicating the process, including simple editing upgrades, better filming tools, slightly slowing video speed, & creating more detailed product reviews that hold attention longer.

A big part of this episode focuses on YouTube repurposing, why YouTube needs a different strategy than Amazon onsite, & how SEO, titles, keywords, & analytics matter far more than just mass uploading videos. Nicole also shares her mindset around playing the long game & using YouTube as a long-term traffic source. The conversation also touches on recent Amazon program changes, why creators need to stay adaptable, & why focusing less on reporting and more on creating may be the better move right now.

54min - Number 5: Amazon Influencer Rate Cuts Hit Hard : Why It’s Time to Think Like a Creator
In this episode, Mike & Ben break down Amazon’s major onsite rate cuts and talk through what creators should really be focusing on next. With most categories dropping around 1% and some products now paying under 1%, this is one of the biggest changes the Amazon Influencer Program has seen in years. Mike and Ben explain what this means for onsite-only creators, why Creator Connections and offsite income matter more than ever, and why this may be the moment many influencers need to start thinking more like full content creators. The conversation covers how Creator Connections can help offset lower onsite commissions, why products with active campaigns are becoming more important, and why YouTube is looking like one of the strongest long-term plays moving forward. They also talk through other offsite options like Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, blogging, UGC, and brand deals, while emphasizing the importance of building a more durable business beyond Amazon onsite alone. Mike and Ben also share practical ways to adapt, including doing deeper product research, creating more strategic comparison and top-10 style content, planning ahead for seasonality, and getting more value out of every product by making multiple pieces of content before reselling or moving on. If you are in the Amazon Influencer Program and trying to figure out how to respond to the new rate cuts, this episode is all about the pivot: from thinking like an influencer to building like a creator. ____________________ JOIN THE COMMUNITY If you are looking for deeper strategy, accountability, & honest conversations with other serious content creators, the Creator’s Leverage Guild was built for exactly that Learn more and join here: Creator’s Leverage Guild _____________________ CHECK OUT OUR 2 NEW EBOOKS THAT JUST LAUNCHED!
