December 13, 2023Side Hustle Heroes HQ Podcast #29: Why is UGC so important and what that means for AIP
Welcome to Side Hustle Heroes HQ podcast #29!
Just a reminder that we have a new Amazon Influencers course coming out in January. Sign up at the link below to be notified when it goes live or text INFLUENCER to 507-800-0090 to receive a text, when this training goes live.
https://provenazinfluencer.com/
Show notes:
User generated content (UGC) continues to become more and more important for companies. Stats show consumers trust UGC more than brand content.

That likely means AIP isn't going anywhere anytime soon!

TikTok has a new program where companies put up bounties for users to create authentic reviews/ads. Users can make $30-50 per video. Great opportunity.

Walmart has an influencer program now too. Likely only a matter of time before they add video reviews to product pages like Amazon.

Reminder to make sure you are looking at the right account dashboard on Amazon to track your earnings - some people accidentally look at the regular Associates account instead of the Influencer account.

Jim is now getting paid directly by some suppliers to create Amazon review videos, up to $20 per video. Very profitable when you can create videos quickly.

Show notes:
Cody Interview Summary:
Cody has gotten about 150 products to review from 3 main suppliers that actively send him new products weekly

He sets goals to review a certain number of products per month (got over 200 videos in November)

Staying organized with spreadsheets helps keep track of all the products coming in

Some suppliers have started paying him around $10 per video review
Other discussion items:
Leveraging help/delegation is key rather than trying to do everything yourself

Jim Ed gave an example from his welding side business where he was struggling to keep up with demand solo, but made almost $3k in a day utilizing two helpers

Andrew discussed how he's delegated much of his Amazon FBA work so he can focus on growth opportunities

They suggest thinking creatively about who else could potentially help with reviews - roommates, family members, employees, etc.
