Amazon Influencer earnings feeling weird lately? You’re not alone.

In this episode of The Storefront Strategy Podcast with Claire & Nicole, we’re talking honestly about Prime Day results, carousel instability, Creator Connections changes, international storefront merging, and what we’re doing as we head deeper into Q4.

Amazon still has real earning potential, but right now it feels harder to predict what’s going to work. So do you keep pushing the same strategy, adjust your approach, or start building additional income streams?

We talk about:

✨ Our very different Prime Day results

✨ Why Amazon Influencer earnings feel so volatile right now

✨ What’s happening with video carousel placement

✨ Whether Amazon’s carousel testing may finally be settling down

✨ International storefront merging and why we’re being cautious

✨ Whether now is the time to pause, push harder, or adapt

✨ Why Q4 is NOT necessarily the time to completely overhaul your strategy

✨ Shorter videos vs higher-effort content right now

✨ Why good content and product research should still matter long-term

✨ Exploring Walmart, Tribe, TikTok Shop, Facebook affiliate links, YouTube, and other opportunities

✨ Why spreading yourself across too many platforms can hurt your results

✨ The biggest question to ask before starting a new social media account

✨ Why problem-solving content is where social commerce is heading

One of the biggest takeaways from this conversation: your skills are transferable.

If you know how to create useful product videos, research products, build workflows, and help people make buying decisions, there are a LOT of ways to monetize those skills.

Amazon may be funky right now, but we’re definitely not jumping ship. We’re adapting.

How did Prime Day go for you? Did you see a big bump, barely any difference, or something in between?

✨ When to accept Creator Connections campaigns

✨ How to check if a campaign is full

✨ Why campaign budget matters

In this episode, we talk about:

✨ Why August earnings may be down

✨ Amazon carousel testing and video visibility

✨ How long it can take videos to start earning

✨ Creator Connections campaigns filling faster

✨ Why submitting links can help build brand relationships

✨ How to prep for Q4 with more video momentum

✨ Phone vs desktop uploads

✨ What our Amazon Influencer workflows look like

You got accepted into the Amazon Influencer Program… now what?

In this episode of The Storefront Strategy Podcast with Claire & Nicole, we’re breaking down the beginner basics that can trip people up after they get approved for onsite commissions.

We talk through the difference between onsite and offsite IDs, how Amazon Influencer payments work, why you need to add banking and tax information to both IDs, where your videos actually show up, what the upper and lower carousels are, and why not every video you upload will get views or earn commissions.

Prime Day is over, but the strategy lessons are just getting started.

In this episode of The Storefront Strategy Podcast, Claire and Nicole are breaking down what actually worked for Amazon Influencers during Prime Day, including real income numbers, international storefront wins, Q4 prep strategy, and the behind-the-scenes work that helped move the needle.

Nicole shares how international storefronts, especially Germany, played a huge role in her Prime Day earnings, plus a simple title-refresh strategy she uses before major shopping events. Claire shares what worked, what didn’t, and why she’s already looking ahead to Q4.

We also talk about the difference between being busy and being productive, how much time creators waste checking stats, when software is worth paying for, and why structured action matters more than binge-watching strategy content.

If you are an Amazon Influencer trying to grow your storefront income, prep for Q4, or figure out where to spend your time next, this episode is packed with practical strategy.

We’re back with another episode of The Storefront Strategy Podcast with Claire & Nicole, but this time we’re recording in person from the Viral View conference in Utah!

In this Amazon Influencer Q&A episode, we answer real questions from other influencers about product research, conversion rates, hiring a VA, running more than one storefront, choosing products to review, avoiding burnout, and the biggest mistakes we’ve made in the Amazon Influencer Program.

We talk about which product research metrics matter most, why sales volume and Creator Connections campaigns both matter, how carousel competition has changed, why conversion rate is not always the best metric to obsess over, and when it may be time to outsource parts of your workflow.

We also share honest thoughts on work boundaries, taking breaks, building better systems, and finding Amazon Influencer friends who understand the business.

If you are an Amazon Influencer trying to grow your storefront income, make smarter product choices, and build a more sustainable content workflow, this episode is packed with practical strategy.
