  • Amazon Cut My Commissions 46% | Here's My New Strategy

    Amazon made some major changes recently, and instead of reacting right away, I took some time to really look at what’s happening.

    In this episode, I’m breaking down what I’ve personally seen since the April updates, including changes to reporting, commission rates, and how those shifts are actually impacting income. I also share what other top influencers are seeing and how this is affecting different types of content.

    More importantly, I walk through how I’m adjusting my strategy moving forward. From focusing on higher quality, longer-form videos to being more intentional with product selection and Creator Connections, this is about adapting with purpose instead of just doing more.

    If you’ve been feeling unsure about what to do next, this episode will help you get clear on where to focus and how to move forward in a smarter, more strategic way.

  • From Laid Off to $20K+ Months with Amazon Influencer Program | McKay C Interview

    What does it really take to go from getting laid off to making $20K+ months with the Amazon Influencer Program?


    In this interview, McKay shares how he built his income over time, what actually changed as the program got more competitive, and why his “YouTube-first” mindset is giving him an edge today.


    We talk about quality vs quantity, how long videos are outperforming short ones, and why most creators are missing the real opportunity in the upper carousel. He also shares how one product ended up paying him daily and how patience plays a bigger role than most people expect.


    If you’ve been wondering why your videos aren’t converting or how to stand out in a saturated space, this conversation will give you clarity and direction.


    This isn’t about shortcuts. It’s about building something that actually lasts.

The kind of content that keeps people watching, builds trust, and actually helps someone make a buying decision.Doug shares how he’s used years of YouTube analytics to develop a repeatable video formula, why watch time matters more than most people realize, and how small improvements in your videos can lead to better conversions across platforms.We also talk about how to think long-term in a program that continues to evolve, and why creators who are willing to adapt will continue to find opportunities.0:00 Amazon Influencer Commission Drop (What Happened)1:05 Initial Reactions to the Commission Cut2:20 Why Amazon Reduced Influencer Commissions4:05 Is the Amazon Influencer Program Still Worth It?5:30 How Creators Will Make Money Moving Forward6:50 Off-Site Income Challenges & Strategy Shift8:10 Doug’s YouTube Journey & Background9:40 The YouTube Analytics That Changed Everything11:20 Why Hooks Make or Break Your Videos12:50 Why Most Product Review Videos Fail14:20 The Video Formula That Increases Watch Time16:00 Why Product Demonstrations Drive Conversions17:20 Do You Still Need to Niche Down on YouTube?18:40 Building a Successful Off-Site Review Channel20:00 Inside the Review Business Academy Course21:20 Step-by-Step Video Creation Process22:40 Filming, Editing & SEO Workflow Explained24:00 Why Creators Struggle With Video Skills25:10 Learning Video Skills at Your Own Pace26:10 How Long It Takes to See Results27:10 Course Support, Community & Office Hours28:10 Tools That Speed Up Content Creation29:20 AI Tools for Hooks, Titles & SEO30:20 How to Optimize YouTube Uploads Faster31:10 Multiple Income Streams From One Video31:50 Final Thoughts & Course Launch Details--------------------------🌳All My Courses, Links, Socials & Resources Here: https://linktr.ee/nicolervincent🔵 Follow Me on Facebook: www.facebook.com/vintx🔥 Join my Influencer Skool group: https://www.skool.com/influencer-strategy-wnicole-v-2818💰Get my beginner course here: https://nicolervincent.mvsite.app/products/courses/view/1192313📧 Sign up for my newsletter here: https://forms.gle/6mZFsxmtX98zE1eK8Affiliate Links:🐷 Get the Google Chrome OINK Extension here: https://bit.ly/nrvOINKUse code NICOLE10 for 10% off the Pro Version 🍌 Get Fluencer Fruit here: https://bit.ly/NicoleFF(You get the lowest "friend" price with my link - no code needed)💰 Get Viral Vue here: https://viralvue.com/join?fpr=nicoleUse code NICOLE for 10% off any plan📈Data Coach Claire's Build Past $1K Course: https://stan.store/affiliates/d6211200-6069-4a37-9954-4a93c855ed42#AmazonInfluencer #YouTubeStrategy #ContentCreator #AffiliateMarketing #CreatorIncomeFTC Disclaimer: As an Amazon Influencer and affiliate for various websites and services, I may earn a commission on some products or services purchased through the links shared here.
