What if you could skip 90 days of trial-and-error and jump straight to what actually works on Amazon Influencer? Most people who start this program spend weeks making videos that never get seen, reviewing the wrong products, and leaving hundreds of dollars in bonus commissions on the table — simply because nobody told them the rules upfront.
Here's the reality: the Amazon Influencer Program has a learning curve that isn't documented anywhere obvious. There are hidden approval steps, strict content rules that can get your videos rejected, and a counterintuitive strategy for choosing which products to review. Without knowing these things, you'll grind through your first month earning maybe $70 — when you could be earning ten times that with the same effort pointed in the right direction.
Imagine instead opening your dashboard two months from now and seeing real commissions rolling in. You know exactly which products to review because you've run an order history scan. Your first three videos sailed through Amazon's manual review because you followed the format guidelines from day one. You're collecting bonus commissions through Creator Connections that most new influencers don't even know exist. That's not a fantasy — Greg Gottfried went from $70 in his first month to $1,400 in his second month once he figured out exactly what this checklist covers.
Greg is a content creator and online business educator who has been building income streams online for over a decade. He started the Amazon Influencer Program with zero insider knowledge, spent 90 days learning what works through real experience, and then laid it all out clearly so you don't have to repeat his mistakes. His advice is grounded in actual earnings data, not theory.
This PDF checklist turns everything Greg shared in that video into a clean, step-by-step action plan you can follow from day one. It covers how to get accepted, what your first three videos need to do, which products to prioritize, what you're not allowed to say or show, how payments work, how to find and accept Creator Connections campaigns, and how to use tools like Viral Vue to work smarter. Every step is specific, every note is pulled directly from real experience. Use this checklist to launch your Amazon Influencer account the right way and start building passive commission income without the costly detours.
Every checklist item comes with actionable notes to guide you — things like "Don't forget to do this before you start," "Avoid this common mistake," or "Set a reminder for 30 days out." Nothing vague, just clear next steps.
