How I Make More Money From Every Amazon Influencer Video

One of the biggest changes I’ve made with my Amazon Influencer content is that I stopped thinking of these as just Amazon videos.


Because think about it.


You already have the product.


You already recorded the footage.


You already created the script.


You already recorded the voiceover.


You already edited the video.


So after doing all of that work, why would you upload that video to one place and then basically forget about it?


That’s leaving a lot of potential distribution on the table.


What I’ve been trying to do instead is turn every product video I create into an asset that can potentially work for me across multiple platforms.


Amazon is obviously the first place.


But depending on the product, I can potentially distribute versions of that same content across TikTok, Instagram, Pinterest, YouTube, Facebook, and even my own website.


And every platform gives me another opportunity to generate views, clicks, and potentially commissions.


So here’s how I currently think about distributing and monetizing every product video I create.


1. Amazon Influencer Program


The first place I’m uploading these videos is obviously Amazon through the Amazon Influencer Program.


This is what the videos are primarily being created for.


Someone is already on Amazon looking at a product.


They’re probably trying to decide whether they should buy it.


My goal is simply to create a useful video that helps them understand what they’re looking at.


What does the product actually look like?


How does it work?


What are the important features?


What might someone want to know before purchasing it?


And if my content helps drive qualifying purchases, I have the opportunity to earn commissions through the Amazon Influencer Program.


So Amazon is basically the foundation of this entire strategy.


But once that video has been created, I don’t want its life to end there.


That’s when I start checking the other platforms.


2. TikTok Shop Affiliate


The next place I check is TikTok Shop.


And I say check because not every product I’m reviewing on Amazon is necessarily available through TikTok Shop.


So before doing anything, I search for the product.


If it’s available and I’m eligible to promote it as an affiliate, now I potentially have another opportunity to monetize content around that same product.


TikTok Shop allows eligible affiliate creators to promote qualifying products through shoppable content and earn commissions from resulting sales.


And this is where having a library of product content becomes really useful.


I may already have:


  • The footage

  • The script

  • The voiceover

  • The finished video


So instead of approaching TikTok and asking:


“What new video can I create today?”


I’m also asking:


“Which products have I already created content for that I can legitimately promote here?”


Obviously, I still need to make sure the content fits TikTok and follows the platform’s current rules.


But assuming everything lines up, that’s another potential commission opportunity from an asset I’ve already created.


3. Instagram


The third platform is Instagram.


My strategy here is a little bit different.


I’m not necessarily relying on someone clicking a link directly from the video.


Instead, I can use the video to generate engagement.


For example, I can post a Reel showcasing the product and include a call to action like:


“Comment ‘LINK’ and I’ll send you the product.”


Now someone who is actually interested in the product comments on the video.


That engagement can be valuable in itself because people are interacting with the content.


But more importantly, I now have someone specifically raising their hand and saying:


“I’m interested in this product.”


I can then send them the appropriate product link through DM.


I use Geniuslink as part of my affiliate linking and tracking workflow, so I can send the appropriate affiliate destination while following the applicable disclosure and platform requirements.


I really like this strategy because the content now has two jobs.


It’s generating engagement for the account, but it’s also creating an opportunity to drive affiliate clicks and potentially commissions.


Instead of simply posting a product video and hoping someone figures out where to buy it, I’m giving the viewer a specific next step.


4. Pinterest


The fourth platform is Pinterest.


And this is probably one of the easiest additions to my workflow because I use Viral Vue.


Viral Vue helps automate parts of my Pinterest distribution workflow, so this doesn’t necessarily mean I’m manually sitting there creating Pinterest posts for every single product.


And that’s exactly the type of opportunity I’m looking for.


If I’ve already created the content and I can add another distribution channel without adding a ton of manual work, that’s almost a no-brainer for me.


Pinterest is also interesting because I don’t necessarily look at it the same way I look at TikTok or Instagram.


A social post may get most of its attention shortly after you publish it.


Pinterest can function much more like a discovery or search platform.


That means there’s potential for product-related content to continue being discovered later.


That makes it especially interesting for evergreen products.


Again, the question I’m constantly asking is:


How many legitimate opportunities can I give this one piece of content to be discovered?


Pinterest gives me another one.


5. YouTube


Next is YouTube.


And this is another platform I really like for product content because YouTube has enormous search intent.


People literally go to YouTube and search things like:


  • “Is this product worth it?”

  • “[Product Name] review”

  • “How does this product work?”

  • “[Product Name] unboxing”

  • “[Product Name] demo”


They’re actively researching products they may be considering buying.


So I can take these product videos and publish them to YouTube with searchable titles and descriptions.


Then in the description, I can include the relevant affiliate link and the proper affiliate disclosure.


Now that video has another chance to generate commissions.


And YouTube can also be evergreen.


A video doesn’t necessarily have to explode in the first 24 hours to be valuable.


If someone searches for that product three months from now, six months from now, or even longer, that video can still be sitting there waiting for them.


That’s exactly the type of content asset I like.


You create it once, and it can potentially continue working for you afterward.


6. Facebook


The sixth place is my Facebook page.


This one is pretty straightforward.


If I already have the video, I can also publish appropriate versions of that product content on Facebook.


And again, I can include the relevant affiliate link and disclosure where appropriate.


Facebook gives the video another audience and another opportunity to generate clicks.


Will every single product video perform on Facebook?


Of course not.


But that’s not really the point.


I’m not expecting every video to go viral on every platform.


I’m increasing the number of chances each piece of content has to get discovered.

That’s a really important distinction.


If I upload one video to one platform, I have one distribution opportunity.


If I can intelligently distribute versions of that content across five or six platforms without multiplying my workload five or six times, the economics of creating that original video become a lot more interesting.


7. My Blog


And finally, there’s my own website or blog.


I put this one last because I don’t think everybody needs to immediately go build a blog just to implement this strategy.


If you’re starting from zero, I would focus on the easier distribution channels first.


But if you already have a website and a system for publishing content, this can become another long-term asset.


For example, you can take a product review and turn it into a written article.

You can embed the video.


You can include original commentary and relevant product information.


And you can potentially monetize that traffic with properly disclosed affiliate links.

There are two reasons I like this.


The first is obvious.


It’s another potential source of affiliate commissions.


But the second reason is that I’m building something I actually own.


I’m creating a library of product-related content on my own website.


And over time, that can also become valuable when I’m talking to brands.


Instead of saying:


“I can make you one Amazon video.”


I can show that I have an entire distribution system.


Potentially:


  • Amazon

  • TikTok

  • Instagram

  • Pinterest

  • YouTube

  • Facebook

  • My own website


That’s a much more interesting proposition when you’re eventually trying to build relationships with companies and negotiate brand deals.


The Bigger Strategy


This is really the main takeaway:


Stop thinking about a product video as a single upload.


Think about it as an asset.


You already spent the time or money to get the product.


You already created the footage.


You already created the script.


You already created the voiceover.


You already edited everything together.


That’s the expensive part.


Distribution is comparatively easy, especially once you start building systems and automations around it.


So my workflow becomes:


  1. Create the product content once.


  2. Upload it to Amazon.


  3. Check whether the product is available for me to promote through TikTok Shop.


  4. Create an Instagram version with a comment-to-DM call to action.


  5. Distribute it to Pinterest.


  6. Publish it on YouTube with the appropriate affiliate link.


  7. Put it on my Facebook page.


  8. Where it makes sense, turn it into content for my website.


Now one product can potentially generate views and commissions from multiple different places.


And importantly, I’m not saying you should blindly upload the exact same file everywhere without thinking about it.


Every platform is different.


The format can be different.


The audience can be different.


The affiliate rules can be different.


The disclosure requirements can be different.


So you still need to make sure you’re following the current rules for whatever platform you’re using.


But you don’t necessarily need to reinvent the content from scratch every single time.


Create Once, Distribute Everywhere


This is becoming a much bigger part of how I think about content in general.


I don’t necessarily need to create more and more from scratch.


Sometimes I just need to get more distribution out of what I’ve already created.


Imagine you create 100 product videos.


If those 100 videos only exist on Amazon, you have 100 content assets working for you on one platform.


But if you build systems that allow those assets to appropriately feed YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Pinterest, Facebook, and your website, you’ve dramatically expanded the number of places where your content can potentially be discovered.


That doesn’t guarantee you’re going to make more money.


But you’re giving each piece of content more opportunities to work for you.


And that’s what I’m trying to build.


Not just an Amazon Influencer business.


A product-content system where I can create an asset once, distribute it intelligently, and give that asset multiple opportunities to generate revenue over time.


Final Thoughts


If you’re already creating product videos for the Amazon Influencer Program, go look through the videos you’ve already made.


You might be sitting on a massive library of content that you’ve only monetized in one place.


The next opportunity might not be creating another video.


It might simply be getting more mileage out of the videos you’ve already created.


Create once.


Distribute intelligently.


Monetize repeatedly.
