I'll keep this short and sweet and to the point. I really do appreciate you all being here in these early days, especially my active and committed members- none of this would be happening without you- there is nothing more motivating to talk than to have someone who is listening but I think I will be putting in some paid tiers to the more advanced and valuable content (like how to get free stuff...). If you want to keep getting all the goods for free all you have to do is get to level 3 by January 31st. Everyone who is level 3 by January 1st will be given access to tier 2 for 3 months for free. Currently this group is free- and parts of it will always remain free BUT the further I get into this journey the more I am realizing a few things... first off people do not value free things. I think it is safe to assume with 175 members, many have joined and never been back. Now- Amazon is not going anywhere so no- there it's a huge rush BUT if we are going to Costa Rica on our Black Friday earnings this year yall need to get to work lol. Another perk to being here so early is you have some say in this and I would love your feedback. So here's what I currently have in mind. Tier 1- Free Forever - How to get into the AIP, approved for onsite commissions and alllll the information on the extensions. I am currently building a stupid simple guide for Oink and Viral Vue so when you have questions you can come here and find the video for the feature you're struggling with instead of messing around on youtube. As always, I like to keep things stupid simple for you guys. Tier 2- Will include basically the rest of the classroom I think. Repurposing, Youtube, other influencer programs, free products- all the fun stuff that takes this from a hobby income to a replace your 9-5 kind of thing. $7ish a month Tier 3- Will be personalize support- possibly including "A stupid simple way in- which is my done for you influencer approval service where I can either do it for you or just hold your hand with specific instructions, content, approval videos, the whole shabam- while you do the button clicking... still playing around with this idea and the exact structure. My service might continue to be a separate added cost. this will probably be between 37 and 97 a month (97 would include the service which wouldn't be more than a 1 month thing typically). I have already gotten 3 influencer accounts approved this year 🤑

After downloading the Oink extension, I joined the Oink for Influencers Facebook group and have seen a few posts about people posting their review videos straight to YouTube as well. It seems like it takes a while for the channel to get monetized (I had a monetized video on YouTube like... gosh, 15 years ago and have no idea how long it took to get there) but I'm wondering if anyone here is doing the YouTube thing? One post I saw indicated they take the same video and throw a subscribe button on it towards the end and then post it, but I'm wondering if it's worth the "extra" editing. Right now while I'm trying to get to 100 videos my reviews are single take, no edits, just trim off the ends and post it lol. 01/07/26 EDIT: It's a couple of days later, I've uploaded 15 of my existing videos to YouTube with absolutely no additional editing. Within 30 minutes I have a couple hundred views on one video and a handful of views on maybe 5 others, AND I have over 20 clicks on the links I've provided to the items I've shared! Now to get monetized, lol.
