The recent onsite commission cut was a pretty loud reminder that we can’t build everything on one stream of traffic. Amazon onsite videos are still valuable, but relying only on Amazon to show our content to shoppers is risky. The more I learn, the more I’m convinced that off-site traffic needs to be part of the strategy too. That’s why I’m excited about my friend Andreea Matei's Pinterest course. Andreea is an experienced Amazon Influencer with a lot of success, and she also really understands Pinterest. Not as another social media platform to babysit, but as a search engine where content can keep getting found long after you post it. Her course walks through how Amazon Influencers and Associates can use Pinterest to drive traffic to storefronts, Idea Lists, affiliate links, and other income streams. She also teaches how to repurpose content you already have, use Pinterest SEO, batch-create pins, and use AI to make the process faster. That part feels especially helpful right now. We don’t just need more content. We need smarter traffic sources. The course is heavily discounted for a limited time, and I do think it’s worth looking at if you’re trying to diversify and build something more stable outside of onsite commissions. It's currently on sale but will be going up soon as she is adding more features to the course. https://stan.store/affiliates/f01e8d8a-93c0-4040-a290-aff349b85ae0 (affiliate link)

@Nicole Vincent is there a live video today with you and Data Claire?

I’ve been a little quiet the past couple weeks… And that was intentional. There’s been a lot of change inside the Amazon Influencer Program, and I didn’t want to react too quickly or jump to conclusions. I wanted to actually see what was happening first. Now that I’ve had some time to look at my own numbers, talk with other top influencers, and test a few things… I finally feel like I have a clearer picture. Short version? Yes, there was a real hit. Yes, things have shifted. And yes… the strategy needs to change. But I don’t think the opportunity is gone. I think it just requires a different approach now. In this video, I’m sharing: What I’m actually seeing in my numbers What’s changed in reporting (and why it’s confusing) What I’m personally doing moving forward If you’ve been feeling unsure, frustrated, or trying to figure out your next step… this will help you get grounded and think more strategically. Curious… What kind of impact have you seen so far?

I was a guest on The Creators Leverage Guild with Ben Phair and Michael Strahl Jr.. We had a fabulous conversation about how I got into the Amazon influencer program and how I've found success in it. You won't want to miss this conversation! https://geni.us/jCwOr

I was curious if I should add my email to my AIP Bio? I’ve seen people in comments on various FB groups that companies reach out to them through their email and they don’t send CC messages.
