Before I joined this group I had 0 sales, and within the last few days with my bagthatthangup site I have 14 sales!!! This just made my day!! I’m so thankful I found Coffee and Cashflow!! I’m not showing any commission yet though 🫪 BUT I MADE SALES FINALLY and that’s what matters!

Have you seen the new updates to the TOS agreement? Take heed to stay compliant! It was best explained by my friend Ehud Segev in his Logie community. I wasn't able to share the post link, but here is his break down (though lengthy): Here’s a clear, plain-English breakdown of exactly what’s changing in the Amazon Associates Program Operating Agreement and Program Policies effective April 14, 2026. Amazon’s “what’s changed” summary is vague and as always very hard to understand (probably in purpose lol), so I pulled the current (pre-change) rules from the official Operating Agreement and Program Policies pages (still live as of now) and compared them directly to the announced updates. I’ll quote the old wording where it exists, explain the new rule, and tell you what it actually means for associates/influencers in practice. 1. Associates Program Commission Income Statement – Qualifying Purchases This is the big section that defines what counts as a commissionable sale. What it used to be (current rules): Qualifying Purchases require: * Customer clicks your Special Link (or uses your tagged Alexa skill). * They buy during the session/cookie window (24 hours for most stuff, up to 89 days if they add to cart). * AND “the Product is shipped to, streamed or downloaded by, and paid for by the customer.” Disqualified purchases include a narrow list, such as: * Stuff bought after you terminate your account. * Cancellations/refunds. * Only specific paid search ads where you bid on Amazon trademarks/keywords like “amazon” or “kindle” (called “Prohibited Paid Search Placement”). No 180-day limit mentioned anywhere.35 What’s changing (new rules effective April 14): * Added 180-day time limit: The product must now be shipped to, streamed or downloaded by, and paid for by the customer within 180 days to qualify. (The exact phrasing in the update confirms this is a new hard cutoff.) * Expanded disqualified purchases: Now includes any products bought by customers who came through any paid or boosted advertisement linking to Amazon (e.g., boosted posts on social media, paid ads on Meta/Google/etc., even influencer “boosts”). This applies regardless of whether you used prohibited keywords. Limited exceptions will apply (Amazon hasn’t detailed them yet, but expect them to be narrow).

If you've been an Amazon Associate or influencer for longer than 30 days and have not gotten 3 sales, here is the honest, and maybe harsh truth about it... It’s most likely your consistency... or the lack there of. There is nothing else to it. Your process of sharing your affiliate link doesn't exist. You've shared a few links here and there, and most likely at random times. Tell me if I'm wrong. Be honest... at least with yourself. Now here is the great news... You probably already have the tools you need to show up in a way that's easy for you. You've got your Amazon account You have a ton of content in your phone - find a pic or video and repurpose it Your phone probably has a camera - Take a pic or shoot a video clip You probably have Canva (if you don't get it; the free version will do) - create a collage or video - use the AI feature if you need to. You probabaly have Pinterest (if you don't, get it... a business account) - in your settings, connect your Amazon Affiliate account - if you can't, just enter your product affiliate link as the destination link. - or use the link to your linktree, facebook, insta, Benable (wherever you have live links) Post to Pinterest once a day until you can do more. ONE. Comment below if you can do that for the next 1 week. On week 2, do 2 posts a day if you can. If you can't, stick to one. CONSISTENCY. On week 3 do 3 posts a day if you can. If you can't, stick to two. CONSISTENCY. On week 4 do 4 posts a day if you can. If you can't stick to three. CONSISTENCY!

No shame or judgement - just say so below and lets see what we can do about it!

I see a lot of people get approved for the Amazon Associates or Amazon Influencer Program... and then do absolutely nothing with it. Not because they don't want to. Because they don't know where to start. They don't have a website.They don't have a storefront strategy.They don't have a plan.They don't know what to post. BAGTHATTHANGUP was rebuilt to solve that problem. When you sign up, your site is created instantly and loaded with more than 1,000 live deals. No website building. No product uploads. No technical setup. No waiting. You simply claim your site, customize it if you'd like, and start sharing your link. For many people, this is the missing first step between getting approved and actually using their Amazon account.
