Amazon Ignite - What Is Amazon Ignite And How To Apply

About this video

RJ Martinez explains Amazon Ignite, which he describes as Amazon’s marketplace for digital educational resources, and urges viewers to request an invitation immediately. He says he learned from Merch by Amazon — where waiting cost him about three months before an invite — that the sooner you sign up, the better. He highlights the terms as shown on the Ignite page: zero upfront cost, creators only have to create the content, royalties of up to 70% on sales for products under a price threshold he references, minus a 30-cent transaction fee per resource sold, and no other fees as he reads it. Uploads, he says, appear on Amazon within two business days after a content review meant to protect creators’ rights and customer experience. The program is invitation-only; he advises filling out every field on the request form, including optional ones. He says a friend was invited about a week or two after applying, while he himself had waited about a month without an invite and was checking email daily. He then browses the storefront, organised for K-12 across K-5, middle school and high school, and recommends researching what is already selling — for example writing lessons and beginning multiplication — and creating resources around a subject you love and are good at, as he says he is with math.

Key takeaways

• Amazon Ignite is described as an invitation-only marketplace for digital educational resources for K-12, split into K-5, middle school and high school categories
• As he reads the Ignite page: zero upfront cost, up to 70% royalties minus a 30-cent transaction fee per resource sold, and resources appear within two business days after review
• Apply as early as possible — he contrasts a friend invited within about one to two weeks with his own month-long wait, and with his three-month Merch by Amazon invite delay
• Fill out every field on the invitation request, including fields marked optional
• Research the existing storefront first to see what buyers are purchasing, then create resources in a subject you love and know well
