Amazon Influencer Program: How I Got My Review Videos Accepted (Get Approved The 1st Try)

About this video

RJ Martinez explains how to get approved for Amazon Influencer onsite commissions, where creators earn when viewers watch their product videos on Amazon. After getting an account, he says to upload only three videos for review — not 10 or 15, where one mistake could cause denial — and wait through a review he says can take one to two weeks; his own took about six to eight days. The videos should be focused show-and-tell demos of only the product, with good lighting and audio; he says he did not show his face in his first 50 videos, using a PlayStation controller demo as the example. Talking points should come from the listing itself: the ‘About this product’ section, Q&A, product images, and customer reviews. He edits with Filmora (mentioning CapCut and phone editing as options), uses an AI writing assistant like ChatGPT to generate titles that must be under 60 characters, stresses tagging the exact product, and discusses custom versus Amazon default thumbnails. For research, he looks for listings — free by clicking through listings, or faster with the paid tool Influencer Fruit — with open video slots, good scores, strong BSR and reviews, aiming to rank first or second in the carousel.

Key takeaways

• Upload only three approval videos and focus entirely on them; uploading extra videos risks denial if one violates Amazon’s rules.
• Film a pure show-and-tell of the product only — he says he showed no face in his first 50 videos — with good lighting and audio.
• Source talking points from the listing: the About section, Q&A, images, and reviews, and keep most videos around one to three minutes.
• Tag the exact product reviewed, keep titles under 60 characters, and use an AI assistant to generate title and script-outline ideas.
• Research products with open carousel video slots, strong BSR and reviews — Influencer Fruit scores over 70 are presented as good opportunities — so the video can rank first or second.
