From Unboxing To Five Stars: A Step-by-Step Guide to Amazon Influencer Review Videos 2023

About this video

Martinez gives a step-by-step guide to Amazon Influencer Program review videos, from approval to ranking and sales. He says approval requires over 1,000 followers in total across social platforms (for example, followers on Instagram, Facebook and YouTube combined) and that, when he was approved, the process was automatic after sharing his socials. To unlock onsite commissions he says you must post three videos, which took him about one to two weeks. His filming method is show-and-tell: use the listing as a reference, demonstrate what the product does, and film horizontally or vertically on a phone or camera — vertical videos of 30 to 60 seconds can be pushed to Amazon Inspire, he says. He demos this reviewing a wreath storage container that fits a 30-inch wreath. For editing he mentions free CapCut (removing its watermark) and shows his own Filmora workflow: auto-normalizing audio and using silence detection to cut dead air and get to the point fast. On earnings, he reports averaging between $1,500 and $3,000 a month in commissions with a goal of $5,000 a month, and advises setting micro-goals and reinvesting early earnings into more products to review. He says videos take 12 to 24 hours to publish and three to five days to rank on a listing. For research he recommends starting with your own past Amazon orders and everyday products, and using a tool he calls Fluencer Fruit, targeting a score of 70 or above, checking BSR and reviews for consistent sales, and favoring listings with open influencer carousel slots so a video can rank in the top spots.

Key takeaways

• He says Amazon Influencer approval requires 1,000+ total followers across social platforms, and onsite commissions require posting three review videos.
• Film show-and-tell videos focused on the product’s features; phones work fine, and 30- to 60-second vertical videos can reach Amazon Inspire.
• Edit for pace and clean audio — he uses Filmora’s audio normalization and silence detection, and warns to remove CapCut’s watermark if using its free version.
• He reports averaging $1,500-$3,000/month in commissions and advises micro-goals (e.g., $100/month consistently first) and reinvesting earnings into more products to review.
• Research before filming: use Fluencer Fruit scores of 70+, check BSR and reviews for consistent sellers, and target listings with few existing influencer videos on the carousel.
